Letter to Fox News (or, Fox & Friends):
It's interesting (euphemistically speaking) that your morning show is ridiculing and targeting Ashley/"Kristen" - and calling her the woman who brought down Spitzer - when Spitzer did this all by himself. The woman did not try to capitalize on Spitzer or "sleep her way to the top." She is not the one who outed Spitzer, as if to try to make herself famous. He outed himself by not being clever enough, by going after the type of crime he was guilty of, and by being the one to bring his business to her.
Why is your show not focusing on Spitzer's misdeeds and hypocrisy instead of castigating Ashley, criticizing her morality, and ridiculing her singing, when she is simply a side note in what is Spitzer's story?
(I'd also like to know why, just before the commercial break, heads nodded at, "I'm just so surprised that Spitzer would have done this." Really? Really? Is it so outside of the realm of what has happened throughout political history to have a political figure sleeping with someone other than the spouse?)
Spitzer - the angel.
The woman he was paying to sleep with - the evil influence.
I think I'm going to be sick.
*note: Much of the above can/should be applied to all equally guilty media outlets. I just happened to be watching Fox & Friends this morning.

The way I see it, Ashley is the only one who can honestly say she was just doing her job. Yes, it's illegal in most places in the U.S. (and shouldn't be), but there's nothing sneaky about it. He paid her to perform sexual acts, which she did and admitted to. The worst trouble she can be in is the vice crime of pandering.
Spitzer, on the other hand, is butt-ugly. No wonder he has to pay for it. ;)
Just my $.02.

Thanks, Kristen. You just gave me reason number 9,497 for not watching the cable news channels.
Seriously, Spitzer is a dolt. I feel bad for his wife (who, by the way, is a very attractive woman which begs the question of why even more).
Ian: Exactly!
Chief: Looks are irrelevant, and people get used to them. Especially after 20 years of marriage. People don't sleep around because of what their spouses or significant others look like, I'm guessing.
Only # 9,497? ;)
