Eliot Spitzer: big dumbass. From the article:
The prostitution ring arranged sex between wealthy men and more than 50 prostitutes in New York, Washington, Los Angeles, Miami, London and Paris, prosecutors said. Four people allegedly connected to the high-end ring were arrested last week.
The club’s Web site displays photographs of scantily clad women with their faces hidden. It also shows hourly rates depending on whether the prostitutes were rated from one diamond to seven diamonds. The highest-ranked prostitutes cost $5,500 an hour, prosecutors said.
Sounds like a lot of money, but that $5500 includes a free raffle ticket. Sorry if that joke sucks, but I will need a few days to get my head around the idea of $5500/hour hookers. Actually, the idea of $5500 is making me kind of woozy.
And before any of you animals make any insensitive jokes, please remember that most of these women freebase a half-dozen Fabergé eggs a day, just to deal with the pain.

Yeah, well. No matter how many McMansions you own, you can only buy so many elephant penis bar stools.
March 10, 2008 at 5:47 pm
I’m almost certain that the sex is just as good if you pay only $2,000 an hour for it.
Fiscal irresponsibility!!! Liburlz!!!1!!

Sez you.
March 10, 2008 at 6:15 pm
Sez you.
Arriviste.

You will deny me my elephant penis bar stools, madam, when you pry them from my cold, dead, um, er …
OK, I think that might get us up around $3250/hr. Throw in some overpriced cocktails and a mandatory 18% gratuity and we may be in business.

I resent being called an animal, especially because I follow a felonious link to this site…(a little humor made it better)…but who are you (excuse me) to illicit the “vagaries of existence of near latent and history in antiquity”…If these professional woman can command that price, so be it…you, when you go to a strip club, could at least have the best inclination to at least tip well.
March 10, 2008 at 6:35 pm
The highest-ranked prostitutes cost $5,500 an hour, prosecutors said.
Or more. The 7-diamond ranking corresponded with a $3100/hour rate. After that came the Icon Club:
From the criminal complaint (pdf), which I’m reading as we speak.
March 10, 2008 at 6:46 pm
Oops, I typed that wrong. It should be “started at $5,500 per hour.”
I still suck at blockquotes.
March 10, 2008 at 7:00 pm
Or $10 behind the recycle bin.
No, $5500 buys you *secrecy*.
Remember that.
March 10, 2008 at 7:01 pm
I don’t know why everyone’s getting worked up about $55.00 an hour hookers. That seems to be the going rate
here at the Truckers Innfrom what I’ve seen in movies and such.March 10, 2008 at 7:17 pm
For $5,500 an hour he could have hired Mark Penn.
March 10, 2008 at 7:35 pm
For $5,500 an hour he could have hired Mark Penn.
Although the Emperor’s Club’s clients undoubtedly enjoy happier endings than do Penn’s clients.
March 10, 2008 at 7:42 pm
I’ll TELL you when I’ve had enough!
March 10, 2008 at 7:42 pm
tit for tat. spitzer was stupid. tat is always bigger.
brought to the front by those hard working DOJ’s who want to save us.
March 10, 2008 at 7:46 pm
Yeah, but could he buy Mark Penn’s vagina?

Nightmares tonight. Thanks, CAT!
March 10, 2008 at 8:32 pm
To be fair, according to the complaint Spitzer only paid $3,000. And “Kristen” was there for almost two hours.
March 10, 2008 at 8:39 pm
The highest-ranked prostitutes cost $5,500 an hour, prosecutors said.
It sounds like a lot of money, but frankly, I can’t imagine being persuaded to sleep with a politician for such a paltry sum, even if you threw in a roofie.
March 10, 2008 at 8:43 pm
Uhm Asshole. We had high expectations for you Spitzer, but you couldn’t jerk it to that stack of Club International’s in your walk-in closet for four to eight years in the name of reform? Boooo!
March 11, 2008 at 2:49 am
Over $5000 an hour? And I thought Celtics tickets were expensive!
March 11, 2008 at 6:26 am
Silda’s hot, if she wants to get even she can have me for the 3 diamond rate.
March 11, 2008 at 6:38 am
5500 bux an hour, that has got to be fashion model rates. No not the Gemma Ward or the Bundchen level. But the girls in the Macy’s or Bloomingdale’s catalogs, or maybe in the Chadwick’s or Talbot’s catalogs….yeah. Some of them are pretty h0++.
March 11, 2008 at 7:42 am
So when do we get the names of the rest of the Emperors? I’m looking forward to some broad-based schadenfreude.
March 11, 2008 at 8:25 am
Well, Spitzer was certainly a dumbass, because he shoulda known they’d be gunnin’ for him… but it’s not like he shot somebody in the face with a shotgun or something.
March 11, 2008 at 8:26 am
” Sorry if that joke sucks, but I will need a few days to get my head around the idea of $5500/hour hookers.”
Hey, face time with the President doesn’t come cheap. At least you get some overcooked chicken.
March 11, 2008 at 8:27 am
“Although the Emperor’s Club’s clients undoubtedly enjoy happier endings than do Penn’s clients.”
Money shots don’t count.
March 11, 2008 at 10:48 am
Be the first kid on your block to get one of these!

Seems like tranny crack-addicted streetwalking rates when you consider that we’re paying $14 million/hr for Iraq.
March 11, 2008 at 1:12 pm
but it’s not like he shot somebody in the face with a shotgun or something.
Actually, I think he used the something.
March 11, 2008 at 1:15 pm
I’m busy making my list of everything I’d need to get accomplished during my hour of $5500 sex. I’m up to page 56…
March 11, 2008 at 2:56 pm
I’m busy making my list of everything I’d need to get accomplished during my hour of $5500 sex. I’m up to page 56…
Yeah, ’cause after the sex is over, you still have, what, fifty-eight minutes to burn? Money down the toilet….
March 11, 2008 at 10:08 pm
You could perhaps kill time discussing literary theory with her.

He should have stayed with the low priced spread…
March 13, 2008 at 1:51 am
J-, notice it says the highest ranked members were “permitted to schedule appointments for… services with the most highly-ranked prostitutes whose fees started at $5,000 per hour.” It doesn’t say the client actually got to fuck them, just make appointments with them. In fact, the $5k/hour prostitute may have been purely suppositional, a postmodern construct of prostitutativity if you will.
