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.”

Apparently he just now made an initial statement-—did not resign. BUT said he was reporting back later.

They feds got wiretaps, and email paypal accounts....they got plenty on him.

Indictments mean nothing to democrats. He’ll see if he can ride this out before he’ll give up one bit of power or influence.

Typical.

Radio in Rochester reading a Spitzer statement from when he prosecuted a sophisticated prostitution ring. Seems now in hearing his description, he was praising the operation.

I was just reading about Elliot “Client 9” Spitzer’s date for the evening, a pretty 105-lb brunette called “Kristen”. The details are emerging now.

Even though I favor the legalization of prostitution, this guy has to resign. You cannot stay in office when you prosecuted people for something you’re getting away with.

Maybe Spitz will name names to get a deal with the feds——THAT could be interesting.

I wonder if we are watching an opening battle in the up coming civil war this August at the DNC convention in Denver?

Nasty, that's for sure.
