NY Governor Linked to Prostitution Ring

Mar 10, 2:16 PM (ET)

NEW YORK (AP) - The New York Times is reporting that Gov. Eliot Spitzer has told senior advisers that he had been involved in a prostitution ring.

On its Web site, the newspaper cites an anonymous administration official as the source and says Spitzer was meeting with his top aides.

Spitzer officials wouldn't immediately comment on the story to The Associated Press. An announcement was scheduled for 2:15 p.m. at his Manhattan office.

Sorry to be stupid, but if Spizer resigns who becomes the new Governor?

He apologize to his family. Apologize to his-a-family, and then he smiled at me, and I stood there like a fool, and I said to my wife, I must go to the Godfather for justice.

I'd suspect the lieutenant governor.

It sounds certain that he'll resign. He has to.

Apparently, four years ago as attorney-general, he busted a prostitution ring and publicly condemned the participants in the harshest of tones. Apparently, his indignation did not extend to the high priced hookers.

It's another example of how some people of power feel that the laws don't apply to them. He should end his press conference with a smile, saying, "At least I'm not Jim McGreevey."

Kidding aside, I feel bad for his wife and daughters though. They will have some difficult days ahead through no fault of their own.

What an idiot. He came on TV, apologized to his family and the public, and said that he would be be back to the public shortly.

I don't see how he could do anything BUT resign. He broke the law. This is all from a prostitution bust last week. Seems he has been identified as a "client". Supposedly, there are also cell phone records that link him to the ring.

According to the NYS Constitution, the Lieutenant Governor is next in line.

Campaigning as Mr. Squeaky Clean Crusader, and then getting caught with his pants down. Will they never learn??

Allegedly, he was in Washington on 2/13/08, and used his cell phone to arrange to have a prostitute flown in from NY.

I'm out of the loop though. Until today I thought Pataki was still governor. I should pick up a newspaper more often.

Yes, I heard on the news that he first there was the prostitute, then he testified before Congress, and then did an interview on CNBC. Quite an exhausting day, wouldn't you say???

Perhaps it didn't quite happen in that order, but still, that takes a great deal of stamina.

Ah cool, a black Governor of New York.

Are you Italians still sure that Spitzer should resign?* \:D

*=He should, but I wouldn't be shocked if he didn't. But he's fucked in 2010, unless the GOP up there fuck up...

Correct. They will never learn. Reminds me of "A Bronx Tale". The advice of the father (DeNiro) to his son. Don't let the little head .......

WABC Channel 7 is now reporting that the prostitution ring may have links to the Gambino Family.

At least they didn't find Spitzer in Fredo's whorehouse crying over the body of a dead hooker.

"When he tackled organised crime, he decided to break a racket in which the Gambino family controlled the trucking business in the garment district of New York. He set up a false garment factory sweatshop to get the evidence he needed, then charged the Gambinos with a relatively trivial charge, breaking anti-trust law."

Eliot Spitzer was inaugurated as New York’s 54th Governor on January 1, 2007. In his inaugural address, Governor Spitzer said: "Every policy, every action and every decision we make in this administration will further two overarching objectives: We must transform our government so that it is as ethical and wise as all of New York ... ".

David Patterson would succeed him.

At least McGuinty isn't dumb enough to have married a party girl, but that's another Canadian leader* for another time....

Trudeau was a great man. But, RRA I can't argue with Americans not caring too much if at all, about Canadian national, let alone provincial politics.

And from what I've read of him, apparently he was a good leader. But still, when one night you're having to worry about domestic politics like healthcare, while your wife is off at some hotel being the centerpiece of a 3-way with Keith Richards and Mick Jagger....

Not everyone is perfect.

Anyway, I was joking about Americans not caring*.

Well, I heard on the radio that a bank reported to the FBI that the money being paid to this Emperor VIP Club was coming out of one account that WAS connected to the Governor, traveling through some others, and ending up in no way related to him. That is what started the whole investigation.

It seems that being a John could be the least of the Governor's problems, as he may easily be facing money laundering charges.

It's probably the wisest move. That would free him up to be chosen as Hillary's running mate, should she by some miracle surpass Obama.

Talk about experience...I would think she'd jump at the chance to serve with someone who has similar interests to her husband.

I'm sure PMOA (Pimps & Madams of America) would full heartedly endorse that ticket.

Its kind of funny that Spitzer had to pay a woman for what Bush and Cheney did to this country over the last eight years (for no charge).

I thought the comment I heard yesterday was perfect. With the Governors of NJ and CT having resigned in recent years, one for a sex scandal and one for corruption, and with Spitzer's upcoming inevitable resignation, this would make the tri-state the trifecta of shame.
