The Full Spitzy! Eliot Spitzer Offered Big Money To Pose Nude In Playgirl

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

Please no.

Hustler maybe...he's more a subject for Hustler.

Playgirl's readers are mostly gay men.

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.
