March 10, 2008 -- THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY. PLEASE REFRESH FOR UPDATES.

Gov. Eliot Spitzer offered a vague public apology today after he was linked
to an international call girl ring.

In a brief, cryptic statement broadcast on national television the
first-term governor, who attempted to make ethics the cornerstone of his
administration, said he "acted in a way that violates the obligations to my
family, that violates my or any sense of right and wrong."

News reports linked Spitzer to the indicted Emperors Club VIP, an upscale
escort service that supplied well-heeled johns "fashion models, pageant
winners and exquisite students." for up to $5,500 an hour.

to 'Client 9.'
