Report: Spitzer to Make Announcment Following Admission of 'Involvement' With Prostitution Ring

Monday, March 10, 2008

E-Mail Respond Print

New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer scheduled an abrupt announcement Monday from his office as news reports were breaking that the governor told staffers he was involved in a prostitution ring.

Spitzer, who was especially tough on corporate crime as New York attorney general, told his staff Monday that he was involved in the ring, according to The New York Times' Web site, citing an anonymous administration official. No further details regarding his involvement were immediately available.

Just last week, four arrests were made in connection to a high-profile prostitution ring involving big-dollar clients.



HAHAHAHAHA! :rotf:  It's a ring broken up by the Feds! :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:

I'm listening to the beginnings of the press conference now! :rotf:

remember there was some 'high level' politico that was going to be busted in some sex thing? the DUmp thought it was definitely going to be the GOP, and speculated about who it might be for weeks.

then, nothing ever came of it.

HuffPo was going to break it .. or threatened to, then it was some other big time name (NYT?) I dont remember, but the whole story just floated away..

until today.

Especially considering the Dems have people thinking that ONLY Republicans get caught in things like this.

He has been indicted for making interstate phone calls to a whore house in DC. Each one of his numerous phone calls  carries a max jail time of 5 years in prison. Don't you just love the FBI taping or getting hold of his cell phone records. This could not happen to a better deserving prick. Wall Street is celebrating. Plus, there are charges that he used the NY state police to dig up dirt on his Repub. opponent.

This jackass has yet to formally announce his resignation. I guess he thinks that his wealth and being a Dummiecrat entitles him to keep his job.

He supposedly had the New York State Police trail NYS Senator Joe Bruno, and report on all his movements.  The Albany Times Union has had it out for Sen. Bruno, as well.

In all seriousness, I have to ask:  What are the odds of him resigning?

To me, it seems he will likely pull a "Kwame" and just go into hiding.   :whatever:

ACC, the odds of him resigning are 100%.  Let's remember something--he's a "superdelegate" who supports HilLIARy.  While it is true that he's innocent until proven guilty, his attornies are hurrying up the New York State Thruway (I-87), as I type, to Albany, with his resignation letter.  And, Lieutenant Governor David Paterson has supposedly reached out to a judge to administer the Oath of Office, to make him the Governor.

Not worth a new thread, but this opinion piece from India Daily is hilarious.

Hillary Clinton supporter Eliot Spitzer’s prostitution ring connection just make it more important to ask for ‘change we can believe’
Kartik Punaskar
Mar. 10, 2008



 

The democratic party in NY and NJ is corrupted for a long time. But what happened today is beyond any thing we can think of. The man who was giving driver’s license to every illegal alien and a strong supporter of Hillary Clinton is now indicted on being ‘client number 9’ in the prostitution ring.

This is just another reason why we need a real change – not the one that Hillary Clinton is calling for. This is the reason why Obama must lead the Democratic party.

Democratic party of NY and NJ is corrupted. PA is not far behind. We need a thorough change and morality back in NY and NJ politics. A former NJ Governor was also caught in illegitimate homosexual activities a few years back.

The immorality and corruption is so deep rooted in the politicians of NY, NJ and PA, that it is unbelievable.

This sheds dark lights on typical Hillary Clinton supporters.

Oh, okay.  Thanks for the info, since I've only read a couple of articles so far regarding the situation.

It seems now that the reason for the delay is there is some kind of behind the scenes wrangling going on about the transfer of power and making it all legal and such.

Peter Kin (R-NY) is on with Hannity and he said he expects Spitzer to resign by this evening.

People who adamently say they are not going to resign, usually end up resigning. I am not surprised by Spitzer.
