Here we go again. New Jersey is just trying to knock NY out of the news. Look for a story about some NY pol with bestiality in the mix.
Mmmm. Not quite:
The thunderous applause was still ringing in his ears when the state’s new governor, David Paterson, told the Daily News that he and his wife had extramarital affairs.
In a stunning revelation, both Paterson, 53, and his wife, Michelle, 46, acknowledged in a joint interview they each had intimate relationships with others during a rocky period in their marriage several years ago.
In the course of several interviews in the past few days, Paterson said he maintained a relationship for two or three years with “a woman other than my wife,” beginning in 1999.Days Inn at Broadway and W. 94th St.
He said members of his Albany legislative staff often used the same hotel when they visit the city.
“This was a marriage that appeared to be going sour at one point,” Paterson conceded in his first interview Saturday. “But I went to counseling and we decided we wanted to make it work. Michelle is well aware of what went on.”

I think New Jersey wins this round, though.
racist
Paterson doesn’t want to deal with this in the future, or by drip-drip-drip. It’s his marriage, and he wasn’t paying for it, which is apparently a horrible crime, so we should get over it.
Got nothin’ to say; I’m from Califo . . . oops.
– The writers strike is certainly having some unforeseen effects, Hope they get it settled before we run out of politicians.
[…] least in new New York Governor David Paterson’s defense, his wife cheated on him […]
East Coast pikers.
In Detroit, they’ve got corpses.
Now that’s how to have a scandal.
“But I went to counseling and we decided we wanted to make it work. Michelle is well aware of what went on.â€Â
The Michelle that he is referring to isn’t his wife. It was his mistress. Michelle Obama.
New York wins.
He didn’t use campaign funds/public funds to hire prostitutes and prosecute people for prostitution while he was hiring them, which is the real Spitzer crime. That and being a monumental prick.
Oh yeah? Well I often drive 40 mph in a 35 mph zone. And, uh, I keep library books past their due date. And sometimes, I exaggerate business expenses on my taxes.
That’s right. I’m bad.

I could easily accept this…
Except that his “wife” now has the potential of earning “millions” merely on his name as “Governor”.- Is Mrs Paterson truly in a 100% “open marriage”- or is she just “retroactively approving his affairs” now that she might be able to “cash in”?
I hate “blowing” my tags– yet, I’m NOT “homophobic”! (43 and ‘never married’- and you know that means I’m surely “gay”…)

I can certainly see why Paterson would do it. Someone would dig up the dirt and much better to control it as much as possible.
As confessions go though… maintaining a relationship isn’t the same as hiring a prostitute. For one thing it’s not actually illegal.
I say it’s a conspiracy. Like, hey, look at this GAY PORN COCK OF LIES! – never mind all those little political balls over there in your country.
Let the “rocky period” begin!
“Honey, you know I love you and all that”.
“Okay, Enoch… ”
“But I am feeling… I dunno… a kind of ‘rocky period’ coming on and all”
“Huh?”
“You know, like a ‘rocky period’ in our marriage.”
“Uh-huh”
“And, well, given that there seems to be a rocky period coming, I was just wondering if maybe the best way to deal with it would be… you know…”
“Enoch: you’ve been reading Protein Wisdom again, haven’t you?”
“Well, sure, but I don’t think that that has anything to do wi…”
“Enoch. Can I be honest with you?”
“Sure, my love.”
“No offense, but you’re… well, you’re not really a Spring chicken… and our marriage is as strong as ever.”
“Well, I dunno about the first part. What if I suck in my gut?”
“Erm… ”
“What? Was that some sort of fat joke?”
“Kind of. Anyway, just …”
“Well, shit, honey… what about the ‘rocky part’?”
“If it makes you feel better, you can just pretend there is a ‘rocky part’.”
“Honey…”
“Seriously. There’s some KY in the bathroom.”
“Jeez. You’re no fun.”
“You, Enoch, are not normal.”
“I know.”
“Goodnight, Enoch.”
“Goodnight, Dear.”
