Update: Wow! Fifteen grand on hookers in six months? Well, that's only between 3 - 6 visits or so, but damn. Not very budget smart, if you ask me. LOL
From the pic with the article, Eliot may not be phoning home much longer, Silda ain't looking too happy. And if people are now starting to talk about years of Spitzer hooking up with hookers, I'd wager the other spike heel is going to drop and eventually the details are going to be brutal in the New York press.
March 11, 2008 -- Gov. Eliot Spitzer has been soliciting high-priced hookers for at least six years and possibly for more than a decade, sources tell The Post.
The revelation yesterday that the crusading governor was in fact "Client 9" named in a federal prostitution indictment did not shock insiders in the city's sex industry.
Sources tell The Post that Spitzer had frequented high-priced hookers as far back as 2002 and possibly earlier.
It's been said before, but I'll say it again: It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

I feel most sorry for his daughters.

I still can't figure out why these guys think they can get away with it. I think they secretly want to be caught. Or maybe there day to day life in politics and government is so boring they need some kind of real excitement.

Frankly the NY press doesn't look that tough, having missed the story for what? 10 years?
Are these journalists or historians?

Makes sense to me.
The chances he was caught the first time are minute.
As are the chances he first decided to give it a try for $1,000 an hour.

"--- Spitzer expected to pull out tomorrow. ---"
He better. Assemblyman Tedisco has threatened to bring impeachment charges if he doesn't resign.
Scuttlebutt is that Lieutenant Governor (soon to be just "governor") is quite the Albany insider that Spitzer wasn't. I'm kinda hoping Spitzy sticks around and tries to fight down an impeachment... except that unlike his brother Democrat Billy Clinton, there is likely enough evidence to put Spitzer behind bars for quite some time... and he doesn't look like the sort who would last long in prison without being made into somebody's punk.
