Eliot "Mess" Spitzer Threw Governor's Keys In The (Prostitution) Ring

"NY Governor Linked to Prostitution Ring" from AP reports that New York Governor Eliot Spitzer has admitted to being involved in a prostitution ring - inciting calls for his resignation.  It is ironic, given that he has built his political career on cleaning up corruption, especially in the business world. 

Spitzer could resign tonight - WCBS News - if he does, Lt. Governor David Paterson takes over.

Spitzer's involvement in the ring was caught on a federal wiretap as part of an investigation opened in recent months, according to a law enforcement official who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing inquiry.

The New York Democrat, identified in legal papers as "Client 9," met last month with at least one woman in a Washington hotel, the law enforcement official said.

The prostitution ring, identified in court papers as the Emperors Club VIP, arranged connections between wealthy men and more than 50 prostitutes in New York, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, Miami, London and Paris, prosecutors said. Four people allegedly connected to the high-end ring were arrested last week.
