Default NYS Governor

Oh what a shock, this guys whole family thought they were above the law. Personally, I think he's an asshole, now I think he's an asshole who spends $5000 for a hooker.

Gov. Eliot Spitzer told officials in his administration that he was involved in a prostitution ring, the New York Times reported. Fox News reported that he will be indicted and will resign.

But in a brief statement this afternoon, Spitzer said little about what he called "a private matter." He apologized to his family and the public but didn't say why he was apologizing. "I was disappointed that I did not live up to the standard that I expected of myself," he said.

He added that he must now "dedicate time to regain the trust of my family."

Spitzer, who is married with three children, made cleaning up the ethics of state government a priority when he was elected.

Feds last week busted a diamond-studded international call-girl ring that offered well-heeled johns "fashion models, pageant winners and exquisite students" for up to $5,500 an hour - after one of the prostitutes turned on her pimp.

Read the Post's story on the call-girl ring bust.

The Times reported that Spitzer was caught on a federal wiretap last month as he arranged to meet a high-priced prostitute in Washington. The recording was of a man identified as Client 9. The Times reported that someone with knowledge of the investigation said Spitzer is Client 9.

The johns paid as much as $50,000 for a weekend with a prostitute and had the option of purchasing a "buy out" of their favorite girls, which allowed them to book trysts directly with the hookers, Manhattan federal prosecutors said.

The Emperors Club, an upscale escort service, ranked its hookers on a seven-diamond scale on its Web site and then charged its wealthy clientele accordingly for "dates," court papers said.

Four people were charged with prostitution and tax crimes for allegedly raking in more than $1 million with a stable of 50 girls that serviced clients in New York, Washington, LA, San Francisco, Chicago, Miami, Las Vegas, London, Paris and Vienna.

Spitzer had served two terms as attorney general where he pursued criminal and civil cases and cracked down on misconduct and conflicts of interests on Wall Street and in corporate America. He had previously been a prosecutor in the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, handling organized crime and white-collar crime cases.

His cases as state attorney general included a few criminal prosecutions of prostitution rings and into tourism involving prostitutes.

In 2004, he was part of an investigation of an escort service in New York City that resulted in the arrest of 18 people on charges of promoting prostitution and related charges.

An article today implies he was done in by the bankers, not by any political party.
