It turns out that The Untouchable Gov. Eliot Spitzer can be touched, if he's in Room 871 of the Mayflower Hotel and willing to pay the right price. The New York governor's aides have admitted that he was involved with a prostitution ring. This came in the wake of being called out on it by the New York Times. It seems he was caught by the Feds scheduling to meet with an "Emperors Club VIP" call girl on the day before Valentine's Day.
How thoughtful.
Spitzer apologized to his family and the public as his wife stood at his side (as they always do) during a very short press conference. A little late in the game. Four VIP 'executives' were arrested under the aptly named federal Mann Act of 1910. This incident will provide lawmakers just one more reason to contract -- rather than expand -- federal wire-taping authority, especially for those times when the Emperors' subjects have no clothes.
