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.”
HAH! Just keeps getting better and better!
That piece is from March 2007, not March 2008, if anyone hasn’t made that correction yet.
As others have speculated, WCBS news is speculating that there may be more charges behind this, but is not saying anything more than that...
Yeah, but to throw it ALL away for a few hours? Idiots.
Next headline:
Bush backed Feds harass NY Governor
“Let’s make this fast, Eliot---I gotta withdraw $5000 from the ATM.“
His approval ratings will go up.
Im hearing a Spitzer statement now he took no questions, seemed to admit to not living up to his own standards, needs to spend time working with his family, didn’t resign in this initial statement they are waiting for another statement. There is a room set up for the media but unclear what he is planning to do or when.
Looks like the reports are conflicting...Fox reports he DID resign.......another says he didn’t. I am confused.
ROTFLMAO!!!
Today is March 5, 2007?
Asked what advice he would give to Hillary Clinton, whom he has endorsed and pledged to cast a superdelegate ballot for, Spitzer said: "I'd tell her keep doing what she's been doing," adding: "She's making a powerful case." But the governor also made no secret of his admiration for Barack Obama, saying: "Let's face it, Barack emotes in a way that is remarkable." Asked later whether he believes experience is necessary to bring about real change in government, Spitzer answered, rather diplomatically and in his typical wonky way (he also employed the Spitzeresque buzzword "pivotal" during the interview): "It's not a binary choice." Gov. Eliot Spitzer was one of six governors interviewed about the presidential contest by The Washington Post at the National Governor's Association in D.C.
Yeah, maybe a Senate stall.
Someone on Fox said he used his cell phone to make an interstate call involving prostitution. That equals Mann Act violation.
Craig pled guilty. I don’t think there was an indictment.
(I live in the past) 8~)
Gee, suddenly I don't feel bad for his stupid family. The women standing by his side are of the same stock as Spitzer's women on the side.
So am I, not to mention the rest of the Empire State, I'm sure.
Bill CLinton being on "the List" will only spawn sympathy votes for Hillary. The perpetually wronged woman who faithfully stood by her man.....barf!
