    Times story updated...seems the Gov was a client:

    Just last week, federal prosecutors arrested four people in connection with an expensive prostitution operation. Administration officials would not say that this was the ring with which the governor had become involved.

    But a person with knowledge of the governor’s role said that the person believes the governor is one of the men identified as clients in court papers.

    The governor’s travel records show that he was in Washington in mid-February. One of the clients described in court papers arranged to meet with a prostitute who was part of the ring, the Emperors Club VIP on the night of Feb. 13.

    Mr. Spitzer appeared on a CNBC television show at 7 a.m. the next morning. Later in the morning, he testified before a Congressional committee.

    An affidavit filed in federal court in Manhattan in connection with that case lists six conversations between the man, identified as Client 9, and a booking agent for the Emperors Club.

    Hey, Edwin Edwards didn't have to go to hookers. Women slept with him for free.
    The Wall Street Journal editorial page has been taking a sledgehammer to Spitzer for years. This certainly won't help matters.

    Since this has nothing to do with his work as Governor, I doubt this story has legs. Reporters aren't interested in this kind of story. Nothing to see. Move along.

    Another womanizing Democrat.

    Helps to balance out all the man-izing Republicans.

    I guess sleeping with the governor isn't the status symbol it once was.

    I have seen no reference to the prostitutes being female.

    He's going to plead guilty to try and keep it out of the papers.

    Jim McGreevey has no idea why his phone just began ringing off the hook.
