New York's newly minted governor says he had affairs with several women, including a state employee.

The admission comes a day after Gov. David Paterson was inaugurated and disclosed at least one extramarital affair to reporters.

Including a state employee?

Is this going to keep dribbling out until he’s pushed out of office too? Is there a dead girl somewhere? A live boy? What will he say tomorrow?

I guess that when you’re legally blind, you don’t have a problem getting women to take off their clothes.

Unless he's caught with a live prostitute in bed, Paterson is safe.

Something in the water??

Went from one to several in less than 24 hours. And, one with a government worker. I guess the governors’ office will be like the Clinton Oval Office.

LOL! He is playing with house money! Next guy in line is Bruno!

Is this going to keep dribbling out until he’s pushed out of office too?

And then Joe Bruno would be Governor?

Now that would be some salt for Spitzer's wounds.

Show of hands please: Everyone who has ever slept with the governor of a large state ...

Maybe he was practicing his braille-reading abilities on their naughty bits?

[george76]

Paterson has been hailed as a politician of integrity and a man who can build consensus in Albany after a tumultuous year under Spitzer.

Now he can screw everyone in the state.

Paterson and the other woman sometimes stayed at a Days Inn on Manhattan's Upper West Side, the governor said, adding that his Albany staff sometimes stayed there as well when they were in the city. Paterson said he did not use government or campaign funds to pay for the romantic encounters.

Audit.

we have to learn to take all of this in context. s\

He thought he was having an affair, but it was his wife just pretending.
