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.”

Rule #1 in Life:

Don’t have huge amounts of mysterious cash payments flowing interstate hither and yon from your financial accounts. The Feds pick up on this immediately, and you suddenly have a giant bullseye painted on your backside for the non-tender mercies of the FBI and IRS.

Spitzer is going to be living from this point forwsrd in a World of Pain. I actually feel sorry for the fool.

“You know, for $4400 she’d better cook dinner and wash my truck on top of her usual duties.”

For that kind of money, one wonders if she spitzered or swallowed.

Yeah, maybe it wouldn’t be an exercise that’s all that uplifting. After all, it’s something we are all guilty of, whether in practice or just in the imagination. Suggestion withdrawn.

What would be the corker though is that he remains in office and the Legislature has to impeach....

First he had on noted Clinton ass licker Alan Dershowitz. Doucheowitz said no big deal - no normal person would be charged - 2nd class misdemeanor at best.

Of course, the Democrats are going to repeat this over and over and over so it sticks.

The difference is, I wonder if the Liberal Democrats would want a cop charged for prostitution related crimes. You bet your bippy they would!

So for Spitzer is cannot be "business as usual". This dirt bag was at one time in charge of sending people to prison. Now he's in a far more sensitive position. Who's to say Spitzer wasnt' compromised? Being blackmailed?

What did he giveaway in hope of making this go away?

This just gets funnier and funnier!

Even web nerds are poking fun at Spitzer!

Check out the text used to sell this item on sellout woot.

It's pretty witty and they found a great way to work their item into a breaking news story.

Elliot, or should I call you George, you have been out Foxed by yourself!
