This is such a non issue. I like Paterson's candor, now let's see if he's a good governor...

prostitution is illegal, cheating is not. both are immoral, but i'll take the latter for a leader.

This is their business and does not involve my tax dollars or some varying degree of hypocracy, so I could care less.

Days Inn on 94th? The only thing I take issue with is the man's class. If you're gonna taste a little honey on the side, take the lady up to Connecticut and spring for a day spa or something. I wouldn't let my mother-in-law stay at the Days on 94th.

Jen and Crew, Last week a gothamist commentator remarked how he and his wife witnessed Patterson in the cozy company of a blonde woman at a bar somewehere on the UWS, and it intimated it was seemingly more than platonic. I forget the post, and hope I am correct in what I recall, but I think it is amazing and wonderful to be informed and attuned. This is not the first time I have read a story or comment from a Gothamist prior to or contemporaneous with a topical news event that truly reveals great 'inside' information. While this is not meant to be an advert for your site, due credit to Gothamist, you, the crew, and your commentators...generally, of course, but especially in light of the recent report of sighting Governor Patterson with some floozy! Now the follow up...where was the driver of 'Governor Phillanderer' during all this???

With Spitzer I didn't care about the sex, it was more about the whole lying and generally being the annoying fake goody boy that he was. Hey if banging more than one person is going to make New York as a state better than I for one welcome our extramarital affair having overlords.

How does he know he cheated? Maybe she just used a different voice.

Never mind that Patterson sounds like an idiot savant, at least we witness some of the fruits of miscegenation as evidenced by the above picture...

No one cares about the sex. It was the money. And his big fat freaking mouth. Did anyone see the cover of New York Magazine? Ouch.

They were married in 1992. So it was a seven year itch. Could they be swingers? Fake marriage? Jen, It's about successful men. Women are attracted to men successful. Successful men feel entitled to getting some action. Even if they need to pay for it. Nothing new. It goes across vocations.

Politicians: Having almost more sex than anyone else you know. But I have to hand it to the Patersons to just deal with it now.
