"Multiple sources have reported that the rumor mill is buzzing about a “big, damaging” New York Times “bombshell” story that supposedly features some ruinous dirt about the personal life of Governor David Paterson. Unlike the hatchet job on John McCain, this one may very well be true. Over the past few weeks there have been two incidents of where Paterson was caught with his pants in the cookie jar. He was seen nuzzling at a New Jersey restaurant with a woman other than his wife. And this past weekend NY Post's Page 6 reported that he was caught in an embarrassing situation in the governor's mansion, "At one point [a state trooper] opened the door to an electrical closet/utility room that isn't normally used," a source told columnist Fred Dicker. "The trooper opened the door and the first thing he saw was the governor and a woman inside and the two of them snuggling together, embracing. There was nothing more than that, snuggling, and they had their clothes on." According to sources who have actually been interviewed for the Times’ story, its central narrative is the role played by members of Paterson’s inner circle in his personal and political activities. Rumors about a possibly publication date for the story have ranged from Monday to today; the latest suggests Sunday, but it’s hard to believe that the Times would hold the story much longer when knowledge that it’s pending has put every other reporter in the Capitol and elsewhere on the scent. Possible reasons for delay include editorial fine-tuning and thorough legal review. The Daily News, coincidentally, had just run a story claiming that trooper presence in the mansion had recently been reduced "after a number of incidents in which the governor and First Lady Michelle Paige Paterson were 'startled' by troopers." When State Police Superintendent Harry Corbitt wrote a letter to the Post editors denying these stories, Daily News Albany chronicler Elizabeth Benjamin saw fit to mention the exposé rumors publicly for the first time. At around the same time, Observer media reporter John Koblin tweeted that he'd been hearing the same buzz. "Anyone hearing about NYT bombshell on Paterson?" he asked. "Heard big, damanging story comin. [sic] been working for weeks, but still not published yet." The Times hasn't run anything yet, but now that news of the story is beginning to leak out I would be very surprised if the story didn't break by Monday the very latest.

I've just took it the practice was mutual or at least accepted between them, whether they admit it still is or not. They've both been in the spotlight for admitted activities outside the home before. |

Patterson admitted, soon after he was sworn in as governor that he had not been faithful to his wife but that that time of his life was in the past. Guess not - I suppose that his activities in the electrical closet would call to mind those of Ohio's greatest gift to the White House - Warren Gamiel Harding with his mistress Nan Britton. Patterson is not well liked by the msm - so exposing his dalliances would not be surprising. |

Exposing oneself in an electrical closet could have some serious long term consequences. |

The Betrayed Wives Club: "We are all betrayed political wives now. Watching Jenny Sanford pour her heart out to Barbara Walters on 20/20 Friday night, you realized why we are so transfixed by the public humiliation of her and of other scorned political spouses: Elizabeth Edwards and Silda Spitzer most recently. Wherever you are on the ideological spectrum, you feel deceived, used and betrayed by our elected officials. Though Walters was sympathetic to Jenny Sanford, she also asked her unsparing questions, as if she felt she had to satisfy a national audience worn out by power’s transgressions. Just as an earlier era’s “fallen woman” became a social type with distinct subcategories—the good wife fallen to adulterous temptation, the young girl fallen to heartless seduction, the poor waif fallen to the desperation of selling her body— so our humiliated political wives have acquired the status of a cultural trope. They comprise a new social type with its own vivid variations: The wife who stands silently by her man (Silda Spitzer); the wife who stands by her man until the betrayal becomes so outrageous and painful that she turns on him with mythical fury (Elizabeth Edwards); the wife who silently refuses to stand by her man and then speaks out to recover her dignity (Jenny Sanford). • Speed Read: Jenny Sanford's New Memoir These women’s betrayal embodies our own feeling of being sold out by the people we send to Washington to represent our interests. The politicians court us, charm us, inspire our hopes, instill in us the expectation that they will be loyal to us in the years ahead. Finally, we surrender and give ourselves to them at the polls. Then we learn that, all along, they made promises only to win our affection, cooed sweetly into our ear when they were casting an interested glance elsewhere, made a mockery of our loyalty and support by secretly refusing to commit to us. And like the humiliated political wives, we have to suffer the anguish of seeing the politicians we stuck with and supported dally with other women—i.e. special interests—in full public view. Sometimes they rush into the arms of the rival they once forswore and belittled to win our confidence—the Other Side—all the while promising us that their betrayal will be over soon, assuring us that they just have to “get it out of their system” (i.e. do the expedient thing under the circumstances). But one day, sure enough, we find that text or email that proves they have never stopped sleeping with the enemy." http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2010-02-06/the-betrayed-wives-club/?cid=hp:beastoriginalsC1 |

While Jenny Sanford and many other "political wives" fit into the category of being victims of betrayal due sympathy, I suspect Patterson will not get quite as much sorrow in her situation. |

In large part because she also had affairs. |

I'm curious, why do you think Hillary Clinton not included in the list of "wives of politicians that cheat"? |

That is a good question to which I do not have an answer other than it is in the "past" and so therefore not relevant? |

I ask myself the same question. She's a piece of dirt for putting up with that horn dog. If I ever caught my man shoving it down the throat of a young girl, I'd make damned sure that he wouldn't have anything to shove anywhere. But Hillary stood by him. For God's sake, if 'Game Change' is to be believed, during the 2008 campaign, Hillary had to put out a special detail to deal with the explosion IF the news printed the fact that he was porking someone else. This is sick. Come on, she wants to be President? Well, that would mean standing up to the Russians and the Chinese - and the Taliban. But how could we believe she'd have the cojones to do that if she doesn't have them to stand up to her cheating husband? |

The past is the warning of the future. And Hillary's past warns that she's weak. Come on, if a woman allows herself to be used as a floor mat by her husband, she doesn't miraculously get up off the floor and become a strong person the moment she enters the Oval Office as President. Obama's past (Marxism, 'God DAMN America!', sleazy slumlords, missing grades, atheism, '57 states', etc.) all warned us of the future we're seeing now. So take heed of a person's past. As the Bible says, 'by their deeds, ye shall know them'. And if a woman's deeds is to play floor mat for her horn dog of a husband, than I 'know' her to be unfit for political office. |

The Clintons don't have a traditional marriage relationship. They are more like siblings. They know they must have each other to succeed politically. Hilliary has just made that trade off. |
