David Paterson has been governor of New York for just over 24 hours and already he has admitted to an extra-marital affair. But don't get too excited, this one's the more conventional variety.
"There was a period of time where it appeared this marriage was going sour,"
Paterson told the
New York Daily News just hours after being sworn in. He admitted having an affair with "a woman other than my wife."
Michelle Paterson had a similar confession to make.
This story has a happy ending though. They went to counseling, worked it all out, and even went to the same hotel where Paterson used to do his mistress. How about being governor for new and exciting? That should get the New York's new first lady's blood pumping.
Unlike his predecessor though, Paterson doesn't seem to have broken any laws in his extra-curricular carnal pursuits and we can file this one under the category, "water under the bridge."
