ALBANY - Gov. Paterson, who confessed to repeated infidelities last week, admitted tonight that he used cocaine and marijuana when he was in his 20s.
Paterson, 53, the former lieutenant governor who succeeded disgraced Gov. Spitzer last week, claimed on NY1 that he had only used cocaine "a couple of times" when he was "22 or 23" years of age.
He said he had only used marijuana "probably when I was about 20," adding, "I don't think I've touched marijuana since the late 70s."

That revelation comes next week.
Where's the popcorn boy?
Get him outta there...........!
LOL! Soon to be followed by, “I think he said, ‘The Sheriff is near!’”
same as NOT TO MY KNOWLEDGE...
PROOF that he's lying or he would of said he HASN'T!!!
Paterson is the east coast’s version of “Rocky Mountain High”, with an emphasis on the “high”.
Damned. The Big Apple state is getting more rotten by the minute.
Re “Anything else he’d like to confess to?”
yes:
The disappearance of Judge Crater, the Black Dahlia Murder, knows where Jimmy Hoffa is buried (and buried and buried), the secrets of Area 51 and the Bermuda Triangle, and why New York Democrats are such crooks and adulterers.
Totally agree.
Don't worry. They are coming and it's only a matter of time before they get there.
“That stuff was pretty commonplace back in the 70s if you were in that age bracket.”

You could possibly consider marijuana as commonplace ‘back then’, but not cocaine.
His mother told him that he’d go blind if he didn’t stop doing all that blow.....
You couldn’t make this stuff up,
and if you did - you would be accused of being a KKK racist casting insults at black politicians.....
Black politicians and black “preachers” have done far more harm to struggling blacks than all the KKK Night Riders and plantation overlords could have ever hoped to accomplish..
MLK’s plea to judge people by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin — wouldn’t allow many of today’s black politicians, leaders or “preachers” to hold their current positions...... Would it?
LOL...no...that must have been the Eighties...
Screw u Moron
Sure there is. All the New Yorkers are packing to go back there even as I type this. :)
No kidding! Did the guy think he moved in to the governor’s mansion or a confessional?
What is the point of bringing up every sin you have ever committed in your whole life?
