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.”

Excerpt

[GOPJ]

Mr. Spitzer, a first term Democrat who pledged to bring ethics reform an end the often seamy ways of Albany, is married with three children.

Here's the rational the MSM will use NOT to give wide coverage to this story. They'll say dems never make a pretense of being moral, so what they do doesn't count.

SO PLEASE, NEW YORK TIMES, get us some quotes from all or some dem office holders AND THEIR WIVES who say martial fidelity doesn't matter. Put these elusive dems on the record.

He may, but I am feeling some flashbacks of McGreevey! He left office, but they made him a hero.

Hey, was Spitzer a ‘back door buddy’ with that NJ Governor McGreevey? LOL!

Short of the Times posting that they caught the Pope in bed with a woman, I doubt anything could have shocked me more today.

[Sub-Driver]

"He was just getting in touch with the Democrat voters."

[dforest]

You gotta love the “ethics” of the democraps.

Maybe he meant “antics”?

This is too funny.

[Petronski]

I have to pay for it.

[hometoroost]

"Involved in a prostitution ring? Was he a hooker?”

His street name is Elliot Pimpzher.

[taildragger]

How close is this place to Chappaqua and or Harlem, and did he take Slick with him?

Maybe If he did this in Mayor Nagin's newly Va**na friendly city, it wouldn't be an issue....

[Jeff Head]

I successfully prosecuted prostitution in the past because I knew prostitution so very well!
