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.”

“Carville just said,”people do a lot of things illegal”.

Carville should know after decades of being the pimp and whore for the Clintoons.

It’ll be Peterson until baby Cuomo takes over.

If I was Peterson, I'd hire a food taster until I'm out of office.

I just saw the newsclip of his statement with his poor wife at his side - she looked like she had been crying and just holding it together.....

She should dump him

I know because Andrew really, really wants to be governor.

[JewishRighter]

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

BTW, just to back you up, the complaint says it was Spitzer's idea to use a $400 credit he had with the agency to pay her transportation costs, which they agreed to. So his fingerprints are all over the transportation rap, incl. conspiracy as well as the crime itself.

[Political Junkie Too]

how does one wind up with a $400 credit from a hooker?

Apparently, Spitzer maintains an account with a prepayment. The "credit" must be the remaining balance on the account? Was he trying to finagle a "quickie" with his remaining ammount on deposit?

Now, Grampa, Spitzer made his bones, in part, busting prostitution rings in New York, so he ought to know about them. Besides, does this man look like he needs to hire prostitutes?

Good Lord..

You just hear Tammy Bruce???

Commenting on Spitzer and enjoying unsafe sex, there is an up side. If he goes to jail, he can have all the unsafe sex he wants.

I think the feds are letting him get out before they start opening up the indictments.

[Fishtalk]

Are you talking about Chris Matthews?

Where are you seeing him?

[SE Mom]

He was going nuts on MSNBC about 20 minutes ago.

[Fishtalk]

I agree but I imagine she’s doing it for her daughters.

Although they’d have to drug me first.

True, but ol' Troopergate will never do any time in the slammer. Hevesi didn't.
