So, did you notice the weight of the Eliot Spitzer’s prostitute? I didn’t and I was wondering if anyone else noticed and was incredulous:
New York Governor Eliot Spitzer built his reputation as the state’s crusading public attorney fighting corruption and insider trading. When last week he had to resign, after being linked to a prostitution ring, traders on Wall Street finally had something to cheer about.
It was alleged he spent $80,000 over a 10-year period on hookers. But the morality of public servants and the hypocrisy of high office, the fact that he wanted “unsafe” sex – this wasn’t what people were talking about. Most of the focus was on “Kristen”, the prostitute he met at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington DC and booked for $1,000 an hour. She was described as, “American, petite, very pretty, brunette, 5 feet 5 inches, and 105 pounds”.
My female friends in New York were outraged. “105 pounds? No way.”
This was the biggest grievance. Not that she was a hooker. Or even that she was from New Jersey. The fact that somewhere along the line she had claimed to weigh 105 lbs and now it was being printed as fact. “Come on!” My friend Heather fumed. “No one weighs that unless they’re 12.”
BTW, at my thinnest I was ten pounds heavier than that and I’m two inches shorter

At that age, that height and weight is not uncommon.

I noticed … and I found it absolutely b-e-l-i-e-v-a-b-l-e.
In college, my coach told me that my ideal racing weight was 115 (for 5′ 7-3/4″) but whenever I approached that, I’d come down with a cold. So, yeah, I don’t ever remember weighing less than 121.

Now if only the news interviewers can entice her into a chair with some force transducers to clandestinely measure her true weight …
