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.”

Somebody may already have posted this, but I have the headline for tomorrow's New York Post:

ELIOT MESS

[fml]

The GOP needs to run with this make sure everyone knows of this Democrat corruption.

Everyone knows...the democrats just don't care

[Ignatz]

Sorry, I thought this was Penthouse Forum for a second...

1) "Dear Forum, I never though it would happen to me...."

2) "This one time, at band camp..."

[DaveMSmith]

Yep, according to Wikipedia, Spitzer is a Hillery superdelagate

[Swanks]

Two minute warning, Yo!

[GOP_Party_Animal]

The AP report I read did not list his party, so I just assumed he was a RAT.

What an awful governor he was.

I had been saying since early 2006 that Giuliani would have been better off running for governor of NY. He’s about as “conservative” a leader as can be elected in NY state, which is to say not too conservative at all but better than any other alternative.

ROAD RAGE: Gov. Spitzer said he could crush the caller.

ELIOT SPITZ FIRE BLOWS UP AT GOP CRITIC

[mvpel]

Five years jail [max] per each act or phone call each time he crossed from one state to another, per Da Judge on FNC

I can't figure out what's more obscene - the phone calls or the punishment for engaging in an unapproved business transaction.

Probably he wore a toga and a laurel wreath (snicker).

“BREAKING-—He was playing john in Washington-—a federal offense b/c he used a cellphone”

Glad to see our Federal resources wisely spent.

Just a question? Do you post at DU?

How many times to men have to learn? Keep it zipped or lose your career. How difficult is that?

I expect the Rats to break a retaliatory repub scandal before sundown.

Indicted FEB 7th? But sealed. What does that mean?

The incident in question occurred on Feb. 13, but he was indicated six days prior to that. Hmmmm...
