It Appears Spitzer Spent A Small Fortune On Call Girls

Jump to Comments

As pressure mounts for Governor Eliot Spitzer to vacate his post the actual amount he spent on call girls is coming out at upwards of $80,000. It appears he was a frequent customer of the prostitution ring being investigated.

Spitzer and his family are hiding away while the news buzzes in their Fifth Avenue apartment as the scandal rages on the tips of Democrats and Republicans tongues. Calls for the governor to resign or face impeachment hearings is the current talk of the town.

“Particularly because of the reform platform on which he was elected governor, his ability to govern the state of New York and execute his duties as governor have been irreparably damaged,” said Citizens Union, a good-government group that supported the crusading attorney general for governor in 2006 and provided critical support in his effort to reform Albany. “It is our strong belief that it is now impossible for him to fulfill his responsibilities as governor. Accordingly, Citizens Union urges him to resign as governor.”

Spitzer was caught on a wiretap spending $4,300 on “Kristin” and setting the remainder of that money on a tab for the next time he felt the urge. It’s coming out now that he used the Mayflower Hotel in Washington D.C. for himself and a prostitute sneaking away from his security detail to do the deed.

What appears to be the biggest shock in this scandal is the fact that Spitzer was known as “Mr. Clean.” It’s a newspaper dream when the hypocrisy comes from a married man who fought against crime is one of those nabbed.

“The irony and the hypocrisy is almost too good to be true,” said Bryn Dolan, a fundraiser who works with many Wall Street employees. “If he had any shame, he would’ve already resigned.”
