'You Must Be Superman!'

Some newly-found respect for Eliot Spitzer? Well, at least he can man up, so to speak.

Disgraced ex-Gov. Eliot Spitzer once went on a hooker binge, ordering three prostitutes for separate interludes on a single day, an explosive new book says.

The Peter Elkind book, "Rough Justice: The Rise and Fall of Eliot Spitzer" -- not yet officially on sale but obtained by The Post -- reveals Spitzer's shocking frenzy while using the Emperors Club VIP.

Elkind chronicles the time "George Fox" -- Spitzer's alias -- booked an appointment at the Mark Hotel on the Upper East Side, a five-minute walk from the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

"As usual, he paid the girl in cash -- about $1,200 an hour. Not long after it was over, he called [the booker] back, wanting to see a second escort. 'Who else is around?' he asked. [The booker] made the arrangements. "Then, late that afternoon, [Spitzer] called again. 'You're going to think I'm crazy,' he began. 'But can you send somebody else right now?'

"He wanted a third girl? The booker chuckled: 'You must be Superman! [The booker] found him another girl."

The book also unveils the shame of Spitzer's wife, Silda. "On some level, this is my fault," Lloyd Constantine, Spitzer's onetime pal, claimed Silda told him. "The wife is supposed to take care of the sex . . . I wasn't adequate."

Seriously, why his wife stays around remains a mystery. Especially if she's around after reading the papers today.
