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.

He may be a socialist, but an affair several years ago and a subsequent reconcilliation makes this a non-issue for me; and I never cheated on my ex wife.

[rmlew]

As I said, rape scandal trumps blind mans corrupt affair.

[LiteKeeper]

I guess there is nothing new in New York!

[modest proposal]

oh it goes on everywhere.

choose your future spouse with much care. and even then it sometimes goes kaput.

i plan on finding a marriage to truly last till death do us part in complete fidelity though

why did post 5 get pulled? from what I can read from all the “to 5” posts, it looked fine.

[Eric Blair 2084]

Let see if this gets pulled. I have heard from completely unreliable sources that the woman Paterson had an affair with is none other than Rosie O.

Breaking News:

The guy must be blind.

But if you lust in your heart you’ve already committed adultery, no win situation.

I realized long ago that according to that nearly everyone has committed adultery.

[anymouse]

Jimmy Carter lusted after women, which is cheaper than actual consumation.

Carter never could get the job done. ;)

[luvie]

Thank you for clarity! Amen!

[river rat]

Apparently his “one-eyed snake” wasn’t blind...

[GVnana]

Sombody learned their lesson and is taking control.

[GVnana]

unless of course they expect the others involved to talk

But of course, these two people were sexually involved with other partners who were deeply committed and ethical people. I can't wait for the photos. /sarcasm>

[Republic of Texas]

I’m not defending adultery, and this guy may be a lib, but I have to give him props for candor.

Agreed.

Candor is admitting it BEFORE you are sworn in for Governor.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Hitting head against the wall...

According to Jay Leno, one of the drugs found in municipal drinking water was Viagra....

Senate Majority Leader Joe Bruno.
Gotta see what (or who) is in his closet!
Paterson’s Governorship depends on whether or not he used State $$ to enable his affair. If he did he is toast too. My guess is that Bruno may be behind (ahem) this.

Stay tuned!

[GeorgiaDawg32]

agreed..this story is a non-starter..

Just another P.O.S. democrat to be thrown out of Office.

Governor Paterson re-knoodled his wife in the same hotel he knoodled his mistress! Heck Paterson probably booked the same suite! - lol

As part of that relationship, Paterson said, he and the other woman sometimes stayed at an upper West Side hotel — the Days Inn at Broadway and W. 94th St. ...He and his wife went to the West Side Days Inn when they were trying to rekindle the romance in their marriage, he said.
