Grand Theft Auto Critic Spitzer Resigns in Disgrace
March 12th, 2008
Client 9 has become Disgraced ex-Governor 1.
Eliot Spitzer, the moral crusader who, as GamePolitics reported, was so offended by the interactive prostitution in Grand Theft Auto, has vacated his office following revelations by the New York Times that he was a regular patron of high-priced call girls.
Here’s what Spitzer, a rising star in the Democratic party, had to say about GTA during his 2006 election campaign:
Media content has gotten more graphic, more violent and more sex-based… Currently, nothing under New York State law prohibits a fourteen-year old from walking into a video store and buying… a game like ‘Grand Theft Auto,’ which rewards a player for stealing cars and beating people up. Children can even simulate having sex with a prostitute…
FBI wiretaps captured him singing a different tune to the managers of the Emporers Club VIP service. Spitzer haggled over payment details as he arranged for a petite brunette named Kristen to rendezvous with him at a Washington, D.C. hotel. Later, Kristen and the escort service manager were overhead discussing Spitzer’s proclivities:
Manager: [Spitzer] would ask you to do things, that, like you might not think were safe. You know - I mean that - very basic things…
Kristen: I have a way of dealing with that. I’d be like, ‘listen, dude, do you really want the sex?”
And, apparently, Spitzer did. We wonder whether he’ll be picking up a copy of GTA IV now that he will have plenty of time on his hands…
UPDATE: The NY Times has identified Kristen as 22-year-old Ashley Alexandra Dupre (left), a struggling, would-be singer. You can check out her MySpace page. (http://www.myspace.com/ninavenetta) We’re willing to bet that this will be a boost to her career. Expect to see her on Larry King within a few days.
The next revelation will likely be the release of the audio tapes of the Guv’s, uh, dickering about the arrangements.
