Spitzer Is Linked to Prostitution Ring
Gov. Eliot Spitzer has informed his most senior administration officials that he had been involved in a prostitution ring, an administration official said this morning.
Mr. Spitzer, who was huddled with his top aides early this afternoon, had hours earlier abruptly canceled his scheduled public events for the day. He is set to make an announcement about 2:15 this afternoon at his Manhattan office.
Mr. Spitzer, a first-term Democrat who pledged to bring ethics reform and end the often seamy ways of Albany, is married with three children.
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.
He had a difficult first year in office, rocked by a mix of scandal and legislative setbacks. In recent weeks, however, Mr. Spitzer seemed to have rebounded, with his Democratic party poised to perhaps gain control of the state Senate for the first time in four decades.
Mr. Spitzer gained national attention when he served as attorney general with his relentless pursuit of Wall Street wrongdoing. As attorney general, he also had prosecuted at least two prostitution rings as head of the state’s organized crime task force.
In one such case in 2004, Mr. Spitzer spoke with revulsion and anger after announcing the arrest of 16 people for operating a high-end prostitution ring out of Staten Island.
“”This was a sophisticated and lucrative operation with a multitiered management structure,” Mr. Spitzer said at the time. ”It was, however, nothing more than a prostitution ring.”
Albany for months has been roiled by bitter fighting and accusations of dirty tricks. The Albany County district attorney is set to issue in the coming days the results of his investigation into Mr. Spitzer’s first scandal, his aides’ involvement in an effort to tarnish Majority Leader Joseph L. Bruno, the state’s top Republican.
I hope he resigns if he was with a prostitute.
Shame on everyone always making fun of Republicans that may have been trying to pick up in a bathroom, at least that guy resigned.
FUREVIL
People like you shouldnt be voting. Moron.
Too funny! It's probably a mob set-up though.
SCUMBAG!
A perfect argument of why we need a female in the Whitehouse!
what a dickrod. corporations in NYC must be laughing their asses of right now.
Couldn't happen to a bigger douchebag. ALL polticians are two faced!!
I wonder if any of his N.Y. government representatives knew of these com-ings and go-ings…y'all.
what a stupid man——–ASS
It is always the squeaky clean ones that have the most bones (sometimes cemeteries) in their closet….. OBAMA!?!?!
fucking democrats.
Re: robinthebomb – #96. Well, Mr. or Ms. Republican, if you had bothered to read the story below, you would have seen the word "Democrat". NEXT TIME DON'T BE SO QUICK TO ASSUME - AND DON'T TYPE IN CAPS UNLESS YOU HAVE SOMETHING WORTH SAYING. PUTTING IT IN CAPS DOES NOT MAKE IT MORE INTERESTING OR TRUTHFUL.
As Nelson would say Hah-Hah, fuck New York and the hypocritical fucks, go down to your hole in Manhattan and cry you vagina washing creeps
Re: rjp3 – and thats how AIDS/HIV & other STD's become such a problem, People need to stop being so damn ignorant and open a fucking book.
Re: kms – #111. Better to be fucking Democrats than Fucking the whole country (i.e. Republicans). Remember, fucking is natural.
Let's put the blame where it belongs - on MEN. They all do it, Democrats, Republican, Greens, Independents (well maybe not Ralph Nader). Actually, most of my favorite presidents and elected officials are the ones who are enjoying sex.
WOW! well this makes me very PROUD to be from NEW YORK! ughhhhhh….I DID NOT VOTE FOR HIM!!!
haha get over it, furevil… he's a DEMOCRAT.
Big surprise. Another lying, hypocrite, cheating, two-faced politician. Dude looks like a bald Crispin Glover. I hope your wife has enough self esteem left to dump your STD ass and take you to the cleaners you fucking douche.
On the other hand, I don't think prostitution should be illegal but that's another topic.
The story really is about his double standards, not prostitution. I see nothing wrong if someone wants to be a big ho. Just keep your privates clean and work it baby! Wurk it on IT.
I find it very disturbing we have more and more instances of this schizophrenic type of behavior with politicians. Our society needs a revamp of how we go about electing people. They just can't be rich and well connected, but have to mean what they say. This type of behavior ruins our faith in government. All things considered, him seeing a hooker is the least of our worries these days.
ohemgee.. he's so gayy.
Those dems can't keep it in their pants!!
What is wrong with men, their all pigs and pervs
Go McCain….No, go Hillary!!!!
