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.

It isn't in today's increasingly immoral society.

Jimmah Cahtah was a cheap tipper. I guess it naturally follows.

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

Hey--Obama is trying that approach: "I never heard the Rev. Wright make those statements." I think we've hit upon the new democrat logo:

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.

You are absolutely right! We have so come to accept sin in our land that we have LOST our moral compass!!!

[reagandissiple]

it gets interesting. It's possible that Paterson may have used "state" or "campaign" money to pay for a hotel stay in 2001 (from the NY Daily News article):

Records show that in September 2001, then-Sen. Paterson's campaign spent $456.46 for two nights at what was then called the Quality Hotel at 215 W. 94th St.

One check was dated Sept. 10 — the day before the 9/11 attacks — and the other Sept. 24. Both are listed as "office" expenses.

Not too sure if its adultery if his wife knew about it

What kind of logic are you employing?

a·dul·ter·y /əˈdʌltəri/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[uh-duhl-tuh-ree] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation –noun, plural -ter·ies. voluntary sexual intercourse between a married person and someone other than his or her lawful spouse.

Says nothing about anyone knowing or not knowing about it.

You need to re-read your tagline... and God Luvs America but HATES her sin.... believe me! Polly

NOW he spills the beans? He wasn’t man enough to own up to it BEFORE he was sworn in?

[Young Scholar]

If there’s one thing you can find anywhere in the country—irrespective of geography—it’s adultery.

[NonValueAdded]

If they were legally separated then it is not adultery in the eyes of the law, only the Lord.

[Rightone]

So, his wife kept him in the dark regarding her relationship?

[Thrownatbirth]

It’s all a pre-emptive diversion to hide the fact that he smokes.

[randita]

And Lucy/Desi and Dick/Laura slept in separate twin beds. Where has all the innocence gone?

[elpadre]

“....Not too sure if its adultery if his wife knew about it...”

who knows has nothing to do with it. If he had intercourse with a woman while still married to another woman it is Adultery, with a capital “A.”

And don't try to soften it with other words. Adultery is Adultery and one who engages in it is an Adulterer. That should now be part of his description whenever his name appears.(ditto - the Adulterous wife)

Was her name Kristin? Ashley?

Now we know why Spitz picked him for a running mate. Reckon they double-dated much???
