New York Gov. Paterson Reveals Marital Affairs
Talk about full disclosure.
New York's new governor, David Paterson, and his wife Michelle nipped scandal in the bud when they fessed up to prior affairs. They brought the skeletons out of the closet -- and danced with them for all to see -- on the Governor's second day in office.
Married for 15 years, both admitted to straying. He apparently strayed more.
One can only guess that after Governor Spitzer resigned over a scandal related to call girls and paid sex, that simple marital infidelity does not look so bad.
People always seems shocked when politicians have affairs. I always say, if a man is hungry for the power of office you can bet that he will either be so consumed by it that he will be asexual (remember Ed Koch?) or he will, like so many politicians, be a tad over-sexed and occasionally driven by a hunger to reach for forbidden fruit.
Of course, in this case, it sounded like Governor Patterson just needed a cuddle and some attention.
So far, we like our new governor. He's setting the new trend for people of color and people with disabilities. And wow, he's honest. So heck, he might as well go down in history as the governor who has the most (unpaid) girlfriends, on the side.
God bless the first family of New York.
