Governor Eliot Spitzer Involved in Prostitution Ring, Makes Statement (Video)
Wow. News broke today that N.Y. Governor Eliot Spitzer was involved in a prostitution ring.
In a press announcement, Eliot Spitzer made this statement:
“I have acted in a way that violates my obligation to my family…. I must now dedicate my time to regain the trust of my family.”
Eliot Spitzer apologized “to the public, and I promise better. I do not believe that politics in the long run is about individuals. It is about ideas, the public good and doing what is best for the state of New York,” and said that he “failed to live up to the standard I expected of myself.”
The New York Times reported that an anonymous adminstration official broke the news of Eliot Spitzer’s involvement with a prostitution ring.

I just heard Congressman King call Eliot (client # 9) the most self-righteous person he had ever met.
Maybe I am jaded but this type of behavior from politicians no longer shocks me. What I find inexplicable is the wife is always there by the disgraced politician’s side. I would hold my own press conference announcing my intention to file for divorce. The ho got $ 4300 for this tryst. If I was the wife I will be mad about that waste of money as well.
