Eliot Spitzer's madam warned her employees that the then-governor of New York liked to do certain things that they "might not think were safe," which is why the girls apparently got combat pay to sleep with the governor (5K a pop). Dr. Laura chided Mrs. Spitzer for not giving Mr. Spitzer whatever it was he needed to keep him happy and in her bed, even without knowing what that those unsafe things were. (“When the wife does not focus in on the needs and the feelings—sexually, personally—to make him feel like a man, to make him feel like a success, to make him feel like her hero, he’s very susceptible to the charm of some other woman," said Dr. Laura. "What if he wanted to shit in his wife's mouth?" I asked Dr. Laura in a Slog post.

Well, we may know now what it was that Eliot was willing to pay for.

His political rivals used to accuse Eliot Spitzer of going for the jugular. Now a new call girl is claiming the former governor literally went for hers—claiming he wrapped his fingers around her neck during some kinky role-playing.

UPDATE: "Dan always seems to forget to mention political affiliation when the perverts are Democrats," says Rob in the comment thread. Hm. I didn't realize that sleeping with women made you a pervert in the eyes of the Republican faithful, but for the record: Spitzer was the Democratic governor of New York. And what was scandalous about his private sexual conduct was the hypocrisy—Spitzer had gone after prostitution rings and their clients as New York's attorney general—and not the genitalia.
