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. (1 image)

NY times has the story up now: Spitzer Is Linked to Prostitution Ring .

Spitzer announcement scheduled for 2:15. He must be making it right now.

To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.

Mr. Spitzer, a first-term Democrat who pledged to bring ethics reform and end the often seamy ways of Albany, is married with three children.

Like most if not all prominent New York Democrats, Spitzer has been supporting Hillary Clinton's campaign.

He's a Democrat, so his prostitutes will most likely be women.

It's the GOP (Grand Old Pedophiles) who like boys.

You know, when I first heard about this I was of the opinion that it's another bullshit victimless crime, but then it dawned on me...this slime is a lawyer. Not only that, but he's a lawyer who made a name for himself causing other people to hire lawyers for the same thing. After that I was all ahahahahahahahahaha!

He finally pissed off the wrong people. All the bid wig CEO's and such, are laughing their ass's off. Somebody called in their favors, and shook the skeletons out of his closet.

The question would be of course is: What action pissed them off enough to where he had to be taken down?

I think you are right that there is a reason the question is what is the reason?

Federal investigators apparently intercepted the guy's instant messages. And now a U.S. Attorney is starting to prosecute people involved in the ring.

Remind you of any federal programs in the news of late?

ah, yeah, including the prosecution of two prostitution rings when he was atty general. but you know, laws are for everyone else, not them.

I saw some article a week or so ago about some sort of device that can read a cell phone's archived text messages, including deleted ones. This is at the user level; so if you want to see if your spouse or girlfriend is messing around have at it.

I have no doubt the goobermint vacuums up all text messages somewhere in their massive databases.

He had an unreal ability to make enemies, that's why it's hard to imagine this was accidental.

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?
