Poster Comment: They didn't mention the sex of the prostitutes, but given that he's a prominent politician, I'd guess it to be a healthy mix of boys and girls.

Some news agencies are reporting that he will resign as Gov...
But what do his wife and three children think about it?
Bend over, Elliot
You would think, given his history, that the man would simply know better. I'm amazed that he allowed himself to do something so completely boneheaded.
That's one way to put it. He was letting the head of his boner do his thinking for him.
Spitzer is identified as "Client 9" which makes me wonder exactly how many rich and powerful other got themselves caught in this. Could be a lot of people sweating bullets tonight. It they got Spitzer, who else is going to fall?
If nobody else falls, that would suggest Spitzer was being targeted.
The NY media is reporting that they caught him on a federal wire tap over the course of the last two months. It's also being reported that he has been indicted.
U.S. Prostitution Laws and Related Punishments TITLE 18--CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE PART I--CRIMES CHAPTER 117--TRANSPORTATION FOR ILLEGAL SEXUAL ACTIVITY AND RELATED CRIMES Sec. 2422. Coercion and enticement (a) Whoever knowingly persuades, induces, entices, or coerces any individual to travel in interstate or foreign commerce, or in any Territory or Possession of the United States, to engage in prostitution, or in any sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense, or attempts to do so, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both. (b) Whoever, using the mail or any facility or means of interstate or foreign commerce, or within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States knowingly persuades, induces, entices, or coerces any individual who has not attained the age of 18 years, to engage in prostitution or any sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense, or attempts to do so, shall be fined under this title and imprisoned not less than 5 years and not more than 30 years.

Let's hope he paid. If the Gambinos were giving him a free favor, that would really magnify the scandal.

Hey, why don’t you hit the ATM, Spitzer was told, and not only pull out enough to cover Kristen’s $2,600, but give her an additional $1,500 so that he’d have some cash on the books and this wouldn’t happen next time. Sheesh, he was a governor, after all. Eventually, Eliot’s total for the night came to $2,721.41 (Huh? Sales tax? Extras?), and he generously turned over $4,300, which put him in good stead for his next time. So does that mean he has a refund coming?

This is your day in court
She gets the house, the kids, the car
You get to pay child support

Replies to Comment # 55. As the time for the appointment neared, the cash still hadn’t arrived. But the Emerald Club’s operators noted that the governor had some credit in his account: $400. Now, that would buy you a real good time in our neighborhood, but Eliot was looking for the royal treatment, and it was going to cost him $2,600.
