[history]
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.

Couldnt have happened to a more sanctimonious, hypocritical, egomaniacal jerk. I wouldn't mind seeing the "Teflon kid" following in Spitzers footsteps ONCE AND FOR ALL, however.

Mark Brener, the apparent “mastermind” of the prostitution ring, was also denied bail as he was deemed to be a flight risk. Something about an Israeli passport.

Where did FRIEND GRETA get this paperwork?
She says he has serious problems..not an indictment, a federal criminal complaint which could BLOSSOM into an indictment.
She says she doesn't KNOW if he is in fact, client number 9.
I don't hear him stepping down either??? Just an apology and need to spend time with family..

He has to resign. You cannot stay in office when you prosecuted people for something youre getting away with. Very sordid stories coming out.....even worse than one could imagine. Guy is a slimeball.
Broke several laws---as a lawmaker, a lawyer, and a former prosecutor---this is inexcusable.
