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.”

PJ, I'm sure there will be much reaction in DUmmieland, KOmmieland, and HUffieland.

Check your FReepMail. You will find the perfect parody idea there.

If I was Peterson, I'd hire a food taster until I'm out of office.

Naw, just look at the food and if it doesn't look right, ask for another plate. ; )

Democrats have no moral code such as the Golden Rule by which to guide their arrogant lifestyles.

They do have the law but that is only for Traditional Americans so as to keep them in line.

However, most liberals feel they are above the law, until they get caught.

Everytime I see that picture I feel so sorry for his wife.

I don’t know how she managed to appear with him and stand there. Don’t think I would have done it.

He was with that prostitute on Feb. 13, the night before Valentine’s Day. Makes me sick to my stomach to think about him giving Valentine gifts to his family the next day.

Wonder if he thinks the money and time spent with the prostitutes was worth the shame his daughters and wife are suffering today. Although, I doubt he had to pay $$$, if he was part of the management, and he obviously has no shame.

Surprised it took this long to catch the crooked dem.

That's because to be a dem politician requires being a crook and there are plenty of dem politicians out there.

Weeding them out takes time....

A George Fox mentioned at this link, scroll down past the original article.

If it's the same dude, the guy's a "hedge fund consultant".

Spitzer’s daughters have to live with this for the rest of their lives.

That man truly is a POS.

Prisoner stripes were horizontal; probably some liberal decided to do away with them because they made convicts look fat and it was bad for their self-esteem.

He's a Democrat politician lacking of scruples and common sense.

That put things in perspective.

He'll walk.

He described the details to come out in trial as “lurid” and “devastating.”

He was smoking in a public place? They hit violators with some pretty heavy fines for that. Liberal moralists are really cracking down.

No wonder Mrs. Bill Clinton is running hard and fast AWAY from Eliot Spitzer.

“ Hillary, sorry. I gotta make this short. I feel a song coming on.”

I don't know if this is true but a check of DUmmieland claims that Spitzer is a Democrat Superdelegate on Hill's side.

Naturally they also claim the our side took him down, forgetting that the case was against the prostitution ring, not him.
