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.”

Is this worse than having a gay governor who solicited gay sex at rest stops along the NJT and the GSP?

Spitzer may already be dead... Suicide?

I was wondering the same thing.

Hillary will ruthlessly throw Spitzer overboard, to the sharks. She probably on a phone call with him right now, telling him to resign immediately.

Grandpa always said “A stiff _____ has no conscience.”

Wonder if Spitzer was about to change horses and endorse Obama?

Laundering money is also involved.
