NEW YORK - Gov. Eliot Spitzer has told senior advisers that he had been involved in a prostitution ring, The New York Times reported Monday, citing an anonymous top administration official.
Spitzer, who is married with three daughters, was scheduled to make an announcement Monday afternoon. Spitzer officials wouldn't immediately comment on the story.
The Times reported that a person with knowledge of the governor's role believes the governor is identified as a client in court papers. Four people allegedly connected to a high-end prostitution ring called Emperors Club VIP were arrested last week.
Granted, since he has a "D" after his name, he'll probably be offered the veep slot...
Here's hoping they flush this turd... From the same article (in the NY-fuckin'-T, of all places):
But his stint as governor has been marred by several problems, including an unpopular plan to grant driver's licenses to illegal immigrants and a plot by his aides to smear Spitzer's main Republican nemesis.
Spitzer had been expected to testify to the state Public Integrity Commission he had created to answer for his role in the scandal, in which his aides were accused of misusing state police to compile travel records to embarrass Senate Republican leader Joseph Bruno.
Looks like he learned from the masters...

Maybe it's just me, but does it seem that when a Democrat is involved in this sort of thing the media never includes the party affiliation? If this were Pataki, the headline would read "Republican Governor Pataki Implicated in Prostitution Ring" and the first line of the article would read, "Republican Governor..."
CNN would have a HUGE graphic with Republican prominently featured.
Nah, must be me!
Like they flushed Senator Vitter?
Spitzer was a turd long before this ever happened. Vitter was most likely a turd as well - he is a politician, after all...
