Bombshell rumor: Gov. Paterson about to be exposed by NYT
Rumors have been circulating on and off for the past two weeks that the New York Times is about to reveal some scintillating new details about New York governor David Paterson’s private life. Since Paterson already admitted the day after his inauguration that he (and his wife) have had extramarital affairs, many are predicting that these new allegations will be far worse for the governor, who came to power after his predecessor Eliot Spitzer took things too far with a prostitute.
Not that Paterson’s political situation needs another blindside from investigative journalists: Polls suggest Paterson has roughly a 30-percent approval rating and that Attorney General Andrew Cuomo leads Paterson 55%-23% among registered Democrats in the primary race. According to the New York Times, President Obama’s advisers have encouraged Paterson to not seek election in 2010 because they fear voters will take out their frustrations with him on the state’s Congressional delegation.
Paterson has ascribed his unpopularity to racism, despite the fact that black voters don’t particularly like him either.
Spitzer, for his part, is considering a Senate run.
Reports the Albany Times-Union:
The New York Times has, according to an avalanche of first-, second- and third-hand accounts, been working on a piece about Gov. David Paterson that, depending on who you talk to, could prove to be anything from mildly embarrassing to politically apocalyptic.
The last few weeks have brought two major eruptions of rumors concerning Paterson’s private life: reports of nuzzling at a New Jersey restaurant and being caught in semi-flagrante in a utility closet in the Governor’s Mansion — stories that Paterson and his press office have vehemently denied.
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.

Unless he’s banging Silda Spitzer, there’s shocking about a man in an “open marriage” having sex.
this guy admitted to this sort of behavior before he was seated..Does a leopard change it’s spots? If you don’t like that sort of thing stop voting them in.
He has the advantage of not having to wait till “closing time” for the all the women to start looking better.
The NY Governor has a very effective technique for picking-up the ladies and getting laid. He dons some big, dark shades, perches on the piano stool in the Mansion, rocks his a**-off, swaying and dipping on the stool, and lip-synchs to Ray Charles’ ‘Best-Of’ album, while grunting ‘UNH-UNH-UNH’ at every opportunity.
According to his aides and valet, works every time, and ‘He gets WAY MORE than his share’.
Sort of amazing in how only certain Democrats are outed in sexual infidelities in Gov. Spitzer ruined and now the final kick at Gov. Paterson. Others like Gov. Blagojevich are ruined in doing the same things Rahm Emanuel and Barack Obama have done and accomplished endlessly since taking office.
Odd how John Edwards adultery is constantly on display, and Barack Obama’s gay male contacts, his rumors of a black woman moved to the West Indies and a blonde former girlfriend from college, never make the New York Times investigations.
Cuomo of course is pure as the Obama driven snow, as no liberal press could ever find any information on him if they had nude pictures. The greater question is why is the Times and the Democratic clique going the extra mile to do a John Edwards on Paterson?
That is the real story in the unequal destruction of some perverts like Barney Frank being obscene in public are not noted any more than his criminal abuse in the finance sector.
Someone should ask why is it not racist for the New York Times to twist the knife on a black politician in defeat, when Huffington Post readers would be screaming it with Keith Olbermann if FOX news did this.
