Spitzer allegedly used the name of a campaign donor as an alias during his alleged tryst, The New York Times is reporting.
“The affidavit says that Client 9 met with the woman in hotel room 871 but does not identify the hotel. Mr. Spitzer stayed at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington on Feb. 13, according to a source who was told of his travel arrangements. Room 871 at the Mayflower Hotel that evening was registered under the name George Fox.
“The law enforcement official said that several people running the prostitution ring knew Mr. Spitzer by the name of George Fox, though a few of the prostitutes came to realize he was the governor of New York.
“Mr. Fox is a friend and donor to Mr. Spitzer. Asked in a telephone interview Monday whether he accompanied Mr. Spitzer to Washington on Feb. 13 and Feb. 14, Mr. Fox responded: “Why would you think that? I did not.”
“Told that the Room 871 at the Renaissance Mayflower Hotel was registered in Mr. Fox’s name but with Mr. Spitzer’s Fifth Avenue address, Mr. Fox said, “That is the first I have heard of it. Until I speak to the governor further, I have no comment.”
I guess John Smith was too hard to remember.
Oh that Spitzer. Sly as a Fox.
Just shows you the kind of guy he is.
And this is how a ‘Rat pays you back.
Whore Hay Fox
Yeah..you keep some spare business cards around for those bar girls.
So you can register at the Mayflower with an assumed name and cash? Most good hotels don’t allow you to do that..but then it is DC and they need to adapt the crimnal culture there.
Unless..they knew who he was..there is another story for an enterprising report who wants to get fired.
If you are going to use a buddy’s name instead of your own, one would think you would ask the buddy first and get him to cover for you.
Are we sure that is what Spitzer is signaling the size of? At $4000 plus dollars to pay for sex, me thinks it might be something else he is measuring.
Dirty Harry used the name “Larry Dickman” in the movie “The Enforcer” when gaining access to a massage parlor.
I understand that Barney Frank’s house accommodates people in need of housing for sex.
$2K per inch.
He's got a real imagination, that guy.
If that was an intentional pun, it was brilliant. George Fox is also the name of the founder of the Society of Friends, better known as the Quakers.
Well I suppose the Governor was embarrassing his loyal donor, because he could not have been thinking of THIS George Fox unless he has a very warped sense of humor:
“The great secret of [George] Fox’s power was his faith in God. He started with scarcely any advantages, but soon he influenced the whole world for God. His one desire was the extension of Christ’s kingdom on earth. Through his influence England, Ireland, and Scotland were soon ablaze. In 1661 several of his followers were moved to go beyond the seas to publish truth in foreign countries.”

Dats a lot of money per inch, Mr Fox. Please come again.

Ok, you gave me the lead-in for one more post:
There once was a Govn’r named Spitzer,
Who couldn’t control his own spritzer.
He used his account for Kristen to mount,
Got caught and it’s too late to diss her.
