At Last, an Equal Opportunity Sex Scandal
And a new record, isn't it, for time elapsed between the swearing in and the swearing at? That's quick work, when right under the New York Times headline "New Governor for New York, Pledging Unity" is this second offering: "Patersons Acknowledge Extramarital Affairs.'' Only as these his-and-hers relationships were over years ago, this is relevant how? No laws were broken that I can see, except for the one about taking your wife and your girlfriend to the very same hotel. And I've stayed in worse, but the Days Inn? I see here where you can't have more than two guests in a room with only one bed, though—which might or might not have ruled out a stay by the McGreeveys. (Whatever happened, it's sure odd that New Jersey's former first lady sees the allegations that she and the ex-governor had threesomes with his young driver as an attempt to upstage her. "He cannot stand it,'' Dina McGreevey said of her ex, "when I am receiving attention in the media rather than him.'' Could anybody be that starved for attention? OK, yes. But wouldn't these revelations be problematic in his new line of work as an aspiring Episcopal priest?) Now that John and Abigail Adams, there was a lovely couple.
