State of Affairs

There more information coming out about the latest NY governor to admit to extramarial affairs:

New Yorkers woke up Tuesday morning to learn that their governor had been having an extramarital affair for a number of years, and had met the other woman for trysts at an Upper West Side hotel, where they would stay together.

This was not the outgoing Gov. Spitzer, he of the high-priced call girls. It was David Paterson, the man sworn in Monday as the state's new Democratic governor.

Paterson confirmed the affair to the New York Daily News, which reported that Paterson's wife also acknowledged that she too had had affairs.

The couple said it all happened some years ago during difficulties in their marriage they both said have been overcome.

But it doesn't end there. In a news conference late Tuesday the governor said he was involved with numerous women, including a woman on the state payroll who worked in Spitzer's office at the time. That woman will presumably now work for Paterson.

If that wasn't enough, the northeast was also treated to the news that former New Jersey Governor turned Gay American James McGreevey had some joint "experiences" with both his wife and a young male aide. No wonder they call that the "Tri-State Area".