So what! Prostitution should be legalized anyway! The laws about sex in our country are ridiculous. A person should be able to make their own choices about what they want to do with their bodies; it's just sex. At last he's admitting it, unlike Larry Craig!
The only thing that makes me angry about what he did is that it's another case of a [hypocritical] politician thinking he's above the law. It's a flawed law, but a law nonetheless. Until it's ok for everyone to do it, he isn't allowed to do it, either!!!
Re: IT DOES SAY DEMOCRAT –
IT SAY IN THE STORY BELOW FUCKTARD…NOT IN THE HEADLINE LIKE IT WOULD NORMALLY BE IF IT WAS A REPUBLICAN BEING CALLED OUT…AND ILL TALK IN CAPS ANY DAMN TIME I WANT TO YA WANKSTER.
his wife kinda looks like Jennifer Anniston
did you know that "spitz" means "horny" in german
Insurance executives are pissing themselves laughing right now.
OOOhhh, honeys, I'd do him for free!!!
That son of a bitch should realize that he could be carrying around some STD and had passed it on to his wife. He could have made her really sick. You can't cure HIV/AIDS. She needs to divorce him and take him to the cleaners.
ew. There is not enough money in the world to pay me to hook up with him. Dirty dirty dirty…
Hey theycallmemister, the REPUBLICAN Lousiana congressman who also had his own prostitution issue didn't resign… it's not a party thing. Craig is also still in the Senate — nice try though….
Personally I am so sick of politicians pulling this sort of crap. He is my governor and say get out because you will no longer have any sort of respect within the office and he will get nothing done. Well done. Why won't these stupid politicians ever learn? How to ruin your career - the Clinton playbook.
in response to the person who posted about giving illegal immigrants drivers licenses…that was simply a ploy to get EVERYONE's minds off of the scandal that was surround governor spitzer at the time about his dealings with Rudy Giuliani, and apparently it was able to fool you, along with a majority of the state.
lets get serious though, a politician is bound to end up messing up someway, somehow.. so at least Spitzer messed up in his personal life and not with our state government.
and lets not forget, we had a TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE governor (piece of shit Pataki) before Spitzer came.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. The fucktard actually had the whorehouse transport his whore across state lines. He wanted to make sure he was shoving his undersized dick into some NY meathole while in DC. Fuck him, fuck that whore wife of his and fuck his whore daughters. Fuck'em all.
Stop drawing all over the pix. It is stupid. Your 15 min is about over…
He should resign. Cheating on your family with a prostitute shows character & hypocrisy, considering he busted 2 prostitute crime rings before.
As a resident of New York and as someone who had a family screwed over by this man when they ran for an office
Good freakin riddance you scum hole!!
May your family be smart and leave you with nothing
Re: sdfsdf – what
This should not affect Senetor Hillary Clinton's Democratic nomination for presidential campaign what so ever.
Re: Theycallmemister #39. What are talking about "If he were a Republican, he would resign in disgrace?" Was Larry Craig who got caught propositing an undercover cop in a men's bathroom a democrat? No! He was a republican. Did he resign in disgrace? Hell no! He is still representing Idaho in the Senate. Are you being forgetful or just demonstrating your republican hypocrisy?
Dirty men and scandalous sex in American politics….. same old same old.
Man this dude is UGLY,I hope the lights were out.Sounds like a, Jesus made me do it,or you hanging around Bill Cliton for awhile,you know Hilary has been busy on the road
Hookers and politicians seem to go together like peanut butter and jelly. How fucking stupid to be Governor and think no one would find out. Put a fork in him.
Holy Shit!! Go figure; Another politician in a sex scandal. BTW, to posters who say that sex scandals are usually from republicans; that's not (always) true. Just think of Bill Clinton.
I am so tired of Democrates & Republicans sticking up for their own & attacking each other.
I think the majority of us find these acts reprehensible & hypocritical. We should all remember that & stand together. We should not only unite with those according to our political beliefs, but unite in the fact that we all as Americans EXPECT our politicians to mean what they say.
in other words:
Divided we stand, together we'll fall.
or
Together we stand, divided we fall.
Dems are the moral loosers this election around!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Typical democrat: do as I say not as I do.
'Why the hell dont you write DEMOCRAT GOVERNOR Elliot Spitzer? ??? You fucking know if this guy was a Republican it would have been the first word you typed.'

Because it's no suprise to anyone that a democrat would do such a thing….
Good. I hope he gets a nice 10 years in prison…while he's there he can think of all the careers he's ended of normal people in the music business while some guy named "Sally" slaps his ass and calls him daddy.
