   Yeeesh!

   Wonder if those “other things” introduced had anything to do with taking the New York power grid down a few years back….

   Total overkill.

   He’s a remarkable man in his own right, and no need for the personal details.

   Vetting, scrutinizing, etc. are proper, but is “complete candor” now becoming the politically correct thing to do?

   Aside, I am growing weary of hearing “the first black governor” stuff — compare to TV news anchors … how long has it been since we have heard “the first ___ news person” ??

   When asked if she worried about “other women,” given how much time she and her husband spend apart, she replied, “Not really. I have a philosophy in life: You have to let people live their life. I feel my husband loves me and is devoted to the family. And I know he loves me. I am not going to worry about that stuff.”

   until he brings home the clap..

   Ummm….
   Let people live their life?

   I’m no expert, having been married only (just shy of) 31 years (I was 23, my wife was 20 on our wedding day, which was her birthday); but, I thought the point of a loving marriage was that two lives become one.

   …Or, did I miss something somewhere?

   Maybe what Mrs. Paterson meant was that one spouse should not try to exert total control over the other.
   But, that’s very different from saying that the spouse has to be allowed to live his (her) life.

   Somebody please explain.

    You go, Gov! And very brave of the Patersons to inform the world of this AFTER the swearing in, but BEFORE the “other woman” cashes in.

    Good for New York! We can finally claim our first black and blind governor who cheats on his wife.

    Do I smell a “Profiles in Courage” award?

    Staying on the topic of sex & politics, Moonbattery found Pastor Wrong’s counterpoint, Pastor Manning. The only thing in common is that both are potty-mouthed.

    Pastor Manning calls Obambi the Mac Daddy and pimp of both white & black women. When challenged by other blacks that he was trash-talking Obambi, he counters that one can’t trash-talk trash.

    His logic? “Obama’s in-heat-African father went a-whoring after a trash woman, [hence] Obama was born trash.

    Moonbattery indeed. Check out the youtube video here

    Maybe I’m just imagining things,Michelle,but it sure looks like all of these Democrat sexual pecadilloes all took place after Rodham’s husband set the unspoken standard as Philanderer in Chief..i.e. by the mid 90’s at the latest….and these creeps all took their cue from him as to what was ‘morally acceptable’ at that level of elective office…..more of his ‘legacy’…writ large

    If they agree with the person’s politics…”It’s their private life anyway”. If they don’t agree with the person’s politics, they demand investigations, hearings, and subcommittees. Paterson did it right, as BrianNY said. Confess after the swearing in, before the women hit the news media.

    ooh, the Days Inn…CLASSY!!

    Gov. Paterson denies using state or campaign money to pay for liaisons with another woman during a rocky patch in his marriage.

    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.

    but, at least he didn’t use state cash…

    i wonder if the Quality Hotel was any nicer than the Days Inn?

    Personally, I use Best Westerns, but the only lady there in the room with me is my wife. Never stayed at Qualitys and, only once, at Days Inn (nothing else was available) $456.46? Who screwed who?

    Wow, so she’s not going to worry about “that stuff?” The stuff she is talking about is honesty, integrity, fidelity and honoring vows that this leader took. She may not worry about “that stuff” but I do. If a man can’t keep his vows to his wife, then how in the world does anyone expect him to do a shred better in his decisions as an acting representative? He took vows of office. I wonder if she cares about “that stuff?”

    Honestly, if this was a Republican would they have sat on this story until after the storybook oath of office and love fest? Please.

    Come on Andy, I am sure that that video was taken out of context. It is probably a ten minute snippet chosen to incite emotional reaction and does not reflect the sum token of the pastor’s body of life work. Unless you know what all came before and all that came after, we should not judge how Rev. Manning really feels about Obama. Nice job, probably not a link endorsed by the Congressional Black Caucus.

    “But after…Eliot Spitzer, and…New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey…it seems no political leader can escape the magnifying glass that is destined to be placed over his personal life.”

    That closer scrutinization may occur is a given, there’s just too much money in it for them to avoid reporting such stories, but “seems” is the operative word: Rest assured the MSM will take great pains not to name the varmint’s political affiliation, as evidenced by both ABC and NBC, if he or she is a Democrat.
