I don’t believe we should throw stones at Ashley Dupree, but why on Earth is she possibly getting her own MTV show (“Eliot Gal Hooking a Deal,” July 9)?

I will not watch this show, for the same reason I don’t gawk at traffic accidents.

Even though Gov. Paterson is wonderful, why did his predecessor have to lose his job, while his call girl gets promoted?

I thought that a law degree and a couple decades of public service meant more than sleeping with the wrong people, but I forgot which country I live in.
