Ashley Dupre's Diane Sawyer Interview (VIDEO)

via ABC:

The young woman at the center of the historic downfall of the governor of New York is finally speaking out.

Ashley Dupré, the 23-year-old former escort who was the target of intense media scrutiny in the days after Gov. Eliot Spitzer's resignation from public office, has stepped forward to give her first television interview. Dupré told ABC News' Diane Sawyer that she does not feel responsible for Spitzer's downfall.

"If it wasn't me, it would have been someone else," she said. "I was doing my job. I don't feel that I brought him down."

$4000 a night for her huh?

[Samalabear]

I don't like to bash men, but honestly, this goes to show that men can be such idiots.

[alted1663]

She's right. It was Wall Street and the Bush Administration that gave the Feds the green light to start the investigation. That way he wasn't in the way for the Wall Street bailouts.

[ggirl00]

I could care less about Spitzer or Dupree. Hookers & Johns have been "doing business" since the beginning of time ... what makes these 2 so special.

[Samalabear]

Nothing! Just the MSM trying to make a quick buck and some dumb Americans willing to hand it over so we get more of this type of nonsense in the future.

[who38]

Hear, hear.

[tbirdalum]

Well, you should have, thats what he paid you for. When are you going to start writing that 2 page book, don't you have a book deal yet. Joe The Plumber and Ms. Moosejuice do. You could make millions and get off your back.

[mono]

this bimbo has hit the gold mine. Tomorrow, she will write a book and make millions.

[JimGroom]

The question is not if she brought him down. The question should be; did she go down. What a tasty biscuit! BTW, why does this site waste time with such nonsense.

[beezusjesus]

I love this website

[iamasocialist]

LOOK AT THOSE LIPS!

[rabiddog6708]

Hard to tell where those lips have been....th­e things those lips have done....th­e thing is, I don't care. Ashley can do what she wants, she's an adult....a­nd, yes, I would pay for the pleasure of her company.

[iamasocialist]

OMG, who wouldn't pay for that?!

[RogerRantjet]

Ahem. If I was going to plunk down that kind of dough and risk my career, reputation and marriage..­.I'd want to see something 10x more appealing than this average looking bimbo. I see more attractive women and young ladies than her at the local mall any day of the week.

I know that sounds superficial and insensitive, but as long as we're on the subject...­..

What is the media doing to Americans, just feeding more ignorance with Dupre as a headline, great - this is our 21st century symbol to follow... I couldn't give a hoot whose fault or fantasy it was. But it's evident that the media is not helping us evolve beyond this type of stupidity that the majority calls "interesting".

[zorak1704]

I asked my cousin the family Republican the follwing..­.Why is it when a democrat cheats, it's with an adult woman. But when a republican cheats, it's with some young boy or a randon guy in an airport mens room.

[kozy]

When you analyze that question and possible answers in depth, you will no doubt have part of the answer to what really makes rabid right wingers tick. It could be an abnormal maturity, and resultant dislike for many types of mature people. Or, perhaps the far right is conflicted with mixed childhood and adulthood both pulling in different directions creating their weird view of the world.

"I don't feel that I brought him down, just that I went down on him."

[rabiddog6708]

Watch her with the mute button activated. She is hot. I saw some pictures of her in a bikini....­WOW!...Ver­y few prostitutes you run into on the streets look this good. Of course, she wasn't standing on a street corner but was employed by an escort agency....­ordered in like a pizza.

[smittie]

So why is everyone slamming Ashley Dupre? She was doing her job,what she was paid to do

If Spitzer had been doing his job,what he was paid to do, there wouldn't be a story to tell would there?

And Spitzer would still have a job!

Put the blame where it belong's for goodness sake.

[Nikola Tesla]

Spitzer WAS doing his job, quite well, thank you. Well enough to make VERY POWERFUL enemies. You might remember them; they are the ones the American taxpayer is currently bailing out.

He resigned due to selective prosecution, or did you forget?

[who38]

The blame should be placed on Bushco and the Dept. of (Justice?) who exploited this incident. Dupre and Spitzer are the victims here. But Spitzer also exploited sexual incidents while AG in NY so he got what he deserved. When will the US stop meddling in the sexual and reproductive activity of its consenting adult citizens?

Must be like swimming in a sewer...
