You know what they say: big ears, big...circulation numbers? Playgirl has offered to make former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer "a very attractive offer" to pose for their magazine. On a posting today on the Playgirl blog, the mag invited Spitzer to show them "what you saved for such a select few," dangling the $1 million figure offered by Hustler to callgirl Ashley Alexandra Dupré, whom Spitzer first met as "Kristen" and who has since been revealed happily offering up the goods for free on various "Girls Gone Wild" videotapes.

Here's the post that went online earlier today on "playgirlmag.wordpress.com," which ETP has confirmed actually IS the blog of Playgirl Magazine:


Dear Eliot,

It's not fair. We've been watching you; and we've seen how you've been crucified by the mass media, conservatives, and Republicans. We've stood by as your call-girl was offered $1 million by Hustler to show the world what she's already been showing the world for a whole lot less.

We think you've had a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week. But we've been thinking.

Your political career is sadly over; and you owe a lot of money to a lot of people. Hell, you may land in jail before too long. So consider this letter a brief note of urgency.

How about making some loot back, by showing us what you saved for such a select few? How about strutting your sexuality, and defending your right to get down for the magazine and Playgirl.com? Couldn't you use a little rent money right about now? Seriously — get in touch with us. We're ready to make you a very attractive offer. Someone get Spitzer on the line: Playgirl needs him naked, now.

Wow — imagine what they'd pay Paterson! We confirmed the legitimacy of the offer with Playgirl editor-in-chief Nicole Caldwell — so, Spitzer, if you're reading this, you have options!

Also, an old-media/new-media note here: Caldwell said she understood our skepticism about the wordpress URL, noting that the magazine is separate from the website and blog, which are completely separate. She said that plans are afoot to merge the two, eventually.

I have to wonder if Spitzer was caught because of GWB illegal wiretap program. After all Spitzer was fighting with wall street and GW other big business friends. Hmmmm

You'd have to pay me as much as Kristen to look at a nude pic of that creepy old man!

Who'd want to see that?

Let me put it this way, I have seen more nude men in my 47 years( My dad is a sculptor and taught drawing and sculpture), and there are people who can get by with it and those who can't. This guy needs to keep his clothes on. Sorry, very few people can pull it off with grace, much less beauty, I mean the body is what the body is, and when its nude, its ugly. You can only airbrush out so much before you become a cartoon. Even I know my own limits. Not that I am roadkill, but you just have to know when you can't pull it off. No, keep the clothes on. Please, keep your clothes on. I am not a prude, not some right wing nut hung up on thier issues, far from it. I just know what is and what ain't. And honey, he is an aint'.,

People like you disgust me to no end, people who think only women with C cups and 20 inch waists have beautiful bodies, people who think only a man with muscles so big it looks like he's wearing a football padding under his skin is worth looking at. I have been with many partners both male and female some big, some small, some short, some tall, and I know every nude body is beautiful and that people like you are so preconditioned that your opinions are nothing more than regurgitated commercial crap that isn't worth reading. If you have a problem with some ones body you should keep your damn mouth shut, its mindless automatons like you that make young girls and boys feel so depressed that they live in a constant state of fear, and hope you go home and take your biased, untolerant, nasty little brain and realize just how disgusting of a person you really are.

It's not about your personal sex partner's looks!
It's about a shallow, prurient ,population that a cover boy for Playgirl, once battler of corruption, would be a topic for discussion when we are in a critical survival situation politically!
None of those people on the beach in Florida that someone interviewed yesterday; ( I forget which program they're all uniformly vapid,) No one had the first clue about the candidates issues,
BUT they were there tanning their bodies!
This country is too immature to run a democracy successfully! So we are being taken over and "managed" for the gain of a very few!

I'm guessing the photographer better have a telephoto lens, or else he wouldn't have to pay for it.

His wife is very attractive, so he had better options that were free.

I've actually heard one of my gay male friends say that he found Eliot Spitzer to be very attractive.

I can't say I agree, but then again I'm not attracted to male ex-governors.

I'm into female ex-governors.

I just want to point out that despite quite a few news sources that mistakenly reported Spitzer's codename for himself as "client number nine", it actually was "client nine", no "number" in the name.

Now, maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part, but I think it's an important distinction...

A t his age, he looks damned better than most men I know at that age. I'd buy a copy! Look around you at other men you know his age-- most would look pretty .... well.... not a candidate for a magazine. And given all the crap he's taken from Repubs-- why not cash in now?? They made him a star-- go for it!

Wrong. Although he doesn't have a "beer" belly, I am only two years younger and look way better than him. I also work out three times a week. I don't know what he does.

Spitzer didn't initiate anything here. Nothing. It's all fantasy and publicity for Playgirl at the expense of a dog that's down.
And look at how this takes off here ..some people respond as if he'd accepted and was running with the offer.
Some of you have to learn to distinguish between reality and fantasy. If you had that capacity,
you wouldn't have fallen for the fantasies of *sswipes Bush and neocons ... and your economy wouldn't be
crashing all around you, and a lot of dead people would still be alive.

If people really wanted to know what was happening they would have asked why the FBI was following around the only politician who would have really DONE something about the crooks who are stealing billions and ruining the economy instead of making stupid jokes about prostitutes or "diagnosing" him but instead of doing that everyone demanded he resign and yet these same people are angry and "shocked" that the Fed is making taxpayers assume responsibility for the bad loans at BS so JP Morgan can make more money.

But most Americans didn't have a problem with invading Iraq until they realized it might actually cost OUR COUNTRY something and be bad for the economy so I'm not surprised that all they focused on was the s_x instead of thinking about who went after him.

Cooooool. Just what the readers of Playgirl need. Images of the body of a middle aged man who has to pay for sex on the side.

Have they run out of nude men that woman might be willing to fuck for free?

Or is being a prostitute the latest Playgirl reader fantasy?

I'm quite sure that he had many women who would have had s_x with him for free - did you forget that he was the governor?

He obviously didn't want to have some woman become emotionally attached to him and he didn't want a conflict of interest - you know, the way the new governor had affairs with women on his payroll? That is a conflict of interest - he did the smart thing by using a prostitute. And many women would be willing to have s_x with a brilliant man with an interesting career so the people here who are insulting him really don't know what they're talking about.

My comments were not directed at Spitzer - they were an editorial on Playgirl magazine. And you seem to have insights into both the governor's motives and sexual history that have never been published. You project too much. For all you know, he had all the charm of a spitting cobra, the social skills of Rain Man and the personal sex appeal of a bucket of slugs.

The only things we do know for certain is that he's married, he's fathered three daughters and he pays for sex with overpriced prostitutes.

Which brings me back to my question. What is the average Playgirl subscriber looking for? I'm not sure I comprehend the demographic.

If Elliot Spitzer ran for national office, I'd vote for him. He screwed up on a personal level. Yeah I know all the yada yada illegal prostitutes bull and the women are betrayed whine. But he was an effective agent protecting the public from corporate lowlifes, and we need that. I don't expect a Saint in public office (Even Saint Barak). Besides, some of the gay guys I know think he's sexy and would like to see him naked. Let's see is there anyone not yet offended?
