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.

mo here

[Dysart]

I can understand him turning a blind eye to her indiscretions, but her? Go figure.

[ConservaTexan]

Since he’s a democrat This ought to wrap up his spot as Obama’s VP.

[Clintonfatigued]

Well, that didn’t take long.

[SeafoodGumbo]

Ridin' Dirty

[Behind Liberal Lines]

Big deal. He and his wife were having problems. There’s no indication that he broke the law or used tax money and he admitted it.

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

[garyhope]

What the hell is in the water there in New York?

NY state, the capitol of hot pants.

[Rodm]

NYC = Sin City East

[cblue55]

yip yip yip yip ya-hoo! This is news???

[Clintonfatigued]

“I can understand him turning a blind eye to her indiscretions”

GROAN!!!!!!!!!!

[Fox_Mulder77]

Is there something in the water in N.Y.?

[Las Vegas Dave]

Pooof! My thread was gone.............in maybe three minutes??

[The_Republican]

He is fly for a blind guy.

[Sirloin]

Not too sure if its adultery if his wife knew about it, but I agree, it is good that he fessed up before another scandal rocked NY.

[RegT]

Compared to the Emperors Club VIP, this seems somewhat anti-climactic. I think by getting it out in the open on his first day in office he has effectively diffused the issue.

[pillut48]

Culture of Corruption! Culture of Corruption!!

[Dante3]

I doubt he will resign.

[trumandogz]

We should impeach every public office holder who has ever had an extramarital affair.

[umgud]

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

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Glad they worked it out. Not only for the kids, but they acted like adults, sought counseling (when needed) and worked through a tough time in their marriage. Can't say I know what they went though, but congrats to them for sticking with it.

[the invisib1e hand]

the Brits were right, when Clinton was let off.

"America Makes Peace with Adultery. Again."

Thanks for making it mainstream, Mr. and Mrs. Clinton.

You're a disgrace.

[Fox_Mulder77]

ROTFLMAO!!!!!
And feeling guilty for it.

[oldfart]

I wonder if the people of New York would be interested in renaming Albany as “Xanadu”?

[InvisibleChurch]

who’s next in line after him?

[VRWC For Truth]

Is this from the Onion? Can we get Klintoon to weigh in on the subject? Pathetic.

[Old Sarge]

Let’s rename the Governor’s mansion - “THE PLEASURE DOME”

[Irishgirl]

At first I thought this had to be from Scrappleface. Good grief!

[hellbender]

Paterson said he maintained a relationship for two or three years with "a woman other than my wife"

Was her name Kristin? Ashley?

[AppyPappy]

Asked if he had stayed with anyone else since 2001 at the same West Side hotel, Paterson said, “From time to time I used to take Michelle to that hotel.”

Notice he didn't answer "No" to the question

sorry...not a big deal.... 

 

 

[Santa Fe_Conservative]

There probably wouldn’t be one left!

[exit82]

At least he didn’t try the “ I’m legally blind and I couldn’t tell it wasn’t my wife” approach.

[Clintonfatigued]

You gotta love New York!

[Las Vegas Dave]

For Republicans, scandal will have them thrown out of office.

For democRATS, it's a resume enhancer..

[the invisib1e hand]

NY state, the capitol of hot pants.

Albany. It's Albany.

[A_Former_Democrat]

I wonder if they ever did it with the lights on?

[metmom]

In a second interview with Paterson and his wife Monday, only hours after he was sworn in to replace scandal-scarred Eliot Spitzer, Michelle Paterson confirmed her husband’s account.

I heard this was going to happen, and I've been watching FOXNews.com and MSNBC.com and they've had NOTHING about it.

The only breaking news I saw one have was about some divorce settlement for Paul McCartney.

You'd think nothing happened in NY.

Geez, talk about priorities.

[colonialhk]

He needed to be clear he had what it takes to be a Dem Governor

[We Dare Defend Our Rights]

Do they have zippers on pants in New York?

[tips up]

He is smart to get it out there now, rather than have this used against him. Now it’s basically a non story.

[jws3sticks]

As has been written many times before, you could not write a better script. What a howl.

It's a Hillary's fault. LOL, for sure.

[nuconvert]

if they split up for a time and both did their own thing and then got back together, this really is their own business.

[rabscuttle385]

Sometimes the jokes just write themselves.

[Mr. Brightside]

What do they say, “Even a blind squirrel can find an acorn every once and a while.”

[al baby]

Well what do we do with the other half ?

[montag813]

In college we always said “a 2 at 10 is a 10 at 2” because of beer goggles. But this guy could be with a total dog and never know it!

[reagandissiple]

He’s blind. Maybe he thought she was his wife?

J/k. Nothing against Paterson’s blindness.

[al baby]

Did you read Dear Abby this morning ?

[boomop1]

Democrats are degenerates we just dream. But if you lust in your heart you’ve already committed adultery, no win situation.