Another loser who can't practice what he preaches! This moron made the following statement in 2004 why he prosecuted a prostitution ring:
"This was a sophisticated and lucrative operation with a multi-tiered management structure… It was, however, nothing more than a prostitution ring."
Looks like the sleaze ball got caught with his pants down! ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!
I heard from a very reliable source in the NY govt that he is planning on resigning.
I live in NY state and have been WAITING for something like this. Thank God he fucked up, now he'll leave office. He's horrid.
And by the way Perez, Hillary Clinton is SUPPORTING HIM, AFTER she called out one of Obama's supporters for a similar thing. Can hypocrite be spelled H-I-L-L-A-R-Y?
hahah you fucking asshole. so glad they got the jackass!
Look for the video on BOTH YouTube and RedTube
.
I was the camara man in their hotel room.
.
It was a Foursome with NY Governor Spitzer, Slick Willie Clinton, Hillary and Spitzer's whore
And, dammit, if he ain't a DEMOCRAT!!!!! How about all your smarmy remarks when it comes to those hypocritical left wing DEMS?!?!?
SO when is he gonna announce his resignation?! Gov. McGreevy resigned after he came out of the closet and admitted to an alleged affair with a guy…. so why shouldn't this fool step down too? What an embarrassment for his wife and 3 daughters. He's the moral hard ass but this is what he does when the camera's arent rolling! I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him. What a shady character. And WHO was paying for all this "illegal sex"? He's been a thorn in the side for Wall Street, I'm sure they'll be happy to see him go. But it's not even about the "prostitution" , it's that he's a liar and a hypocrite.
*laughs at all the republicans shitting their pants with glee*
A jew. What a surprise.
How did I get stuck in this portal of who cares. I want to see the "entertainment now" bs and not what everyone thinks….
I am very disappointed with the news, mostly because of his career and reputation. He was good at preaching ethics. I guess when it comes to preaching about ethics it might be a good idea for the preacher to have a disclaimer that states that nothing that this preacher says constitutes or imply an endorsement of the statement.
Prostitution should be legal in every state, and the prostitutes should pay taxes of their income as a prostitute.
And further; HIV/AIDS and other STD´s should be checked every 30 day(s), this is the modern path, and the society as of today, March, 2008.
This country's president was having x-tramarital affairs in The White House, lied under oath about it (perjury), and mislead and lied to the American People. He finished his term, and is doing fine! As a matter of fact, isn't that his wife who is now running for president.
GIVE THE GUY A BREAK. Are we so perfect that no one has ever made a mistake? What about all the good he's done for NYC, etc.? THINK ABOUT THAT!
Hey- it was only 5000 a night- remember, I'm a Democrat, and I believe the rich are horrible, and that the poor need all the money the government can give them- so what's $5000 to get laid mean? OH- you mean, give them MY money. Hell no. I only give my donations to hookers….go get that money from the people who can't afford $5000 a blow job and all tax payers.
Politicians suck
haha, what a manwhore. Im ashamed to be a Newyorker
when will you democunts figure out that a law degree is natures way of marking the assholes so we can avoid them…..stop voting for lawyers you invertebrates
im from jersey- the news said they caught him talking about it on wire tap- there for he is said to be resigning this evening
Re: EDISON – I guess you can't beat your logic on that
Seeing how the only woman running for office has one of the most notorious womanizers for a husband in political history.
I gues that explains why she endorsed Spitzer and he endorsed her.
VOTE OBAMA!!!!
What a tool.
You think this is bad? What about the Mayor of Detroit? Dead strippers, text message scandals, sexual affairs with his staff, illegal firings of people that investigate him, crooked deals for his friends….talk about corrupt…this dude has nothing on Kwamee!
The Superdelegate plot thickens. New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer reportedly was a Clinton Super Delegate. If he loses his seat will the VP Govenor (a black man )become Obama's Super Delegate?
Im ashamed to live in NY right now. First he wanted to give illegal aliens a drivers license and now this. WTF is wrong with NYS government officals these days? Seriously, I think its time to move to a different state.
MEN ARE BEASTS!
All he had to say at his news conference is "hey, I like the ladies…., wifey ain't doing the do so I put a mask and become Client #9. It's cheaper to keep wifey and look good even though I feel bad but the expense of dirty poon is priceless". He could have voted in a President if he had said something along those lines. Thank goodness, it wasn't sex with boys or animals. In case you haven't realized it Politicians and those who hide behind the bible are liars, cheats besides some cops, the worst criminals of them all!!!!!!
