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. Craig’s 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 won’t be reading about him on the front page 3 months from now like we were with Larry Craig.

They'll be even more supportive of him. After all, he was just helping those that couldn't get legit jobs because of Bush. In other words, yeah, it's Bush's fault.

Move on....it is his PERSONAL LIFE!

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!!

Knowing Spitzer, it’s more likely he was the guy running the show.

The prostitution ring was called "Emperor’s Club V.I.P."

"Clients" looked at pages like this to see what girl they wanted.

Oh, Elliot. You dirty boy.

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 he’s gay and then the media will forget it.<<

It looks like they provided introductions to models and investment advice.

Hookers all over are embarrassed and feel sleazy about their linkage to New York Politics.

This bit of wonderful news could not happen to a more deserving, uh, Democrat criminal...

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"...
