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.”

My only question is, if it’s so freekin’ obvious, why do voters keep voting for these asshats?

It's called "FEED ME" syndrome.

What ever is best for ME, not what is best.

All that “not safe” means is that Spitzer wanted sex without condoms.

Oh damn, I wanted to see Neil Cavuto's face when he spoke of this.

He really dislikes Spitzers politics and thuggery

“Maybe Spitz will name names to get a deal with the feds——THAT could be interesting.”

Spittzy needs to be very careful now that he is out of power. Some of his whoring buddies and other criminals would kill their parents to stay out of jail. Probably some have done that.

A deballed politician like Spittzy has zero/power/clout to protect himself when their former supporters turn on them.

"Does anybody know if the Mann Act is still in effect?"

(Democratic) Congress in 1978 watered it down to "underage" transport across state lines, etc.

Three teenage daughters, no less. Wow. What a scumbucket.

As self-righteous, arrogant, condescending, and smug as Spitzer is, oh, does he have a long, long, LONG way to fall. And I’m gonna laugh, every inch of the way.

Spitzer is personally very wealthy. Can’t remember how, but his father is a big businessman worth multi millions.

Goldberg nails it here:

Prediction [Jonah Goldberg]

The words “therapy,” “sex addiction,” “Oprah,” and “redemption” are in Elliot Spitzer’s future.

Not safe could involve BDSM as well....and given Spitzer’s personality, that would not surprise me one iota.

He’s such a scuzzball.

I’m disappointed that his wife stood there with him, when she should have been back in Albany, packing his crap and leaving it out on the front lawn of the governor’s mansion!
