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."

When the SCALE of damage done to America’s black families by encouraging the “we’re owed” mentality and the don’t mimic “whitey,” blame “whitey” — rather than get an education or a job -— has led to an ever worsening condition for young blacks.
The incarceration rates, the violent death statistics, the >70% fatherless children, rates of drug abuse, the horrible STD rates, AIDS, Unemployment, etc, etc.... are ALL the consequences of following the wrong advice of their “leaders” and “preachers” and remaining on the DNC plantation and waiting to be rescued..
It ain’t gonna happen.....
Ask the folks in New Orleans.....
Yes — Liberalism and black racism have done far more harm than did the KKK...in my opinion.
Or has family and friends they care about.
You stay classy New York!
8 years ago Bush almost lost because of a DWI 20+ years before he ran. Now these Rats can do anything they want and nobody cares.
Maybe this is all a ploy to get himself on Hillary’s short list for VP, in case Hillary wins the nomination (since it doesn’t look like Obama would take the #2 slot).
LMAO
Yea OK, whatever.
The Gov being blind, an aide must have mentioned he could trip over all the skeletons in his closet. Spring cleaning. Next, he will tell Greta where Natalie Holloway and Stacy Peterson are located.
It's kind of funny, isn't it. A blind Democrat Governor of New York is trying to pull the wool over OUR eyes...
“There’s a strange drug in my pipe. Somebody’s dope that I can’t see.”
My apologies to Ronnie Milsap!
At this rate he might be found in bed with both a dead girl and a live boy before June.....in a hotel room paid for by taxpayer or campaign funds..... surrounded by cocaine, heroin, and maybe some methamphetamine for good luck.
And then the jerk Governor goes and does something that makes it necessary for him to resign ...!!
This guy sounds like Richard Pryor. Does he know any good jokes?
