It's always exciting when major sex scandals elsewhere turn out to have local connections. If you somehow haven't been inundated with the news already for the past couple of hours, New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer has publicly apologized after having been caught on a federal wiretap arranging for a prostitute to meet him in a hotel room. Turns out, the hotel room in question was right here in D.C., though it's unclear which hotel that might have been. Spitzer stayed at the historic Renaissance Mayflower Hotel on Connecticut Ave. on Feb. 13, the night in question, but hotel records show the room number the prostitute allegedly visited was registered under a different name that night.
