Since prostitution is, anecdotally at least, an area where America might still actually be #1, the initial reluctance of ABC to run the Diane Sawyer show is surprising.

If there's anything Ashley Alexandra Dupré taught me, it's that I should be really careful about my MySpace photos -- turns out the Post pays a lot more for unpublished pics.

The season of the shadow calls for a leader to exemplify strength and courage. Obama is presenting himself as such a leader right now, but he hasn't escaped the shadow's grip.

Just try, in your mind, swapping Eliot and Silda's faces in this week's most famous photograph. Can't see it? Would the man be judged as less of a man for standing by his cheating wife?

Jong was incredulous that so many people felt it was their place to judge, opine, psychoanalyze or otherwise comment on a private marriage, as well as the decision of Silda Spitzer to stand by her man.

A lot of important things happened this week (Spitzer!). Bear Stearns needed a bailout from the Fed (Kristen!). Oil hit a record $111 a barrel (Emperor's Club VIP!). CentCom chief Adm. William Fallon resigned over differences with the White House on Iran and Iraq (Client #9!). Barack Obama won Mississippi ($5,500 an hour!). The Vatican released a list of "new sins," including cloning and pollution (he likes things "you might not think are safe"!). Provocative comments from Geraldine Ferraro and Rev. Jeremiah Wright roiled the Democratic race (She's got a MySpace page! With pictures!! And music!!!). Gen. Petraeus decried the Iraqi government's lack of "sufficient progress" (Poor Silda!). What, you missed all of that? I can't imagine why...

Spitzer is still in such deep denial of what he's done, he actually thinks showing his shaken wife might salvage his career.

Will Ashley Dupré become a star? Well, really, what other option does she have -- this is on her permanent record, and she'll never, ever escape it. Her only option is to use it, and so far she's in a pretty good position to do so.
