ALBANY - Gov. Eliot Spitzer has been caught on a federal wiretap arranging to meet with a high-priced prostitute at a Washington hotel last month, according to a person briefed on the federal investigation.

An affidavit in the federal investigation into a prostitution ring said that a wiretap recording captured a man identified as Client 9 on a telephone call confirming plans to have a woman travel from New York to Washington, where he had reserved a hotel room. The person briefed on the case identified Mr. Spitzer as Client 9.

Mr. Spitzer today made a brief public appearance during which he apologized for his behavior, and described it as a “private matter.”

“I have acted in a way that violates my obligation to my family and violates my or any sense of right or wrong,” said Mr. Spitzer, who appeared with his wife Silda at his Manhattan office. “I apologize first and most importantly to my family. I apologize to the public to whom I promised better.”

The first thing I thought of was this recorded event happened on Feb 13 - until after midnight on Feb 14, Valentine’s Day. I am sure his wife is reliving their Valentine’s day right now.

bigtime money-laundering, IRS, and bank fraud are on the table.

Alas, cut to the chase.

He's a Democrat politician lacking of scruples and common sense.

Breaking it down anymore is nothing but a promotion of attorneys and future democrat politicians.

Carville just said,”people do a lot of things illegal”.

Carville ought to know, he worked/works for the Clintons.

Spitzer----who had money going to (shocker) a hooker ring.

But... that money went for consulting! Really... it says it right there in the company name: "QAT Consulting, Inc."

I’m watching Carville now on CNN. He’s saying Spitzer shouldn’t resign over a couple ov visits to a prostitute. I hate Mary Matlin for staying with the pig.

“However, bigtime money-laundering, IRS, and bank fraud are on the table.”

We need to pray that this brave rat doesn’t get waterboarded, sent to Gitmo or has to wear the panties of a whore on his head.

Somehow I don’t think Dick Morris will be asked to comment even though he is an expert on the subject.

the VRWC at work!

It appears that all it takes is for the VRWC to sit on their collective duff's and let nature take it's course.

Since he works for Clinton he needs to get Obama on something good in order to switch topics. This Rezco scam just ain't panning out for Clinton.

Carville has been known to get drunk at local bars/restaurants (won’t mention any names) and to arrogantly and obnoxiously harrass the patrons saying “don’t you know who I am?” LOL.

BTW, Mary wasn’t with him at the time.

Carville is SUCH a tool! Bank fraud, money laundering, interstate finance and illegal act violations....yeah, all political (rolling eyes!)

Although, one does have to wonder if Obama isn’t getting some benefit out of this. But I don’t think even the Daley mafia has enough clout to try and hurt Hillary using these means.

I know! It’s that magnificent bastard KARL ROVE!!!!!!!!!!!
