Now all his immunizations are up to date, I guess. Smart political move, if a bit cynical.

Doesn’t any F’ing politician in the nation have any morals and integrity left?
This is like a bad dream. But I am not surprised.
Anybody keeping score? I think the demorats have scored a few third peirod goals to take the lead by a few.

If that moron Spitzer had spent twice the money on a High Maintenance Girlfriend, he wouldn’t have had a problem as long as it wasn’t campaign or state funds. Well, not a problem politically. That shrew of a wife would still take it out of his hide.

Are any Democrat marriages real?

In his first day in office as New York State’s newly sworn-in Governor, David Paterson successfully returned adultery to a “non-issue”, and being ONLY about sex … for democrat politicians.

Well, doesn’t it show integrity to be up front about something you did wrong? I don’t what his motivations are for this, whether it’s a political move or simply a sincere overture to establish public trust. Yet, he does get credit for not lying about it. And it doesn’t that he abused the power of public office to shield his activities. To clinch it, he and his wife have apparently worked out their issues.

I’ve seen enough decent people screw up that I wouldn’t hold something against this man, especially since it seems to have been settled a long time ago. The fact is that if he hadn’t admitted to this, we would all be accusing him of hiding something if it came out. However, since he has, we are going ahead and crucifying him for something that has already been redressed. And we’ve already decided that it’s a cynical political move, whether or not he is actually being sincere.

Now, of course, it is entirely possible (more than likely, really) the man is just being a shrewd politician, but at least he gets credit for rejecting the hubris of his predecessor.

No the country deserves better people than this running the nation.
I think you are missing the point to what it is that I am saying.

By doing that he and his wife just let the air out of any potential story that could have been leaked by opponents or sold by the ex-girlfriend looking to make a buck.

Smart on his part.

Man, NY is scraping the bottom of the barrel. So they have two Governors that can’t even honor a wedding vow. How can you trust them at all?

Maybe this is a smart ‘political move’. But it is what it is, and I expect more from elected officials. But then again, I’m just a conservative in a country where morals don’t matter, apparently.

that’s something we don’t understand and don’t care over here, it’s private life, none has to judge it, except if it’s becoming an incitation to moral depravements such as sex parties, SM parties with minors in public places.

in any case that has nothing to do with the ability of a person to deal with political ambitions or manage a business
