Spitzer used best friend’s name as an alias!


That's what friends are for?


Other friends?

George Fox, a friend and campaign contributor of New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, said he was disappointed and distressed by a report that said Spitzer used his name as an alias when contacting a prostitution ring.

Fox, a hedge fund investor, said the discovery of his name in the sex scandal engulfing Spitzer “comes as a great surprise and disappointment.”

“There is absolutely no connection between Mr. Fox and the governor’s alleged activity beyond the unauthorized use of his name,” said a statement issued by a public relations firm representing Fox…

The New York Times reported on Monday that Spitzer had hired a $1,000-an-hour prostitute and was caught on a federal wiretap at least six times last month arranging to meet her at a Washington hotel where he used Fox’s name to rent the room.
