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.”

Now they are saying indictment.

Fox now saying he's been indicted!

[pissant]

Let’s hope he kept one of those NY confiscated firearms to relieve the world of his presence.

[John W]

Good grief, maybe he’ll be convicted by the time I go home. Karma, baby.

[Enchante]

Apparently he comes from a wealthy family so money may not have been a problem when he wanted “high class” (sic) hookers at $5,000 a throw.

[Petronski]

Now he’s indicted?

Looks like the Old Grey Whore sat on the story until the last possible moment.

[calcowgirl]

How can he afford $5K an hour on a civil servant’s salary?

Obama paid for it.

[CDHart]

What is wrong with these politicians? They posture and preen and pretend to have integrity, and then they do something so dumb that it boggles the mind. What was he thinking?

[Larry Lucido]

Bigggg supporter and super delegate, but I thought he played “the wiz” on Seinfeld?
