- 'DC Madam' Guilty, Guilty, Guilty
  
  WTOP | Apr 15, 08 2:54 PM CDT

  BBC | Apr 9, 08 8:16 AM CDT
  
  (Newser) - Formula One president Max Mosley has lost his court battle to block a newspaper from hosting a video showing him cavorting with five prostitutes in a sadomasochistic scene with Nazi undertones.

  New York Times | Mar 21, 08 3:22 PM CDT
  
  (Newser) - The Justice Department's unusual pursuit of the Emperor's Club—and its most famous client—grew out of suspicions of corruption, not moral turpitude, department officials tell the New York Times.

  (Newser) - Fame (or infamy) is beginning to pay off for Eliot Spitzer "escort" Kristen: the aspiring R&B star has now scored $200,000 from downloads of her song—which the New York Post helpfully calculates is worth over four dozen Spitzer hookups.

  (Newser) - Although Eliot Spitzer’s political career is over, it remains unclear what legal fate awaits the disgraced New York governor, the Wall Street Journal reports.
