David Paterson has been governor of New York for two days now, and it looks like he just stepped in crap. He went out of his way to disclose his extramarital affairs before being sworn in, which was honorable but not really necessary.
But he's now made it a
big, huge deal by telling lies and acting like an idiot!
The New York Post is reporting that a
former Olympian the paper describes as "attractive" has had a "close" relationship with
Paterson within the past year. The woman's name is
Diane Dixon and she was a track and field medalist in the 1984 and 1988 Olympic games.
Dixon says
Paterson helped her secure a government job, secretly taping their phone conversations as repayment. Classy! She also says that she got a message from
Paterson in the past couple days asking if she's talking to the press. Looks like the answer to that one is yes! I wonder what Paterson did to scorn this woman so? Other than having an affair with her while never entertaining the notion of
actually leaving his foxy wife, that is.
