I read it was $4300 and that some of that went toward a credit for future services.
In addition to the 4 hours of professional services he was seeking, he also had to pay for a train ticket, cab fare to and from the hotel, her travel time and use of the mini-bar-- basically, hooker per diem. Not sure if the 4 hours included the time she was paid for travel, or if that was all for the "date".
What I always wonder is why the hell the wife goes and stands next to the podium. I understand the political importance, but I'd be hard-pressed to stand up there and look the appropriate combination of disheartened yet supportive.
Just once, I'd love to see one of these guys stand up there alone and say how sorry he is for embarrassing and his family and that they they are at home privately dealing with this.
