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 said the exact same thing tonight on LKL. You know these are the DEM talking points we will hear for the next few weeks.

After all, their idol, high priest, and role model is Sinkmeister Clinton.

This is a funny paragraph from a WaPo article by Dana Milbank on the matter:

Thrice in his brief statement, Spitzer spoke of his affection for his home state: his desire to “bring real change to New York,” to “rebuild New York” and to do “what is best for the state of New York.” Even in scandal, he sought to patronize New York products, working with a New York company to have Kristen exported.

New York Governor Elliot “Limo-ted” Spitzer traveled to Washington DC on the New York state taxpayer’s dime to appear at federal hearings

He scheduled his $5,000/hour hooker to travel to DC to meet him there

Found this doing a search:

“Eliot Spitzer Excuses” (To air this evening … )

10. “Oh come on, like you were never involved in a prostitution ring.”

9. “Hookers is fun.”

8. “Just trying to help the economy.”

7. “Have you ever been to Albany?”

6. “It’s part of my new MTV prank show, ‘Spitz’d.’”

5. “Haven’t been myself since Roy Scheider died.”

4. “Uh, tainted beef?”

3. “Whether it’s a hooker or your wife, you’re always paying for it – you married fellas know what I’m talking about.”

2. “Wanted to be known as the Charlie Sheen of politics.”

1. “I thought Bill Clinton legalized this years ago.”

LOL. I guess the extra $4699 is to get her to wear a bag over her head.

You should get your roof shingled and your house painted and the plumbing cleaned at those prices.
