Paterson admits he had affairs and so did his wife while married.

Gov. David Paterson admits to numerous affairs

Unfortunately, it is pretty much true these days.

85% of these politicians are deviants, liars and scumbags.

The Mayor of Detroit here in MI, was caught having an affair with his Chief of Staff and they both lied about it on the stand, among other things.
That is all that has been on the news around here for 2 months now.
There are just a different set of rules for these a$$holes than there are for me and you.

I wouldn't go as far as to say 85% of all politicians are that way. I would estimate the ratio of scumbags and deviants is essentially the same as the general population, or maybe just a tad higher. Of course, given my profession, I probably have a different opinion than most about how wicked the population as a whole is.

The truth is, everyone has skeletons in their closet. You couldn't pay me enough to be in the position of a governor or president. Imagine how scrutinized your life would be? It's acceptable that Spears and Hilton are skanks, but not if you're a figure in public office.

In this case, although I don't condone what they did, I think it's respectable that he and his wife were forthright about their affairs and have worked through them. I feel bad that they had to relive their indescretions, but it's better that they revealed them. Again, you couldn't pay me to be in their shoes.

Just a regular guy???

New York's Governor Discusses Drug Use
Posted by The Associated Press on Monday Mar 24

New York's new governor, who disclosed last week that he and his wife both committed adultery several years ago, said Monday that he used cocaine in his 20s and smoked marijuana when he was younger.

In reference to cocaine, Gov. David Paterson, 53, said in a television interview that he 'tried it a couple of times' when he was 'about 22 or 23.'

'And marijuana probably when I was about 20,' he said on the NY1 cable news station. 'I don't think I touched marijuana since the '70s.'

'More Americans have tried a lot more during that period of time and gone on to lead responsible lives and hopefully have lived their lives to their fullest,' he said.
