Governor X: Call Girl Says She Worked With Another Married Pol

An escort who was hired by Eliot Spitzer claims to have worked with another married governor.

Another gubernatorial sex scandal may be looming. Even as South Carolina's Mark Sanford waits to see whether his wife, Jenny, forgives his romp in the pampas, a New York call girl could plunge one of America's most prominent governors into a fresh hell. [...]

[T]he elegant blond courtesan, whom we'll continue to call "Annie," is talking about three "dates" she allegedly had with another state's chief executive, who we'll call Gov. X.

The same call girl said Spitzer choked her during rough sex, a charge the former New York governor's lawyer called "outrageous and defamatory."

According to the escort, this mysterious other governor has a wife who "is quite prominent in her own right." Her madam corroborates the account; his spokesman has denied it.

Sounds like the Gov. of Taxachusetts. His wife is very high profile but you would need to be an insider to know that. He still has major connections to NY. Probably not the terminator. Too well known and the description of his wife as "prominent" is like saying Mt. Everest is tall. LOL, our national obsession with the sex lives of politicos thrusts onward.

If you have to be an insider to know she's high profile, then she's not high profile.

It's okay with me if any governor has any sex with anyone. Not okay with you? Oh, you're concerned about the hypocrisy thingy? Why? Candidates got to feed the frenzy of zealots who believe a man or woman can't govern a state unless he conforms with your religious beliefs. So, he cooperate with people's delusions so he can get the job. But the head of General Electric has a girl friend on the side but does a wonderful job running GE. Why don't you care about his moral status? We seem to focus on simple things because we don't have the ability to understand the more complex.

Maybe it's because these very people campaigned on "Family Values".....and were very pious about it....Then they get exposed to be the exact opposite....that's why it's news.

[jackbutler5555]

It's news because people who wish to impose their moral judgments on others find it compelling. It's news because people who don't like people who impose moral judgments can play gotcha.

[Harlyridr]

Main difference is: A Govenor is the head of the state not a corporation, effing DUH!! I could give a cr*p about the head of a coprporation/company.

[jackbutler5555]

So, a "head of the state," otherwise doing a great job, has to comply with your set of morals?

[DeBartolo]

The C.E.O. of GE was APPOINTED by the Board of Directors. There isn't a republican politican from the local dog catcher to Bush who hasn't been elected on a FAMIY VALUES, GOD FIRST, WE ARE THE PARTY OF GOD...for the last 20 plus years...that is why...hypocrist...Phairsees and Philestines..thats why

[jackbutler5555]

Bothered by hypocrisy, eh? But isn't hypocrisy the mother's milk of politics? How does a Republican get elected without galvanizing the support of people who are judgmental and who want to impose their moral code on everyone else? If one GOP office seeker refrains from doing so, he can't get elected. What would you have him do? Join another party? Fine. The guy who takes his place will know what to do.

[nowarpleez]

Maybe this is just a bad photo. No one that looks this bad could get paid for being taken out in public or being "serviced".

[theeye913]

How about the Governator? His wife is famous in her own right...

[Raster]

Hmmm...that seems to be the best fit yet.

[AleshiaMassey]

I don't know who her surgeon is...but she needs to get her money back..

[GuyFawkes]

Is that woman in the picture the subject of the article? Because THAT'S A MAN, BABY!

And, oh, Schwarzenegger?

[sepia830]

I was thinking the same thing. Can't wait to see who slept with that.

[kepary]

more "hard hitting news" from huffing and puffington post

[kepary]

she said he was handsome so more than likely it was a Republican

[cariintexas]

I wasn't aware dementia affected the eyes kepary.

[kepary]

spitzer... i rest my case

[SaulBloodworth]

Since she looks like a he, it's most likely a Republican

[ObamacratInCA]

In the picture accompanying this article, I musts say that Joan Rivers looks surprisingly youthful.

[unite4change]

If you don't have all the pertinent information wait until do before running a story because if we wanted tabloid news, we would read the National Enquirer or some other tabloid magazine. These gossip stories strain your credibility.

[catallaxdeville]

don't listen hufflepuffs! more like this! any good beasty reality rumors you can drag up from our collective subconscious???

[impatient]

totally agree! LOVE the term hufflepuffs by the way. Genius.

[EquesLignite]

Mark Sanford has a prominent wife, Wall Street trader, but if it was Sanford she would have disclosed this comfortably, so it is not him.

A sitting governor.......it may be Republican or Democrat, but there's not much difference. On the GOP side, Ensign and Craig did not resign, but Mark Foley resigned immediately. On the dem side, Gerry Studds did not resign but McGreevey did.

[threeboys]

Is it just me or does this 'girl' look like a 'guy'? This story could be VERY interesting if this is the case. Since Lindsey Graham isnt a Governor, I have no suggestions as to who it could be.

[pjgm]

Governor Palin? Maybe this is the real reason she resigned. :-O

[EquesLignite]

She's no longer a "sitting governor".

[blackonics]

Yes, it looks like a transexual or whatever the politically correct term is. Some are more attractive than women. But not this one, so the poliitician wont be able to say he was fooled. Look at that face! I mean, that looks like a man, period. If there is truth to this article, this is going to be a blow out!!!

[whit4brains]

That's what I thought as soon as I saw the pic. More like Andy than Annie...

[Bitsko]

Thanks for publishing these vague and unsubstantiated rumors, HuffP0. William Randolph Hearst would be proud.

[lvdragonlady]

Let the speculation begin.

[MelRoy]

For LMDV3:

Ann Romney has received recognition in dressage as an adult amateur at the national level including earning her 2006 Gold Medal and 2005 Silver Medal at the Grand Prix level from the United States Dressage Federation. She also sometimes competes in professional dressage events and has broken the 60% level at Grand Prix. She and trainer Jan Ebing qualified for the Pan-Am games in 2004.

She is director of the inner-city based Best Friends, won the 2006 Lifetime Achievement Award from Operation Kids and is a board member of United Way.

I'd say that is "prominent in her own right", although I don't think Mitt is "Governor X" since the article implies "Governor X" is a sitting governor.

[SaulBloodworth]

Also, it would not be illegal since Mitt is a Mormon.

[impatient]

Well I don't remember when the article was written. Romney was a governor not all THAT long ago.

Also, polygamy is illegal now. Of course, he could have celestially sealed himself to this madam and that would make it all ok, I think.

[liveandlearn]

there is a sitting governor in california whose wife is prominent. as far as i can tell, all the women who are governors are not suspect.
