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.
Just curious-—wonder what he got for $5K? (/s)
Legally Blind.
Clintons blackmailing them, outed him as an object lesson to the rest of them
Well, I’m a year behind. March 5, 2007.
I wonder who else in NY goes to this club? Will all names be given out? They outed the gov., who else hangs out with these babes? Who owns this joint?
Well, resigning is a good start!
they model on your spoke??
No.
I dislike hypocrites.
Do you think that accusing someone of pointing out rank hypocrisy makes one a Democrat?
At one time, that would have been a trait any conservative would be proud to own to. Now, apparently, not so much.
I would be surprised. My understanding is that he has no need to pay.
Wow, Wikipedia already has something up about it - though just a brief placeholder saying it is a “current event”
Involvement in a prostitution ring
This section documents a current event. Information may change rapidly as the event progresses.
On March 10, 2008, Spitzer’s cell phone records linked him as a client to the Emperor’s Room, a “high-class” prostitution ring operating out of Washington, D.C.[95] Spitzer was scheduled to address the public at 2:15 pm EST on the 10th. As of 3:00 pm, Spitzer has yet to speak.

Is that the line of succession???
What a creep. Hope they have naked video of his scum-bag a$$.
I don’t know how gleeful to be about this. This service was very high end and operated in Washington among several cities. A high powered Republican could easily end up on their client list.
Still is funny
CNN reporting that he did not resign. FNC reporting that he did resign.
Don’t know what to make of it.
