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 will be interesting to see if this story gets more print in the NYTimes and other newspapers than Sen. Craigs story did. There is a big difference between soliciting sex in a stall and actually running the whorehouse!
I imagine Spitter will be quickly ousted and the story swept under the rug. We wont be reading about him on the front page 3 months from now like we were with Larry Craig.
What goes on between consenting adults behind closed doors is none of our business.
But laws were broken....move on, I said, it is ONLY about SEX!!
This only means that he has more management experience than Hillary or Obama.
Knowing Spitzer, it’s more likely he was the guy running the show.
Award driver’s licenses? Makes it sound like a lotto! Oh, yeah, it is.
Como se llama "How much am I bid?" en Espanol?
the dems in Albany HATE him.......he is done. he has had an active feud going with the power dems in the state......this is not good for him.
"Clients" looked at pages like this to see what girl they wanted.
Oh, Elliot. You dirty boy.
POST OF THE DAY!!
Maybe he’ll resign to spend more time with his family. You think?
>>If it was a male prostitution ring all he has to do is have a press conference with his crying wife at his side, proclaim hes gay and then the media will forget it.<<
It looks like they provided introductions to models and investment advice.

Another “Downlow” like his New Jersey butt buddy?
Hookers all over are embarrassed and feel sleazy about their linkage to New York Politics.
The guy was probably losing money...
I used to live on Cape Cod - remember Gerry/Garry Studds?
So, how is he going to spin this? Lessee - McGreevy seemed to do OK with his "I am a gay American" whine (at least it kept him out of jail), so maybe Spitzer can try to get away with "I admit that I am an unhappy American"...
There goes one of Hillary’s superdelegates! Poetic justice!
Heh, heh, heh. No one deserves it more than this scumsucker.
The Dow will be up 200 points on this...
...and Bill Clinton was where during all of this?
