Follow up on Spitzer debacle

Here's the latest update: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/18/nyregion/18cnd-paterson.html?hp

So another NY Governor is embroiled in a “sex scandal.” This one is a bit different though, and involved infidelity on both sides of their marriage. I am actually, well I wouldn’t say proud, but impressed with the finesse and grace with which Paterson is handling this potential media circus. By pointing out that “I think we have a marriage like many Americans, maybe even like many of you,” he is highlighting the hypocrisy of the press and the sick fascination of many people who read this stuff and feel better about themselves.

Let’s hope that the New York Governor can get past this crap and start working on some of the real issues here, like the immigration problems or the rampant homelessness.
