Kudos to new New York governor David Paterson and his wife for each admitting to have had affairs with other people earlier in the decade. We applaud your honesty, your determination to keep the now-apparently-successful marriage afloat, and the courtesy you show us all in preempting whatever sleazeball partisan hack that had to throw his "big blockbuster story" about you right into the circular file. Just make sure that you iron out who paid for that hotel on 94th Street, and we predict you'll get through this without a snag.
Just one question, though: does this mean the shark has officially been jumped on this sort of shit? At least in the tri-state area? With both this and this in the last 24 hours, what could possibly be next? "Ed Rendell in Bend Over Boyfriend Brouhaha?" (Please, please, please...)
