Governor Eliot Spitzer of New York revealed today that he has been unambiguously linked to a prostitution ring. The governor allegedly told his administrators of the news early this morning.
He said, "I have acted in a way that violates my obligation to my family...I must now dedicate my time to regain the trust of my family... I failed to live up to the standard I expected of myself." Governor Spitzer continued by apologizing not only to his family, but to the public as well.
The prostitution ring is allegedly called The Emperor's Club. In short, it provides women for wealthy men. Govenor Spitzer was apparently caught either calling or text messaging a woman. The governor, who was in Washington at the time, had asked this woman to meet him at a specific hotel.
Spitzer has yet to resign. In the brief statement he gave to the public, he noted that he would "report back later." Next to him stood his wife, her eyes cast downward, her golden-brown hair tarnished under the pale light. Spitzer has been married for over 25 years and has 3 children.
Governor Spitzer made ethics a bulwark of his campaign, advocating "squeaky clean, free of corruption legislations." Only the future will reveal what full effect this hypocritical movement will have. As of now, many citizens believe that he must,ultimately, resign.
I will update you further as more information becomes available. To Silda Wall Spitzer and her children, I am sorry. Good luck in the coming days.
