New York Times reports Gov. Eliot Spitzer admits involvement in a prostitution ring.

UPDATE BY BRENDAN: Josh Marshall: "Fox saying Spitzer will resign; me saying, no kidding."

UPDATE 2: Here’s his statement. No resignation yet, just an apology, and a statement that "I will report back to you in short order." Whatever that means.

More details from the Times on what happened:

Gov. Eliot Spitzer has been caught on a federal wiretap arranging to meet with a
high-priced prostitute at a Washington hotel last month, according to a
person briefed on the federal investigation.

The wiretap recording, made during an investigation of a
prostitution ring called Emperors Club VIP, captured a man identified
as Client 9 on a telephone call confirming plans to have a woman travel
from New York to Washington, where he had reserved a room. The person
briefed on the case identified Mr. Spitzer as Client 9.

The Smoking Gun has more on Emperors Club VIP, "which charged up to $5500 an hour for one of its 50 prostitutes, who
operated in New York, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, London, and Paris." And TPM Muckraker has more on "Client 9."

Anyway, back to the Times article…

The
governor learned that he had been implicated in the prostitution probe
when a federal official contacted his staff last Friday, according to
the person briefed on the case.

The governor informed his top
aides Sunday night and this morning of his involvement. He canceled his
public events today and scheduled an announcement for this afternoon
after inquiries from the Times.

The governor’s aides appeared shaken, and one of them began to weep as
they waited for him to make his statement at his Manhattan office. Mr.
Spitzer was seen leaving his Fifth Avenue apartment just before 3 p.m.
with his wife of 21 years, Silda, heading to the news conference.

The Times was apparently working this story all night yesterday, and they’re expecting another long night tonight. A memo has been sent out to the staff: "Obviously, we’re going to have much late news, thanks to the governor.
So we really need you to file all nonrelated stories as early as
possible. It’s going to be a long night…."
