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.”

Ho ho ho.

[pissant]

That would be my guess, as well

[unspun]

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.

There you go, EB. Real men of genius. "Mr. Fornicating Liberal Democrat...!"

[white trash redneck]

Exactly. We’ll see you Larry Craig, and raise you Eliot Spitzer.

[Walmartian]

Maybe Ronnie Earl can defend him.

[The Duke]

I don’t understand....if he’s a Democrat then isn’t this considered some sort of badge of honor. (Or was it one of those kinky “hetero” rings?)

[Riverman94610]

Theres nothing but WHITE chicks in the photos.
Where is the diversity,man?

[tobyhill]

He was in Washington and client #9 was reported as being in Washington.

[trisham]

His poor family. What a shame.

[End Times Sentinel]

By day he was governor of a large state. By night he walked the mean streets and fulfilled the sick fantasies of twisted minds. The story of Eliot. Who could save him?

Too funny Trib! Writing just may be your calling...

[KingSnorky]

I’ll bet that Hank Greenberg is laughing his arse off.

[pissant]

Now we just need to get Larry Sinclair on the front pages.

According to an article 3 days ago about the bust:

"On its Web site, the company 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."

Go figure!

I was hoping it was gay sex he was into....but this scandal will do.

[Enchante]

Has someone done a summary of the NY-NJ cesspool of politicians? Seems like there have been an awful lot of Demagogue scandals there in the past decade (and preceding decades). Spitzer + McGreevey + Toricelli + all the lesser lights in the Demagogue parties in NY & NJ........ SO MANY are scandal-ridden hypocrites.

Of course let’s not forget the cesspool of Bill and Hillary Clinton.....

[Tulsa Ramjet]

This will make him president in 8 years, just like Slick’s Willie.

What a Valentine’s surprise for his poor wife and family.
Emperor’s Prostitution ring.....Feb 14th in Washington DC

[PghBaldy]

Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. The way he had grandstanded as AG against Wall Street and corporations in general disgusted me. I hope he is forced to resign. He is a governmental bully.

[dforest]

It would be a badge of honor for Bubba.

The thought that he might be on a list like that would just be so good.
