Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I am with you guys. Also, wouldn't most of that have been her money? Am I correct in thinking she's been a fancy lawyer while he's been a public servant?

No, Spitzer has family money (which he lied about using to pay for his election to AG), and she left (Skadden, I think) a long time ago.

Because books.

I think the story is he spent $80,000 over a period of years sexing the hooker ladies. ::rolls eyes::

I'm so with Aimee. It's like these women get to be punished *again* by having to stand up there and pretend that they're supporto gal in front of the world.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh yeah, I forgot about his family. And didn't realize she hadn't practiced in so long, until I just read this profile: [link]

I dunno. Silda is a smart cookie, and very tough. I doubt anyone is forcing her to do what she doesn't want to do. I don't like the idea that she's not doing this for her own reasons-- maybe her kids, or her divorce settlement, or her other ambitions after this.

Like Hillary.

Somebody remind me to buy coffee before I go home. And that it's okay to spend a little bit more for a pound of good coffee because it works out to $0.30 a day.

Life is far too short for bad coffee.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Random: awesome kitchen gadget.

In the kitchen, there are gadget people and then there are knife people. Gadget people are never content to rely upon a traditional, elegant solution to a food preparation problem, and instead use various colorful and wittily named gadgets. Knife people want to turn their sharpest knives on the gadget people resulting in a colorful and satisfying plume of blood and a cascade of the ever-intensifying screams, but do not ultimately do so for fear of somehow damaging the blade.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I dunno. Silda is a smart cookie, and very tough. I doubt anyone is forcing her to do what she doesn't want to do. I don't like the idea that she's not doing this for her own reasons-- maybe her kids, or her divorce settlement, or her other ambitions after this.

Like Hillary.

But would not going to the press conferences really hurt their ambitions? I can see how it could hurt the kids, but I don't see how it could hurt her divorce settlement (if she decides to go that route). If I were in her shoes, I think I would rather be with my kids.
