Patterson is sworn in, admits affairs

And how did we miss the latest twist in the sordid McGreevey saga?

Today the gay former Gov. confirmed the story and Dina denied it. It can only get better as this divorce goes forward.

He took his punchboard to a Day's Inn in Manhattan. Classy.

 

The New Gov is "legally" blind. He could have been boning Mcgreevey and he would not have known.

 

Why don't we all move to Pa.? The governor there threw snowballs at Santa (and at various members of the Dallas Cowboys) from the 700 level of Veterans Stadium while he was just a lawyer - before he went on to become mayor Philadelphia, then governor.

 

So he cheated on his wife. Big F'ing deal. We have brave soldiers dying in a war, a myriad of financial problems, and all people can focus on is if someone exchanged bodily fluids with another person who he wasn't married to.

 

Let's try it in these terms. The man exchanged vows with his wife. He gave his word. I understand that they had a rough patch in their marriage and she cheated, too. But he did not promise to be faithful as long as things went well. That's kind of the spirit of the whole "...for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health..." thing.

I'm not talking about morality here. And from what I have learned so far, I like Patterson. But I'm talking about trust. Shortly after this man was sworn in as the governor of New York, as he made a promise to the citizens of that state, he admitted that he has violated important vows in the past.

I'm probably overstating my case here, but it's not nothing. It matters.

 

Hey, at least he didn't pay for it.

 

God, even a blind guy?!?!

Sometimes I think I'm the only man left who can control himself.

Feel free to tell me if I'm the butt of some grand cosmic joke. I can handle it.

 

When you're blind, do you care if they're good looking?

 

The beard might have tipped him off, in close quarters.

 

It certainly expands your options.

 

Isn't it supposed to be spelled Paterson?
