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.”
I wouldn’t doubt it.
Time is short. Always start with the chocolate.
LOL, Matthews said the only love he could get is the type we are talking about today.
on page 2 (27) of the smoking gun document, client #9 mentions he has a $400 credit. He was a regular.

I thought that was the hourly, not for a night. Besides, women chase me, not the other way around. LOL
Both of us my friend and Liz were all over this pos back then.
Now, how does one wind up with a $400 credit from a hooker?
What?? Does Mathspews know something about the Spitzer marraige that others don’t?
Seriously, was he sullying Mrs. Spitzer?
Ruh roh....
Rebecca Gomez on Fox Business’s “Happy Hour” says Spitzer should resign.
I remember — In fact, whenever I see the name Spitzer, I think of those posts. LOL.
Glad he could cheer up your day! ;-)
Wonder how many other pols are tied up in this situation.
It was for the commute and the hotel room and the deed. I think they said they spent a couple of hours together.
...use the extra $400 for a tip (not).
No, he was sullying spitzer. They were commenting on how much he is hated by wall street, Albany, etc.
sooo Rich!
If that's true, it makes Judge Napalitano and Blondette's assurrances that there is so far no evidence of repeat behavior and only one prostitution episode by Spitzer, rather poor reporting, eh?
Early finisher?

Clinton Yanks Spitzer Endorsement Faster Than A Hooker Yanks... Well, You Get It
Depending on who you’re talking to in Albany and Washington this afternoon, Eliot Spitzer has either already resigned and slinked away to a fortified bunker in the Poconos, or he is going to spend a few days talking with his wife, children, and senior staffers, and then resign and slink away to a fortified bunker in the Poconos.
Either way, Hillary Clinton has already delivered the first of many “You’re dead to me, Eliot”-moments, sponging her campaign website clean of all mentions of Spitzer’s endorsement last May. Spitzer’s name was gone from the website less than an hour after the Times story broke—impressive timing when you consider it took Mitt Romney nearly an entire day to decide to throw Larry Craig under a bus last August.
I guess once he paid for something he didn’t get?
