There are two iconic Washington hotels, swank palaces so famous that their very names have come to define the two main activities of our political elite: corruption and whoring. The first, of course, is the Watergate. The second is the Mayflower, which was named for the famous pimpette Sydney Biddle Barrows, the “Mayflower Madam.” It’s a little pricey even by D.C. lodging standards, so if you’re a regular there, you’re probably a regular user of $4,300 hookers — according to the liberal New York Times.

Tired of Ashley Kristen Alexandra Dupre yet? Us too! But not US Magazine! The celebrity weekly has about a thousand pictures of Eliot Spitzer’s allegedly high-class hooker, and they’re all about as bad as this one, and we think the official title of this set is “The Official Seal of the Great State of New Jersey.” Remember that picture of a pretty young Ashley/Kristen in a bikini on a yacht? That was apparently taken in 1978. [US Magazine]

LARRY KING IS STILL INSANE: The excitable senior covers Kristen-Ashley by jabbering, “How does the escort feel, Kathleen? And, apparently, it’s going to get, if the term is right, more huge.” [Extreme Mortman]

As expected by everyone, Ashley Alexander Kristen Dupre has already done a mostly-naked photo shoot, for the NEW YORK POST, which seriously has like a dozen EXCLUSIVE pics of the superstar hooker.

There’s a “happy ending” to this story after all! Ashley Alexandra Dupre has the No. 1 song on Amie Street, which is the digital-download thing where she posts her songs, for sale. And today, Ashley/Kristen has the No. 1 and No. 7 top songs on the weekly chart. Help Ashely/Kristen make more money than she could ever make with that creep Spitzer! The music is pretty horrific, but who knows, maybe it’s the kind of thing you like, if you’re 12. Plus, it’s for kind of a good cause. And maybe it will teach the kids about politics!
