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.”

It's part of a "Buy American" campaign he's promoting.

Do remember any of my numerous caustic replies regarding this scourelous bastard during his coercive campaign fund sucking way to the Governorship?

Even I wasn't completely sure how correct I was about this lame-ast, lumb-jawed loser!!!

$108.12 at the moment. Oy.

On the bright side, the cost of high-class hookers is down to 50.86 bbl!

Matthews on PMSNBC, referring to how much the hooker charged: Spitzer's certainly doing what he can to help the economy...

$1563.63 per hour then

(approximately)

Evidently Spitz didn’t feel the need for the high-end girls. Maybe they were just too high for his budget.

Wouldn’t it be something to find out that taxpayer dollars were directly used for to pay for services...

Translates into $1323.08 per hour.

And to think that some of use can actually make that much by working our tails off and not being able to spend it in such a way (less taxes) because we are too tired after earning it.

Blondette on FoxSnooze is hopefully asking Judge Napalitano if there is any evidence this was a set up.

“Operations like this were ripe for espionage either through the ring leaders or “workers” acting as spies over the centuries.”

I wonder in what context the FBI was investigating this ring. Was it part of an organized crime probe or was the FBI investigating money laundering/transfers as part of a counter terrorism operation and they turned up a “Big Fish”?
