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.”

“Now, how does one wind up with a $400 credit from a hooker?”

Failure to launch with a guarantee?

[gridlock]

Remember how we passed the hat a few years back to tip Trish, Hillary’s waitress?

Let’s not do that in this case... OK?

[RDTF]

it’s all over the document!

[mware]

Brit Hume is saying Spitzer is done, over.

[SE Mom]

Brit just said “ Elliot Spitzer is over”

[RDTF]

he is even quoted as saying something like ‘yup, like last time’

[metmom]

Do you really need that? The absence of the designation alone tells you enough.

It’ll be Peterson until baby Cuomo takes over.

It’ll be Peterson until baby Cuomo takes over.

Andy will find a way.

It's not over until Obama explains the "Sermon on the Mount" rationale for pay-as-you-go metrosexuality.

Mmmmmmm.....yummy stuff. Love, love, love it.

ROFL!

Hillary hardly has any incredibility on the issue herself. She’s still using Bill in her Presidential campaign. Granted Bill didn’t pay Monica for her services, Monica gave them away for free. Is it really all about the money or how the money is delivered?

Bill was just as arrogant as Spitzer. Bill lied under oath and lost his license for five years. Spitzer will be lucky if he can keep his at all.

[calcowgirl]

on page 2 (27) of the smoking gun document, client #9 mentions he has a $400 credit. He was a regular.

A regular... with a reputation (see page 30)

Brit Hume on Foxnews said Spitzer is done. He described the details to come out in trial as “lurid” and “devastating.”

Brit Hume said, “Elliot Spitzer is over.”

...but Spitzer transported her across State lines. He broke a Law. He’s gone.

[RDTF]

lol - I know

[prairiebreeze]

Hillary was given a heads up by the press I’d wager. Gave them time to start scrubbing all refernces to Spitz

[marajade]

Yeah Monica worked for Bill in the Office of the Presidency as an intern.

[pissant]

Hand him a gun. He should use it.

No, State Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno, who is next in line to fill the about-to-be-vacated Lt. Gov. position, is a Republican.
