I Feel Bad for the Hooker

Ashley Youmans is a prostitute that most likely never planned on making national headlines as a call girl. Her dream is to be a singer.

She describes her past as including abuse and a broken home. I believe it. Certainly that is the track record for most hookers. It puts prostitution in a new light. He was a very powerful man who was using a girl for sex who was alone, unsupported and had no family to rely on. Or none worth mentioning, anyway. Ashley Youmans' mother was quoted as saying that her daughter probably didn't know that Spitzer was the Governor "but is smart enough to handle it." How's that for a supportive Mom? It's probably what she said when Ashley was a girl being abused, too. And it sure doesn't sound like she even talking to her daughter.

In the end, I really feel sorry for her, not Gov. Spitzer. He'll be able to live this down and go earn a living somehow. He tosses away a career and respect for what? All so he could indulge in some fantasy of having a hot, young girlfriend being into him.

Way to go, Elliot Ness.
