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 knew he was dirty...it was rumored for a long time he had shaken down the Street for political donations when he was State AG. Many of his prosecutions were of companies that had either not given at all, or hadn’t given enough. But I never figured he was involved in prostitution.

Well, Barney Frank got through it...so will he. Sadly...

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

The name fits the Pompous (now Pimpish) Prosecutor...

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

One is a Prostitution ring...the other is foot tapping in a bath(R)oom.

Certainly you see the difference.

It's going to be interesting to find out what the gov's role was. Did he supply "protection" to try to ensure the company was not bothered? If so, this would likely reach FAR ouside just the gov's office

These were $50K/weekend "escorts". The client list probably looks like a "Who's Who" of the wealthy and powerful. I'd wonder if girls were supplied to secure "political" favors?

I can hear the new Limbaugh song for when he has Spitzer news:

“Love Client Number Nine” (ala love potion #9)...

As much as we all want this to be true - remember, this is the New York Times.

Whew! Lucky for him that's not on the Vatican's new list of "7 Deadly Sins"... (1)genetic modification; (2) human experimentations, (3) polluting the environment; (4) social injustice; (5) causing poverty; (6) financial gluttony; and (7) taking drugs.

Though #2 might apply depending on his predilictions

Wonder who clients 1 through 8 are?

Maybe a few more rats will get caught going for the cheese.

...I successfully prosecuted prostitution in the past because I knew prostitution so very well!

Heh... that'd really be something. Spitzer the man-whore, using his day job to clear out the competition.
