I can hardly wait - only 8 hours until Diane Sawyer’s interview with Ashley Dupre, the lady of the night who brought down New York Governor Elliot Spitzer.  Sure Bill Clinton had his own little sex scandal, but damn that was for free.  Elliot was breaking all kinds of laws by paying for his bootie.   While Spitzer’s penis ruined his political career, it wasn’t as titillating as say, the Profumo Case.

Not familiar with British sex scandals, well let Jewssip take you back to 1963, when Harold MacMillan was the Prime Minister of England and John Profumo was Secretary of State for War. Well, Profumo had an affair with topless showgirl, Christine Keeler, who also happened to carrying on with a Soviet naval attache, which in the height of the Cold War turned this rendez-vous into a sex scandal of epic proportions with hints of espionage.  The allegations led to Profumo resigning and helped bring about the downfall of Harold Macmillan’s government.

Like Ashley, Christine Keeler entered the media spotlight.  However, the real winner of the scandal was Arne Jacobsen, a Jewish Danish architect and designer, whose Number 7 chair propelled to stardom when Christine Keeler straddled it naked in the iconic portrait by Lewis Morley.  Hmmm, how will the Spitzer Affair be remembered in history? Hopefully, not for the Ikea bookshelf in the 20/20 pic above.

Lindsey and Samantha were roaming the streets of Manhattan yesterday. Unlike last week, their presence didn’t cause swarming pappers to capture any more married men (ie. TJ Earle) in the midst of a tryst with Gov. Spitzer’s fav call girl, Ashlee Dupre (if she’s not busy fielding reality tv show ideas she should have a home-wrecker lunch with Sienna Miller). Anyway, LiLo and Sam didn’t get into anything all that exciting, but Sam did put an end to rumors that she hates little Ali Lohan’s new song by writing on her blog, “I really like the song - as soon as her MySpace page goes up it will be a song of the day. ” Now that’s a prediction - anyone want to take a wager?

Technically this is old news, but I love the story so much, especially after watching the newest episode of “Secret Diary of A Call Girl” last night.  I’ve got to hand it to Elliot Spitzer, at least he picked one super fine looking lady for his “girlfriend experience.”  Here’s to you Ashlee Dupre - I hope you get more out of this scandal than a line of handbags a la Monica Lewinsky.
