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.
MSNBC IS SAYING HE COULD RIDE THIS OUT AND REFERENCING BILL CLINTON !!
Let me guess, you have been wrong in the past for at one time you were right but thought you were wrong. ~snort
Riding it out, was not the best term to use under the circumstances.
BDSM = Bondage Discipline Sado Masochism.
Google it you dare.... But be warned.... some very very sick and strange stuff.

Tucker Carlson lost his bow tie!
Eliot was scheduled to meet with Hudson, NY, corrections’ workers; but he never showed up. Now I can see why—he was trying to correct his own personal problems with incorrigables.
Bye, bye, Eliot. Hudson will have to deal with the new governor to keep open the correction facility.
It's OK - Obama can heal him.
I am far from naive. I understand that when you run on a platform of cleaning things up, as Vitter, Craig & Spitzer have done, and then fall, the media will be all over you. When you are a Republican, it will be worse.
None of which changes my points, which are that:
1). Republicans don't always resign, as the previous poster implied.
2). The whole thing with Spitzer is amusing, but we used to require more of ourselves. That we no longer do so mankes it hard to make too much of this.
3). The media can't spin what can't be spun. For example, with Vitter and Craig, the stories continue because these men continue to stay in office. Hypocrisy makes an easy-to-write story.
Tucker said it......
I seem to remember that campaign donations are supposed to be public records. Someone who knows the ropes should be able to find out whom Mr. Brener has been laundering money for, er, uh, I mean donating money to.
I hope he has a family (not that there's anything wrong with that.)
Gosh, I'm shocked that the DBM would convey such a promotion. /s
He has no sympathy, especially from Wall Street. The floor erupted in a cheer when they heard the news.
sw
LOL, I know I was listening.
Did that include the train fare and hotel room, I wonder? And Spitzer booked the room and the er...session in his own name. Talk about hubris.
Thanks. Mississippi primary should be interesting.
Don’t blame me, I voted for Faso.
Its not helping any... its down a hundred points
