Another morning in New York.  Another governor.  David Paterson was sworn in yesterday.  And oh  by the way, another sex scandal.   Juan Gonzalez, New York Daily News:

The thunderous applause was still ringing in his ears 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.

I just hate sex scandals before breakast and it is hard for me to get snarky before coffee.   So I’ll leave the snark to Gina Cobb:

And, right on schedule — always first in line to rationalize wrongdoing when it’s from a Democrat — here’s the New York Times with “The Myth of Monogamy.” It carefully explains that most animals are not monogamous.

Yes. Exactly. That’s why we call them animals. Most animals also don’t publish newspapers, exchange wedding vows, make and keep promises, understand their own mortality, search for a Higher Power, or weep when they learn that their loved one doesn’t love them anymore and has brought home a sexually transmitted disease.

My first reax was that the headline was from the Onion.   We should be so lucky.   Days Inn rather than the Mayflower, well at least the new governor isn’t crossing state lines to unzip his pants and is dibbling closer to my price range.
