Eliot Spitzer's Penchant For Call Girls Prompts ABC To Air Prostitution Special

This Friday, ABC's 20/20 will be airing a 2 hour prostitution special titled On Prostitution in America: Working Girls Speak. In the works for 2 years, the special was initially scheduled to air in May or June, but former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer's resignation in light of revelations he enjoyed the services of high-priced call girls. Obviously a ploy by ABC to use Spitzer to gain ratings, the network hurriedly set up interviews with top-dollar hookers to supplement a visit to a legal brothel in Nevada and a slew of interviews with street-walking types. Surprising the network said that the special is meant to be a serious look at the issue rather an attempt to be salacious. Yeah, okay.
