New York Congressman admits he's the babydaddy

[DanOregon]

(AP) Rep. Vito Fossella, a married congressman from Staten Island, this morning admitted to having an out-of-wedlock child with a former Air Force officer with whom he carried on a longstanding extramarital affair.

The stunning admission comes exactly a week after the Republican politician was busted for drunk driving in Alexandria, Va. presumably on the way to visit his mistress and their young child.

"I have had a relationship with Laura Fay, with whom I have a three-year-old daughter," Fossella, 43, said in a statement.
Fay, 45, is a retired Air Force intelligence officer who may have met Fossella when she served as a congressional liaison from the Pentagon.

"My personal failings and imperfections have caused enormous pain to the people I love and I am truly sorry."
But the embattled lawmaker, who is up for a tough re-election battle this fall, left open the possibility that he may try to stay in office.

"While I understand that there will be many questions, including those about my political future, making any political decisions right now are furthest from my mind," he said.

"Over the coming weeks and months, I will to continue to do my job and I will work hard to heal the deep wounds I have caused."

A family source close to Fossella's wife, Mary Pat, told The Post that the humiliated mother of their three children may soon leave him.

"She's not going to be standing by her man," the source said.

Vito's not having a good week.
And did he vote for the Defense Of Marriage Act?
Oh, yes, he did.

He kept NASCAR off Staten Island. He's still at +1 with me.

Why didn't you want NASCAR on Staten Island? It would have been great fun watching the pre-race traffic jams coming over the Goethal's Bridge.

I'd love to see the Repugnican apologists take this one on.

Nascar on Staten Island is the most incongruous thing I have ever heard. Are any cars sponsored by waste management companies?

And I rarely take the Goethal's, for anything, but I did a few weeks ago, cranberry. It took me as long as it took to get from Princeton, N.J. to the exit for the bridge, as it took me to get across that stupid bridge. I haven't moved so slowly for no apparent reason in a long time--well, at least without the Cross Bronx being involved somehow.

I think it was the proposed flotilla of race-day NASCAR ferries that finally put me over the top. To say nothing of the corruption of local institutions - this town's about egg creams, not Cheerwine; bialys, not funnel cakes. Plus, I didn't think we needed another couple hundred acres of asphalt in the shape of a giant solar collector sitting empty 357 days a year.

It was a woman, he stuck to his pro-life position, and this wasn't a fling and no money changed hands. It was a three-year relationship.
When Vito loses, he'll be labeled a "flawed candidate." I thought most GOP flawed candidates get elected anyway?

I apologize to my wife. No disrespect intended.

"My personal failings and imperfections have caused enormous pain to the people I love and I am truly sorry."

Is that what they call the love of strange va jay-jay these days? Personal failings and imperfections?

But, but, Clinton got a blow job! That damn liberal media is always picking on us. [limbaugh]

'Hypocritical' is the same old horse out of the fast gate sporting the republican clown colors. Spectacular.

Wrong side of the aisle if you're looking for knee-jerk partisan defenses.

Is he in favor of abstinence education? Do as I say, not as I do?

Boy if this was a Democrat ****ing hondo would have ejaculated all over himself coming over here to prattle on about the hypocrisy of Democrats.

Funny he's not here now. Jerk.

My personal favorite is when Henry Hyde referred to an affair he had in his 40s as a "youthful indiscretion."

Why bring Hondo into this? He isn't involved with this thread, which is his right. Are we just trying to **** him off and start a flame war? What purpose does a post like this serve to call a guy who isn't involved in the discussion in any way a jerk?

My personal favorite was when the R's were impeaching Clinton for lying about his BJ, then Larry Flynt came forward and exposed Bob Livingston for his affair just as Livingston was becoming House Speaker.

The Repubs then spent the next month whining about 'the politics of personal destruction.'
