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.”

Nobody worry about him. I see a new reality show in his future;

“Pimp My Governor.”

Perhaps VH-1 will carry it.

I’m sure it was cheaper for Rudy to keep a mistress on the taxpayer dime. He blew it by marrying her.

Right up there with “Marv Gets Pink Slip” for sports broadcaster Marv Albert. Or the “Whitman’s Squeaker” headline when the then-governor of NJ won by a small margin.

Yup!

This one has to be the best NY Post headline of all time.

Also, when the Senate failed to convict Bill BJ Clinton, the headline was Close But No Cigar

We've all watched this ruthless bastard ripping and tearing at corporate America as the relentless scourge of Wall Street...

Exactly. There is no second chance for this bastard. Time he learns to practice what he preaches.

Go do jail. Go directly to jail. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.

Number nine...number nine...

Maybe if you read his coming resignation speech backwards it'll say "turn me on dead man". In any case, Eliot is dead.

Cheers! I live in Gnu Yak and I think this is hilarious. F-n Steamroller. Putz. Punk. LOSER!

Assembly Minority Leader James Tedisco tells Alan Colmes that New Yorkers hearts were broken today. What??? They were doing cartwheels on Wall Street. I swear people were smiling on the subway heading home tonight (at least I was).
