**********************EXCERPT**************************
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.
The wiretap recording, made during an investigation of a prostitution ring called Emperors Club VIP, 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 room. The person briefed on the case identified Mr. Spitzer as Client 9.
The governor learned that he had been implicated in the prostitution probe when a federal official contacted his staff last Friday, according to the person briefed on the case.

Hope this wan't a FISA involved wiretap with no judges approval....
Sooooo...will he use an illegal driver’s license to getouttatown?
But did he tap his foot in a public john, send dirty IMs, or use obscure primate slurs? THOSE would be real scandals. [/s]
For those not in New York consider this, BOTH Republicans AND Democrats in elected office in Albany hate spitzer. The ratmedia will try to smother this and i hope they do because the longer it takes for this to be over, the better. Our Lt. Gov. is a physically repulsive looking blind Black man who will do Barack McGovern Obama no good at all as they travel NYS campaigning. This will also save the NYS Senate for the GOP and thew citizens of NYS.
Finally, the best part: This piece of shiite was just about to ram through a bill that would make it illegal for a Catholic hospital to turn away abortion seekers. True facts!!!!!!!!!
spitzer would have been better off if he was gay and got caught in Bar-nay Frank’s house doing the horrizontal mombo with a teenaged boy.
“We sought to bring real change to New York.”
This is what “change” looks like from Democrats.
Nothing to see here, please move on to the Republican Culture of Corruption. ONLY REPUBLICANS are capable of CORRUPTION, that is what Nancy P. tells me so it must be so.

Just like the clintons, the writing was on the wall...

How quickly the media “forgets” (whitewashes).

His performance and rating have been subpar (and that’s being generous)
One of Spitzer’s key campaign pledges was to reform the state budget process. While the state did pass a budget on schedule in 2007, the ultimate results fell short of what many reformers hoped Spitzer would achieve. Newscorp’s The New York Post opined, “Spitzer promised reform, and delivered something completely different” and termed the budget itself “bitterly disappointing.”[30]
Spitzer’s budget quickly turned into a deficit, as by the end of October it was projected the state would run a deficit exceeding $4 billion for the year. During Spitzer’s first year the state payroll increased, aggravating budget problem.[31] Despite increasing the public sector payroll, in late 2007 New York State started leading the nation in lost jobs

Spitzer proposed a bill that would give illegals licenses.
A 57-page report issued by the Attorney General’s office concluded that Spitzer engaged in creating media coverage concerning Senator Bruno’s travel before any Freedom of Information Law request was made.
The report criticized Spitzer’s office for using State Police resources to gather information about Bruno’s travel and releasing the information to the media
Douglas Muzzio, a Baruch College political scientist, commented that “The Watergate analogy is inescapable.” and now with the latest round, he has become another Clinton.
Before his latest scandal, his approval rating was as low as Bush’s.

In sum, like Bill Clinton, ES is a corrupt, hypocritical, vengeful, power hungry animal who will say and do anything. He’s the embodiement of at least a controlling portion of the Democratic party. Something the party tries to project onto Republicans with the aid of the “media.”
The full story won’t be reported because the media is useless.”
His peckerdillos don’t get the same treatment from the FBI as Klintons did do they? Actually the FBI’s wiretap eqipment had been out of service since 1993,the 1st year of Klinton’s term. Just got it fixed too. hic
PICS???
