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.”

Spitzer wired money across state lines.

How much money?

Probably Russian. They’re big in the prostitution biz - particularly through their NYC mob connections - which Spitzer certainly should have known about. I wouldn’t be surprised if this turned up in an investigation of the Russian mob.

Bless her heart, she looks as though she may have taken something. She is a very attractive woman - reminds me of Jennifer Aniston in that picture.

Was this leaked on a Monday to be the top story for the rest of the week, to hide hillarys patchetic campaign? i.e. clinton knew about this a year ago....

re: "worth the shame his daughters and wife are suffering"

Don't know that such narcissistic egomaniacs would have bothered to think about anyone else.

There’s a BIG difference between “expected to” and “will”.

I don’t see a time stamp on that piece- I wonder if that’s based on earlier speculation..or if he IS resigning..

"More aphrodisiac?"

Could be... I think it was his "special needs" for kinky desires that may have gone beyond regular sex... Way, WAY BEYOND!!! Ha Ha Ha!!!

I can't help it! I just love it when creepy hipocrites get their comeuppance!!! Ha Ha Ha!!!

His marriage should be over.

Half of his money should be over.

True. “Regular Sex” would not be worth this.

What did she do that is worth this much...?

What is with these wimpy women standing by their man? It is disgusting. Same with Craig and his wife and McCain and his wife who actually had to stifle her laughter. If Spitzer had been my husband, I would have been tempted to clobber him.
