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.”

Stone is a very moderate GOP consultant...he used to have BLEACHED BLONDE HAIR, that’s why I think he’s gay. He knew of this stuff last week...hmmmmmm.

[DGHoodini]

Yeah...but being birds of a feather..who knows if *his* indictment as another VIP card carrying member, isn’t coming in the next few days...and the next in succecion after *hum* is most definitely a Republican..a victim of Spitzers abusive attacks in office, in fact.

[mware]

Sorry about the misinformation. When they said he belonged to the minority party. I thought he was a Republican. Never would have thought that Republicans would be the majority party in NY.

[Cagey]

Hahahaha! He is indeed............

[calcowgirl]

But expensive whores is not as disturbing as old McGreevey hiring his concubine as head of Homeland Security.

Do you remember the articles about David Dreier's high paid aide? He's now one of the guys on the FEC commission that's been battling with McCain over public funding of elections. Washington is a cesspool.

R.Devil is correct.

I am always right but occasionally wrong.

[EGPWS]

Patterson is a Republican?!?

So?

Is he a Conservative is a reasonable question to ask.

I don’t know if it counts when the woman clearly transported herself voluntarily. IOW, just paying for train/plane fare probably isn’t covered under the law.
