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 read this one and the first reaction is WTF!??

Maybe he'll resign but my image of this guy is as one of the most totally arrogant liberal politicians out there. So we'll see.

[Miss Didi]

Buh bye, Eliot!

Perhaps we'll get Governor Andrew Cuomo next. (rolling eyes)

Lt. Gov (Patterson) becomes governor in the event of the governor’s death, impeachment or resignation

[WildcatClan]

His problem isn’t being only a one term Governor. He may not be Governor tomorrow. Obama and Hillary will want him and this to go away as soon as possible.

[Clemenza]

Love a woman in black thigh highs. Photos put me in mind of a fantasy I have with Ann Hathaway...

Sorry, I thought this was Penthouse Forum for a second...

Liberal Zeitgeist: Hooker for President

I especially like the last line on the second link.

Our aim is to make your life more peaceful, balanced, beautiful and meaningful. We honor commitment to our clients as we covet long-term relationships of trust and mutual benefit. Experience for yourself the obvious distinction…

Possibly Clinton leaked this to get Hillary another job to gain executive experience, now this time around at the big house is failing? Just a thought.

[Stentor]

Thats OK. Prostitution ring is nothing...Now tapping your foot in a bathroom, now thats news!

Rush just quoted you without attribution.

[normy]

oooh I wonder if they have clientele lists? Good point.

[phillyfanatic]

Doesn’t matter. Fornicating liberal Dems are honored. Only Pubs are jailed. Only Pubs resigned. Spitzer will win in a landslide in his next election. The media will make this an addiction to sex or just a dysfunctional upbringing.

[Pharmboy]

He's dead, Jim.

[Red in Blue PA]

[JohnLongIsland]

He will probably do the TV preacher act of “Forgive me for I have sinned” on national TV.

[TommyDale]

Yeah, I am really surprised.

NOT!

The Savage Nation will be interesting today.

“The Web site of the Emperors Club VIP displays photographs of the prostitutes’ bodies, with their faces hidden, along with hourly rates depending on whether the prostitutes were rated with one diamond, the lowest ranking, or seven diamonds, the highest. The most highly ranked prostitutes cost $5,500 an hour, prosecutors said.”
