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.”

If high-class hookers are outlawed, only outlaws will have high-class hookers!

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

He's from a wealthy family. His dad's a "winner of life's lottery." Loaned his campaign a bundle when it was on the skids, if memory serves.

[Gator113]

Perhaps Naughty Nancy is giving him....advice.

[Political Junkie Too]

I hope he gets rehab for his addiction

At $5,000/hour, maybe they'll hire him.

The lunatic finally gets his.

Enjoy the reaping.

Funny. There was a news item yesterday about seven diamond hookers. Maybe that was the preliminary rumble of this.

You can listen to WCBS news radio 880 here:

[1Old Pro]

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

He has a little problem, it's been 4 hours and he's still.....

Well, the press conference can wait. The only thing more embarrassing as saying you use a whore, is giving a press conference with a h@rd on.

Hopefully the media will resurrect the Senate majority Leader Joe Bruno story about the Palm Beach strip club visit he made.

The whole NYS government is a bunch of sex addicts.

This is his family:

I can't imagine how they must feel.

[READINABLUESTATE]

Isn’t Spitzer one of Hillary’s pledged superdelegates?

[Jeff Head]

Hillary, just let me know when want a little extra action. The Senate is soooo boring. We have room for you as a client...or for those special customers. And, trust me, the pay is outstanding.

[txhurl]

Resigning.
