Oh Snap of the Week


New York Governor Eliot Spitzer has admitted involvement in a prostitution ring, The New York Times reports.

Spitzer, who is married with three daughters, was scheduled to make an announcement Monday afternoon. Spitzer officials wouldn't immediately comment on the story.

The Times reported that a person with knowledge of the governor's role believes the governor is identified as a client in court papers. Four people allegedly connected to a high-end prostitution ring called Emperors Club VIP were arrested last week.

The Web site of the Emperors Club VIP displays photographs of scantily clad women with their faces hidden, along with hourly rates depending on whether the prostitutes were rated with one diamond, the lowest ranking, or seven diamonds, the highest. The most highly ranked prostitutes cost $5,500 an hour, prosecutors said.

Where is a Governor supposed to get his hookers - the street corner?! This Emperors Club VIP sounds like a classy operation befitting such a high-ranking government official. Good on you sir!
