Blind Date
2008-03-18 04:02:00 At least the vulture media waited until NY's new gov raised his hand before dive bombing. The thunderous applause was still ringing in his ears [Fox News] when the state's new governor, David Paterson, told the Daily News that he and his wife had extramarital affairs. In a stunning revelation, both Paterson, 53, and his wife, Michelle, 46, acknowledged in a joint interview they each had intimate relationships with others during a rocky period in their marriage several years ago.In the course of several interviews in the past few days, Paterson said he maintained a relationship for two or three years with "a woman other than my wife," beginning in 1999. NYDNI was too hasty making that on-air joke joke today in a radio interview: "Do prostitutes come with braille?" Or something like that.
