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.”

It couldn’t happen to a more rotten creep.

[keat]

He was supposed to speak at 2:15... 2:53 now.

You wonder much time The Times will give him, they obviously know everything. Would they give a Republican time to prepare a statement or would they just drop the bomb?

[Jim Noble]

I bet Spitzer was leaning Obama. This was a warning to the other superdelegates.

[fml]

I wish!!

[Petronski]

Not only does he have to pay someone to have sex with him, but they demand $5,000 for the task.

Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha!

[ZULU]

They’ll just come up with another idiot.

Tooo bad he isn’t fighting it - it would draw out the embarrasment.

[gridlock]

How can he afford $5K an hour on a civil servant’s salary?

[lowbridge]

bump

[Soliton]

Maybe he’ll resign to spend more time with his family. You think?

I hope he gets rehab for his addiction

[TonyInOhio]

Funny stuff, thanks!

[pissant]

Ha! I love the conspiracy.

[tobyhill]

It occurred across state lines making it federal now.

[SmithL]

He’s a Dem, so he gets a free pass.

Well, almost free. He’ll apologize and go to Rehab, and all will be well again.

CELEBRATE!

[Miss Didi]

Is this Mrs. Clinton’s exit strategy appointing herself as our new governor?

[Enchante]

re: “Emperor’s VIP Club” — a name designed to appeal perfectly to the vanity, egomania, and insecurities of twits like Spitzer. I’ll bet he’d have his “girls” call him “Emperor” in the throes of passion, too!!

[RightWhale]

How interesting.
