There are many who have been practically wetting their pants with anticipation for Diane Sawyer’s interview with former New York governor Eliot Spitzer’s hooker, Ashley Dupre. The call girl, who very originally referred to herself by the moniker “Kristen,” is best known for her stint with the Emperor’s Club, the prostitution ring that arranged for her to hit it raw with the mayor.

During the interview, Dupre did her best to distance herself from culpability, saying, “If it wasn’t me, it would have been someone else. I was doing my job.” That’s all well and good, but when she refers to her job, she necessarily is referring to the kind of job preceded by “blow,” so saying that sort of thing doesn’t really improve her public image. Someone call a PR agent! Pronto!

Dupre did her best at the difficult job of portraying herself as the wide-eyed girl-next-door in the big city, unaware of the gravity of her actions because of her youthful naivete. She told Sawyer that she didn’t know at the time that she was having sex with the governor, saying, “I turned on the TV and said, ‘Oh shit. What did I get myself involved in?’ And I felt like everything slowed down and it was just the TV and I. I was shocked. That’s when I found out what I was involved in. I didn’t know the depth to my situation. That’s when I found out who it was… I was 22-years-old, I wasn’t reading the papers. I was so involved in my life… I didn’t know who he was” Okay, right, because 22-year-olds don’t read the newspaper. Or watch television. Either Dupre is pretty dumb, pretty disconnected from the world, or pretty much lying through her pretty little teeth.

Possibly the worst part of the interview was when Dupre dared to tell Sawyer of how “connected” she felt to Spitzer’s wife Silda when she saw her on television: "I felt connected to her. I didn't feel connected to him. Her pain. And I just saw the pain in her eyes." This audacious statement was indicative of Dupre’s deluded self image. She actually doesn’t seem to realize that despite all the flashing cameras and telephone calls for interviews, it’s not because they think she’s the next up and coming popstar but because Spitzer up and came on her. Even when Sawyer asked Dupre why she refused to call herself what she was— a prostitute— the illiterate Jersey girl insisted upon playing semantics, correcting Sawyer by interjecting, “Escort.”

Whatever your feelings on Dupre or Spitzer, the interview is worth watching, if only to see poor Diane Sawyer trying to control her facial muscles while Dupre made ludicrous statements.
