Ruby Rubacuori: 5 Facts on the Belly Dancer in the Silvio Berlusconi Scandal
By Steven Hoffer - AOL NewsWill a Moroccan belly dancer bring down Silvio Berlusconi? Eighteen-year-old Ruby Rubacuori, who said she got 7,000 euros and a Damiani necklace from the Italian prime minister, is central to allegations that Berlusconi paid for sexual encounters with the then-17-year-old girl and used his political power to cover up their relations. Rubacuori insists that she was never intimate with Berlusconi. "It [was] the first time in my life that a man has not tried to take me to bed. He behaved like a father, I swear," she told La Repubblica in October 2010. But that won't stop Italian authorities ...
Judge Releases Alleged Prostitution Client List to Defense
By Mara Gay - AOL NewsA federal judge has ordered the government to turn over to a defense lawyer a list of 30,000 names allegedly tied to a massive prostitution ring. Judge Arthur Tarnow in Detroit told prosecutors to give the list to the lawyer for a man accused of operating an international sex ring out of Miami. Tarnow ruled that the list, to be contained on a secure computer disk, cannot be copied or made public. The U.S. Attorney's Office had argued that the information in the little black book -- which includes not only client names but also addresses and phone numbers -- was too sensitive to be ...
US Soldier Pimped Hookers From His Md. Apartment
By Allan Lengel - AOL NewsWASHINGTON (April 28) -- Craig Allen Corey II was doing a lot more than soldiering when he was based at Fort Meade, Md. Federal authorities say the Army soldier was running a prostitution and drug trafficking ring from his apartment in Millersville, Md., a small town outside Baltimore, and advertising the hookers, at least one of whom was as young as 16, on Craigslist.

Ashley's Voice: 'Spitzer Girl' No Monster
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailySince the story of Eliot Spitzer's political demise hit the national news, there has been the usual saturation coverage, and what I find to be a disturbing attitude displayed by the public and the media. On the one hand, Eliot Spitzer, while not getting a free pass, has generally been portrayed as a good guy brought low by human weakness, a "personal tragedy". On the other hand, since the revelation of the identity of the girl for whom Spitzer was allegedly "Client #9", Ashley Alexandra Dupre', it seems to be open season on her virtue, her character, even her hopes and dreams. Ashley is an ...
Spitzer's Hooker Is Having a Bad Week
By Brandon Barker - Politics DailyAshley Alexandra Dupré (born Ashley Youmans) left a broken home at the age of 17 and moved to New York City to make a name for herself. As of yesterday, she had succeeded.The New York Times reports that Ashley has spent the last few days holed up in her Manhattan apartment, contemplating her new place in history as the prostitute who (indirectly) brought down the tough-as-nails lawyer and Governor Eliot Spitzer. She has slept very little the past week, telling The Times, "I just don't want to be thought of as a monster." What does she want to be known for? Her music, of course. According to ...
Spitzer 'Flaw' More Farce than Tragedy
By Eric Schulzke - Politics DailyRuth Marcus wrote a odd piece in the WashPo today, hilariously mistaking Spitzer's downfall for a Greek tragedy. "The brave hero brought low by his own arrogance" she begins. First let's be clear -- Eliot Spitzer was never a brave hero. He was a clever opportunist who assumed a mantle of virtue because it proved to be a catchy look on the political catwalk.The opportunist behind the mantle was obvious to everyone who paid critical attention to his performance in the last decade. His repeat offense on campaign finance laws -- laundering money from his dad to make it look like his own -- might ...

It's All Silda Spitzer's Fault
By Denise Williams - Politics DailyOr so says crazy-ass Dr. Laura Schlessinger on the Today Show with Meredith Vieira this morning. As if being being the wife of a scuzzbucket and mother of three teenaged daughters isn't rough enough under these circumstances. (via HuffPo) VIEIRA: Do you think women play any role in this, Dr. Laura? SCHLESSINGER: It's interesting. what you said about what men need -- men do need validation. When they come into the world they're born of a woman. Getting the validation from mommy is the beginning of needing it from a woman. When the wife does not focus in on the needs and the feelings ...
