Sex and Politics is a nasty combination as evidenced by the New York Governorship.  Like a Soap Opera getting weirder by the hour, newly sworn Governor, David A Paterson, openly acknowledged his own extramarital affairs during a 15 year marriage.  This stunning admission comes a little more than a week after his predecessor, former Gov. Eliot Spitzer, resigned amid allegations he spent thousands of dollars on a prostitute.  

To be honest, I Feel Relatively Neutral About New York
And yes, I already bought this T-Shirt

Paterson admitted to the Daily News of New York City that his fling with another women occurred between 1999 and 2001.  Apparently, Paterson’s wife also had an affair during this stormy part of their relationship.  A wacky situation indeed!

As a legislative member, Paterson claims those extramarital romps came out of his wallet and not at the tax payers expense.  If caught using State funds, his tenure as Governor will be less than a New York minute or worse. 

Given the weirdness of the past week, I really hope Gov. Paterson is telling the truth because I don’t want to know what other skeletons may be hiding in his closet.
