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.”

Mr. Fornicating liberal Democrat. I promise I will work on that one. Give me a week. I detest Spitzer and his ilk.

We disagree I'm sure about the idea of Government criminalizing the exchange of sex for money among consenting adults. To me, it's patently absurd on it's face. But in Spitzer's case, I'll make an exception. I say throw the book at him. Schadenfreude is certainly not a virtue. I'm ashamed of myself for taking pleasure in seeing this hypocritical leftist jackass get his comeuppance.

He was willing to pay big $$$ for it, whatever it is...and, it isn’t likely something that his wife would consider safe or normal, considering the conversation about it.

Probably some kind of sado-masochism. He looks like the type.

I love how they’re whining about leaks. About the only time they’ve cared about leaks from gov’t.

Sure. Everybody transfers cash across interstate lines about sex! Those FBI wiretaps were just as bad as Linda Tripp.

You know, for $4400 she’d better cook dinner and wash my truck on top of her usual duties.

The difference between a political “whore” and a real prostitute is that what the latter sells is hers.

Its after midnight and it's taken me hours to get through all the posts on this thread.

Took nearly 700 post before Joe Bruno's name got mentioned. He's having a pleasant evening.

Aroune 11, Andrson Cooper started a Spitzer rally. (As a follow up to Carvilles earlier comments.) First he had on noted Clinton ass licker Alan Dershowitz. Doucheowitz said no big deal - no normal person would be charged - 2nd class misdemeanor at best.

Of course,"normal people" are not as likely to be blackmailed or pressured by organized crime.

Then he had some apologist comparing it to a guy having a hard day at work needing a little "hug".

Following the Clinton playbook. - Non-denial denial - some deep navel gazing - maybe they could bring back the "ministers" that counseled Clinton. They might have to bring in a sub for Jesse as it might be pointed out that he was banging some broad on the side while he was counseling Clinton about banging broads on the side.

Oh well, I'm sure the MSM will be in full cover up mode tomorrow. - Old news by Thursday = lets "move on".

This all makes me long for a simpler time, when a romp in the Tidal Basin with an Argentine Firecracker did not cost $5500.

It should make him an ex governor this afternoon!

Also an ex-husband soon enough.
