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.”
He is a politician. A DEMOCRAT politician.
Maybe favors. Who knows and who knows what else is going to come out of this. WOW
holy cow again!
Somebody a few posts back mentioned something about money laundering.
Republican= Turn in your resignation
That’s the flow.
Really?
Quick! Someone better let David Vitter and Larry Craig know how it works. They both seem determined to stay and drag things out through the current election year.
And, added bonus, in David Vitter's case, he'll be called as a witness in a prostitution trial sometime this year (you know, an election year?), when he can go on record explaining his (admitted) sleazy, sordid sexual relationship with a prostitute.

He's resigning, apparantly. Nothing will "come out of this." It's all going in the memory hole.
This is Hugh and Series.
I feel bad for his wife and kids, But he is a creep.
Those ladies have some expensive therapy in their future: they thought Elliot was a man.
So sad. For his girls. Unbelievable - he has a beautiful family.
Fox TV now saying that Spitzer will resign, Perhaps he had more involvement in the prostitute service than just being a client. Is he a partner? The name, Client #9 is strange, could be code for investors or VIPs.
Makes one wonder what other treasonous perfidy is going on in the RAT party that our attention is being shifted from.
ROTFL! funny
Gov now indicted per FNC
Those striped shirts are certainly slimming
Bigggg supporter and super delegate, but I thought he played “the wiz” on Seinfeld?
“spokes models”? Is that a new street term that is unfamiliar to me?
So does the john spoke or get spoked?
