Eliot Spitzer aka Client 9 Likes his Prostitutes Pricey
Wall Street must be dancing today, because their bogeyman, Eliot Spitzer, has been caught with his pants down — literally. Well, okay, maybe not literally, but he was caught arranging by phone to get his pants down with a high-priced call girl last month. Today, the self-righteous Spitzer (who liked to style himself as a “crusader” i.e. ambitious political hack) aplogized publicly for boning a woman other than his wife, which is a damn shame as the wife still looked like she could go a few rounds, if you know what I mean. But hey, that’s a politician for ya. Was it any surprise that the guy who crusaded to destroy those “Wall Street villains” turned out to be a dude who likes to whore around behind his wife’s back? More on Spitzer, or as he’s known by the hos, Client 9, and his whoring ways.

An affidavit in the federal investigation into a prostitution ring said that a wiretap recording captured a man identified as Client 9 on a telephone call confirming plans to have a woman travel from New York to Washington, where he had reserved a hotel room. The person briefed on the case identified Mr. Spitzer as Client 9.
Mr. Spitzer today made a brief public appearance during which he apologized for his behavior, and described it as a “private matter.”
“I have acted in a way that violates my obligation to my family and violates my or any sense of right or wrong,” said Mr. Spitzer, who appeared with his wife Silda at his Manhattan office. “I apologize first and most importantly to my family. I apologize to the public to whom I promised better.”
“I have disappointed and failed to live up to the standard I expected of myself. I must now dedicate some time to regain the trust of my family.”
Although he partook in high-priced whoring, Spitzer apparently didn’t like it if YOU partook as well.
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.”
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer douche bag.
