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.”
Hey, as the saying goes, as long as he was not caught in bed with either a dead girl or a live boy, a politician can beat the rap.
Was he a client or product?
Linked? Involved?
Does this mean Spitzer is a client or also an owner?
yes, it is called the Democratic Party
Wouldn't it be fun if it turns out he was a catcher....
(Hopefully) good riddance - I was worried that this poster boy for the nanny state would become a national threat.
HA! HA!
It's only about sex right? That's cool, isn't it? I thought that was cool now. At least for Democrats.
Involved in a prostitution ring? Was he a hooker?”
Do you suppose he will claim to have been “undercover” for some sort or investigation????
“Do as I say, not as I do” (or who I do, or where, etc)
“What, no (D) after his name?”
It’s in the second paragraph of the story.
unseemly --> Hope his confession includes an immediate resignation...
This is a tad more significant than the toe tapping Larry Craig. Also, many prostitutes are teenagers. Doesn't this put him right up there with Foley who was merely emailing pages???
e.g. Did Spitzer engage in quality control?????
This has got to be some kind of joke. Gov of New York caught up in a prostitution ring.
Eliot “Spitzer Swallows”?
Ok, that was gross. If you redact this post, please don’t ban me. But you know someone is going to say it :-)
I hope a power hungry prosecutor doesn’t throw the book at him! Nah!
What did Larry Flynt know and when did he know it?
All Democrats and RINOs are prostitutes. Kick em all out.
i GUESS THIS IS SELF IMPOSED TERM LIMITS
Oh, he means another Prostitution Ring!
