Addendum: I’d love to see the rating criteria of the Emperor’s Club. What makes Sydney more than twice as desirable (and five times as expensive) as Sienna?

And finally, rounding out my Spitzer/prostitution post for the day, we go to the governor’s replacement giving a presser earlier:

Paterson also displayed a rather awesome sense of humor. “Just so we don’t have to go through this whole resignation thing again,” one ballsy reporter asked, “have you ever patronized a prostitute?” Paterson thought for a minute. “Only the lobbyists,” he said.

I never cease to be amazed by stuff like this. We don’t know the precise details yet of this ‘prostitution ring involvement’ on the part of the Gov. Spitzer. But how exactly is it that someone who makes it his business to bust the chops of big wall street titans uses prostitutes?
