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.”
Tell us Liz, is this all most as good as good ***?
You must be having a great day.
Spitzingball is a scumball of the first order.
If he goes down, he may take a lot of NY Rats with him.
power=sex=power=sex=power
Will Bill Clinton’s name come up in their phone records? Or will Hillary’s?
Well, I was a little depressed this morning over losing Hastert’s seat....but this more than makes up for that!
Pass the popcorn!!!
that’s a year out of date
Looks like he will take himself out:
He not expected to continue his term, multiple sources in the state Legislature tell CBS 2, setting off one of the largest scandals in modern New York state political history.
Is it Spitz or Swallows, baby? (Channelling Austin Powers).
Not today. March 5.
Hey, SW—your buddy has been indicted. :-)
This seems to have been a pretty major operation. The client list is probably quite long, and if the Feds are exposing somebody like Spitzer, they’re going to have a hard time avoiding exposing them ALL. Things will get REALLY interesting if Bill Clinton turns up on the list. I’m sure Hillary’s on the phone right now, but I don’t think it’s with Spitzer or his flunkies; I think it’s with anybody who can help her find out whether Bill’s on the list.
A legally blind African American who didn’t run in the same social circles (thank god) as Spitzer is NOW going to be New York’s new Governor...How sweet it is!..
Maybe the GOP can get back some of those Independents that have been leaning Rat.
MSDNC reading list of Governors who have been in trouble, ONLY saying “Republican Gov.....”, and for Dem Govs saying nothing but their names.
LOL, man, I wish we had a “news” channel for the GOP.
I like how you think!
I think that Hillary! just showed the super delegates what to expect if they don’t vote for her.
She will keep BJ just a little bit longer. He has to pass on when her tears will get her the most votes, and that’s not til Denver.
It would be bad enough if it were kept quiet, but to have everyone in the world know must be so awful for them. If I were his wife, I’d be beside myself.

Dude, you are good.
I remember when I first saw this guy on TV as the AG of NY. My first impression was arrogant slimeball. This could not have happened to a more deserving RAT. I do feel sorry for his wife and daughters.
Can't be.
He's a public servant of the people and we ALL know that we need to depend upon public servants and trust their judgment.
After all, without public servants, who do we have to look up to?
