NY- Disgraced Gov. Spitzer dropped up to $80,000 on sex with prostitutes, sources revealed this week.

Spitzer, a millionaire, was hopping into bed with harlots for as long as 10 years and traveled as far as Florida for call-girl trysts, sources said.

The prostitute-patronizing former prosecutor spent Tuesday huddled with top aides and lawyers in his Fifth Avenue apartment – trying to arrange a plea deal under which he’d resign his office but avoid prison time – as he desperately clung to power despite growing cries for his departure, even among fellow Democrats.

One top aide said Spitzer likely would resign Wednesday.

But the governor gave no indication as to what he’ll do next – even as Republicans in the state Legislature threatened to begin impeachment proceedings within the next 24 hours.

And despite the firestorm, some of Spitzer’s aides were whispering that the embattled governor could try to finish out the remaining three years of his term. “If the public is fine, he’ll stay,” said a prominent Democrat.

Political leaders and average New Yorkers continued to express shock at the bombshell revelation that Spitzer was the quot;Client 9quot; caught on a federal wiretap arranging for a high-priced call girl to be sent from New York to his Washington hotel.
