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

Doing what, though? Teaching them how to be doormats? How to stick with a degenerate for power and money? If that's the case, I hope her girls flunk those life lessons from Mommy Dearest.

I figured it would be nice to have the text at FR, before it disappears from the blogosphere.

FYI, I just realized that the source was the Tribune. If anyone wants to read other parts of the criminal complaint, the whole thing is available here (Not sure why the URL says “redacted”):

Funny, I seem to recall a lot of details coming out in the Duke Lacrosse team investigation - and it wasn’t even an indictment yet.

Some cynics say Attorney General Spitzer was running a protection racket and would call Spitzer an “extortionist.” He would threaten a corporation with a lawsuit.....The lawsuits would cost them millions in legal fees and damage control....so they paid up to “appease the Spitzer beast” figuting a "settlement" would make him go away.

Course every corporate payoff makes the beast stronger and his appetite bigger. He then threatens their neighbor, and then the next neighbor - until the entire block on Wall Street is paying ransom, and then the next block, and so on.

Spitz learned the protection racket from Unions who had learned it from the Sicilian Mafia.

Giuliani used the same scam.......and earned enough under the table to get himself into the Mayor's office.

FNC reporting that Spitzer used the name of a friend and donor, George Fox (sp?) for some of the arrangements.

Just reported that Spitzer did not use his name but a prominent democratic donor named (I think) James Fox.

Ah James Fox is going to love that.

We’re all counting on you for the next DUmmie FUnnies.

I just sent Charles my song parody idea on this scandal. Will feature it bigtime if/when he finishes it. The parody on this one sort of screamed out at me.

Carville is REALLY downplaying...he’s basically saying it’s political...”who is pushing...leaking...the story...”

Hmmmm...What if down the road we find Barak Obama is Customer #10?

That would answer your question.

Well, maybe now he’ll hold a press conference and finally endorse her.

That would be fun to watch.
