The day after he was sworn in to replace a governor who left office in disgrace because of a prostitution scandal, Gov. David A. Paterson admitted that he had had relationships with women other than his wife, including one who is on the state payroll. Mr. Paterson made the disclosure at a news conference at the State Capitol, accompanied by his wife, Michelle, who held his hand as they entered the Red Room. “I betrayed a commitment to my wife several years ago,” Mr. Paterson said with his wife...

It doesn't matter to me. If Albanites feel overwhelmed, maybe they should just get over it already. Jesus Christ!

Members of government have genitalia and human flaws like the rest of us?
I suppose that revelation is minblowing to the 34% of people who still support President Curious George and Dick man-in-the-yellow-hat Cheney.

Who cares? Not I. Sex scandals are what they use to distract the masses from the corporate welfare that is making you poorer each and every day for at least the last seven years.

When Patterson tells me he doesn't give a shit what his minister/priest/rabbi says (or does), then move over Obama, I'm voting for the new Guv of NY to be Prez. How refreshing. And uncomplicated.

Anyone who was unpopular in high school could've seen this coming.

You gotta be proud of them for their honesty. Let's hope it starts a new trend: being open about the skanky stuff you did before it becomes a crazy finger-pointing scandal.

How come there aren't any Governors who swing?

The couple seems to still be together. Who cares? Not even the hypocrisy of Spitzer bothered me, it was the fact he used government money to buy the sex. The hatred Americans have for the body amazes me. I'm wondering if the oversexualization of our culture might be a good thing for the younger generation. Someone admits to ever having sex outside of marriage? Who cares! What do they have to contribute as a public servant.