Re: robinthebomb – #123 Ha, I guess it would be too much for you to read the whole story since obviously you can't write either. Grow up.
Re: Becky –
Are you stupid? It's not his private life. Prostitution is illegal and this guy is supposed to uphold the rule of law.
first!!! durrrrrr
Hey Perez,
Love your site, but most of your commenters are dumb as a box of rocks. Seriously, I read some of these comments, and regardless of which side they are on, the lack of intellect is just horrendous. I hope these people don't know how to vote.
typical democrat.
Re: robin –
Those of you who are saying that prostitution should be legal are ignorant. It should be a legal job for a woman to have sex with 1,000s of partners? How stupid. This is why we have AIDS, Herpes and other non curable diseases. Most sex workers are doing that type of work because they are troubled…not because they want to. Making it illegal gives law enforcement a chance to intervene with their screwed up lives and help them out of it. If it's legal how do they assist those 18 year olds who are being drugged and controlled? Duh, didn't think of that huh?
Read the affidavit on the Smoking Gun. He was a regular customer who was known for being difficult. He would ask the girls to do "unsafe" things.
Why come down so hard on the Staten Island hooker bust in 2004 when all along…HE WAS DOING THE SAME THING!!!
He needs to resign immediately.
Democrats get caught having sex with women
Republicans gets caught having sex with men
hahaha
Democrats get caught having sex with women
Republicans get caught having sex with men
hahaha
His wife should have Smelled his D!ck!!!! ha, ha, ha, ha…..
eewww… bitch needs a rug… who would do him. ick.
My ex roommate was a high class call girl and she did not have a problem telling people. oi?
She said most of the girls who worked in those expensive places were struggling models, actresses, and OH MY GOD-COLLEGE GIRLS!!!
SO…SOMUCHFORYOURCAREER…makes you go hmmmm….
MOST OF THE GUYS WHO GO TO THESE PLACES ARE FATHERS-SAY WHAT???
MEN WHO WANT SEX WHEN THEIR MARRIED? WOW…i'm so surprised…NOT
The girls who work in that industry are probably the girls sitting next to you in your college class.
Hey remember Heidi Fleiss and her girls and all those rumors that certain cough…celebrities once worked for Heidi Fleiss.
BUT what is the difference between girls who sleep around or even sleep with a guy after meeting him at a club/bar and sleeping with gross married bald men.
Who is really the dirty HO?
and no i do not work but i try not to judge why women have to do the things that they do to survive
How do you not know that your fathers have never visited a pro?
I don't care about Spitzer but I feel bad for his kids and not his wife…
….and because he is a democrat it will be dropped…covered up and all the other illegle shit that a Rep. would NEVER get away with
AT LEAST WE CAN SAY THE MAN IS HETEROSEXUAL. IF HE WERE INTO GUYS ID SAY HANG HIM HIGH…
as far as needing a woman in the white house. what makes you think hilary doesn't get some on the side? there have been rumors for years that she meets her lovers at the hay adams in dc.
A crooked, lying lawyer who engages in illegal activities? This can't be true. Lawyers have a code of ethics!
Re: PACA – IF HE WERE GAY, YOU'D BE SUCKING HIS ASS DRY FRUITFLY!
Many, many Harvard, Princeton and Yale college girls are strippers and prostitutes. Women, if you wanna make money, prostitution is the key to all your woes!!!
Re: NYC – Correction Most recently Democratic officials have gotten caught paying extremely high prices for sex from high priced call girls and another problem besides breaking laws of the US is that their governement salaries can not affords such extreme cost so where are these dirty pervs getting their sex money from?????
Man this man's wife looks so pathetic standing by her cheating man. Grow some balls lady and drop the hot mess that he is………Better yet go get checked for AIDS immediately.
The sex industry spreads AIDS fast. Look at CHINA!
Re: Theycallmemister –
Right. Like Larry Craig resigned?
This guy is made of money. Why can't he fix his Dumbo-sized ears? I've never seen a human with such big ears. I don't care about his politics - he's just a typical, rich-at-birth, power-hungry, bored politician - but the EARS! Somebody help him.
Re: Big Ears. Big Ears. Big Ears – #197 - wow, you really have your priorities straight…. How you look is really all that matters.
who cares? he was horny! the republican convention last time around had to recruit out of state to get enough sex workers to satiate them all. these guys need sex and have to pay for it. give em a break
wierd
I like how their always sorry after they get caught!
