In a press conference that goes on as we speak, New York Governor Eliot Spitzer has admitted to being one of the clients in a prostitution ring. A federal wiretap caught the governor making plans with a high-priced prostitute in Wahington last month. Just today, he made plans with his senior advisers to discuss the career-damaging revelation.
According to CNN.com, Spitzer has apologized to both his wife and three daughters as well as the public for his indiscretions.
More will be posted as more is revealed!
UPDATE:
Here is Governor Spitzer's statement regarding his involvement in the prostitution ring:
"Today, I want to briefly address a private matter. I have acted in a way that violated the obligations to my family and that violates my — or any — sense of right and wrong. I apologize first, and most importantly, to my family. I apologize to the public, whom I promised better. I do not believe that politics in the long run is about individuals. It is about ideas, the public good and doing what is best for the State of New York. But I have disappointed and failed to live up to the standard that I expect of myself. I must now dedicate some time to regain the trust of my family. I will not be taking questions. Thank you very much. I will report back to you in short order. Thank you very much."
