Governor Eliot Spitzer Involved in Prostitution Ring?

Eliot Spitzer involved in a prostitution ring? The New York Times is reporting that they were told by an anonymous official in Spitzer's administration that he told his top administration officials that, indeed, he was involved in a prostitution ring. This, seemingly, developed after very recent numerous inquiries of him by the Times about the matter. The New York Times is the first to break the story.

The New York Post also added the oft-heard description of Governor Spitzer's administration that his was an administration of ethics reform. Many in New York , whether, or not, they voted for him heard the same recurring theme; his administration would be a legacy of cleaning up the ethics of state government, and ethical reform as a whole, just as he'd come to have a reputation as when serving as NY State Attorney General.

Too, Time magazine touted Spitzer "Crusader of the Year."

This coming after he and his administration waged several headlining battles with Wall Street to "root out corruption."

Update: In a hastily called news conference, which turned out to be extremely brief, and televised on ABC7 New York, Governor Spitzer only offered his apology to his family, and to everyone for violating the public's trust.
