I didn’t know that everyone who runs for public office is supposed to be perfect in mind, thought, and deed. No only are they supposed to be so now, but they are supposed to have been that way every single day of their past. At least, that’s how it seems if you watch how the press went after NY’s new governor, David Paterson.

It seems that Gov. Paterson had an affair. OK, more than one. It seems that his wife did likewise. They had… what shall we call it… a fidelity crisis brought on by other problems within their marriage. My response to that is simply, ‘OK, thanks, but it’s really none of my business.’ Nor, dear reader, is it any of yours. Nor, dear horribly misguided press corps, is it any of YOURS.

Watching David Paterson handle this pack of wolves has made me smile, perhaps for the first time in quite awhile concerning the antics and goings-on of politicians. The Governor came clean because, as he put it, “I don’t want to be blackmailed.”

Good for you, Governor. Good for you. You’re my new hero.
