This is pretty prolific stuff for a guy who is supposed to be blind!

He didn't specify with whom or what he was having these affairs, did he?

The article says "women." I'm not certain if transgenders are ruled out by that description.

>> With over 50% of married American men admitting they have cheated on their wives... <<

CORRECTION:

With over 50% of a certain magazine’s readership claiming in the 1970s claiming they cheated on their wives...

And let’s not forget that was in the middle of the sexual liberation / no-fault divorce era, so the magazine had motivations for playing fast and loose with the survey.

I like Gene Simmons...he is actually one of the more politically conservative
rock stars.


OK, I was being a bit flippant mentioning Simmons in connection
with high-office sex-capades.

I've probably watched a max of 3 hours of Simmons' show on A&E,
but did catch his (and his daughter's) "boot camp" experience and
show for the military.

New Yorkers are going to have a hard long 18 months with this guy.

You miscalculated. His term - barring re-election - doesn't expire until the end of 2010. That gives him 33+ additional months, which will make things nearly twice as bad.

Because she was doing the chauffeur in the next room.

Unlike NJ's Gov. McGreavey, who did the chauffeur and his wife at the same time.

*******An affair(s) is not the same as paying many thousands to an illegal prostitute ring.*******

Maybe you have a point there. I wanted to add Paterson to the list of govs. we don’t need. On second thought maybe his sex partners paid him. Now that’s a guy who may be a smart gov.—take money in for NYS instead of paying it out.

New York Governors - they just keep coming, and coming, and coming.

That the Big Sh*tty voting population can’t do any better than a black, blind, philanderer to replace white, short-sighted, philanderer who just left the Governor’s office says much about the Big Sh*tty mentality.

One could make a case that what Dr. King meant when he wanted a color blond America was an America where philanderers of any color, visual acuity, etc, would not be elected to high office.

Having driven my Volkswagen MicroBus to the first March On Washington, I don’t remember any speaker who announced his past affairs, let alone affairs with subordinate employees.

Better idea—send Fwank to a prison and room him with several bubbas. Fwank will be one happy stud.

In a frightening nightmare I found myself looking at a mirrored ceiling stark naked, and discovered that I am a Negro who is circumcised. I felt depressed, downcast, sitting in a chair-—a wheelchair. That meant besides being Black and Jewish, I’m also disabled. I said aloud ‘This is impossible.”

” No senor, it eesn’t,” whispers someone from behind me. I turn around to see my Mexican boyfriend.....so.....I am a Black homosexual, Jewish, disabled, gay, with an illegal boyfriend, a drug problem, and HIV-positive. I tried to pull out my hair but find I’m bald.

The telephone rings. It’s my brother: “Since mom and dad died the only thing you do is hang out, take drugs, and laze around all day. Get a job you worthless piece of crap. Now I fimd I’m an unemployed orphan. I try to explain to my brother how hard it is to find a job when you are Black, Jewish, disabled, gay with a Mexican boyfriend, and a drug addict, HIV positive, bald, and orphaned. But he doesn’t get it. I hang up. It’s then I realize I only have one hand.

With tears in my eyes look out the window. I live in a shanty-town of cardboard and tin houses. There’s trash
everywhere. Suddenly I feel a sharp pain near my pacemaker.... Besides being black, Jewish, disabled, a fairy with an illegal boyfriend, a drug addict, HIV positive, bald, orphaned, unemployed, an invalid with one hand, who lives in a slum, I have a bad heart.

At that moment my boyfriend says to me, “Sweets, my little enchilada, did you decide who are you going to vote for in the Primary? Hillary or Obama?

OMG, I can handle being a Black, disabled, one armed, drug addicted, Jewish queer on a pacemaker who is HIV positive, bald, orphaned, unemployed, lives in a slum, and has an illegal boyfriend..........but please, oh dear God, please don’t tell me I’m a DEMOCRAT....
