Paterson's greatest sin is not that he was horny. Rather, he's cheap.
It's as if he were in competition with New Jersey's deposed gay governor, Jim McGreevey, who engaged in sexual ménages à trois with his wife and his hot, male driver following dinner at that fine wings-and-skins emporium, TGI Friday's.
Paterson's tastes were so low-rent, he made up with his wife, Michelle, with an intimate liaison at the same Manhattan Days Inn where he met with various women whose names escape.
Days Inn, David? Was Motel 6 booked?
There is one more thing you need to know about New York's latest middle-aged hound dog: He blames his wife.
"I was pretty upset and I was kind of just angry and for a period of time I was using poor judgment," Paterson said, explaining why he had to be unfaithful.
"I wasn't reckless. I was jealous over Michelle. But it was not Michelle's fault." Nice.
We are rapidly growing desensitized to chief executives whose carnal needs trump common sense. It appears that a state position and the ability to twist arms is all it takes for a public servant to get laid while on the clock.
Paterson admitted he helped a lover afflicted with an unspecified medical problem get special treatment at work. It seems a roll in the hay, and a word from the then-state senator, got the lady's problem fixed.
Lost in the hubbub of the latest Love Gov is the fact that the man had children - a boy who was between 5 and 7 when Paterson commenced his activities, plus a stepdaughter.
But you heard him. It's nobody's business.

“... It’s nobody’s business”
if you are going to be a mayor, governor or president of this country, it is everybody’s business!!!
I don’t like sleezeballs doing the people’s business. If they choose public life they had better clean up!

In New York - Everybody Does It.
New York City = Gomorrah
That's a totally absurd statement.
If he'd gone to 5 star hotels, he'd be faulted for being too extravagant. More seriously, there'd be lots of questions about just who was paying for the expensive trysting places.
There are enough real issues, without going after the red herrings.

Andrea’s obvious dated a few “cheapos.” Let it go, Andrea. Let it go.
I’ve eaten at that TGI Friday’s in Woodbridge NJ. I hope they cleaned all the silverware very thoroughly after the McGreevey’s visits! Ecch!
When a man seeks a public trust he then looses all rights to privacy. For how are the people to judge his worthiness of that trust except through a good look at how he handles himself in his private life? If his spouse can not trust him can the people? If he cheats in business or at cards and golf should the people put their tax dollars in his hands? What if he practices deceit in order to gain money and power? What if he uses his power and money to careers and lives? What a man does in private is very much the public's business when that man wants their trust.
Well they are in competition. New Jersey will not be out-trashed by upstarts from New York. They have a reputation to uphold. Jersey will show those amateurs what sleaze and corruption are all about. Spitzer and Paterson will look like they brought a knife to a gunfight.
Just checked the rates at the Manhattan Days Inn (the one listed as New York City - Broadway). The very cheapest room for two adults is $179.10 a (week) night. If you want a queen bed, which I suppose the Lt-Gov might have needed for Miss Olympic Athlete, it's $188.10 before taxes, which wouls surely push it over $200. That may be declasse cheap by Spitzer standards, but Joe Sixpack from Rochester probably thinks that's more than enough of his tax money.
