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.”

“What is wrong with these politicians?”

It’s all about power and money for most of them.

Then they get their licenses (wink, wink)."

Made a statement.. did not confess to anything, did not resign, talked about working it out with his family....

So to translate: If Bill got away with it, then so should I....

He did say the word NOT “resign” in his statement. Obviously, they are doing a poll on it..

I'm hearing on radio stream that conservatives and police in particular don't like the soon to be new governor Paterson, also did I hear correctly he is blind?

I hope against hope some republican leader can point out that Mr. law enforcement dem Spitzer naturally thought he was exempt from the law, being a liberal dem.

[calcowgirl]

Can't imagine why a chick magnet like this would have to pay for it.

LOL! That does explain why he had to pay $5000. ;-)

Troopergate's resigning??!

By FREDRIC U. DICKER March 5, 2007 -- ALBANY - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign organization "exploded" last week over Gov. Spitzer's refusal to endorse her for president, according to senior Democratic officials...

Bet she was given a heads up to the indictment.

[processing please hold]

Do you think that accusing someone of pointing out rank hypocrisy makes one a Democrat?

I merely asked because someone over at DU pointed out the same thing in a statement similar to yours.

[Swanks]

He’s not resigning - he’s taking it to the Florida Supreme Court. [sorry, that was Algore 2000]

[txhurl]

Somebody would have donated a hooker’s time to Bill.

I hope he’s on the list.

that was 2007
