The race for CitizenSugar readers' favorite political scandal was scandalously close, but NY Gov. Eliot Spitzer's fall from power after sleeping with a call girl beat out Sarah Palin's teen daughter's pregnancy by a score of 34 percent of votes to 32 percent.

Former sheriff of Wall Street Spitzer ended up facing zero federal crime charges related to his paid-for trysts with Ashley Dupré as Client No. 9, but his crimes of the heart did cost him his job as governor.

Eliot made the headlines again this week, after commenting on his life as an op-ed columnist. While at Slate's holiday party, which went down at a former massage parlor called "Happy Ending," Spitzer said about his new gig: "It sucks. I used to be governor of New York." Well now ex-Gov. Spitzer can add this Sugar Award to his resumé!

Ashley Dupre Says Some Women Act Like Escorts - Agree?

If you guys haven't been following the blog of Ashley Dupre, the high-end call girl who helped New York governor Eliot Spitzer fall from power, let me catch up you. This week, Ashley called out a variety of people, including "ladies, ladies, ladies" who "just love to judge." Ashely thinks that these women shouldn't be so quick to look down on her past as a prostitute, since many women in NYC act like high-end escorts anyway. Ashley says she sees the following all over New York City:

I know many women who target guys with money and use them to get these things. They toy with them, flirt, go on dates, have sex, and then drop hints about that new dress . . . or being short on rent money - and the guys deliver it.

Do you think Ashley's right on the money or is there's a clear line between prostitution and gold digging?
