Random Thoughts On Gov. Paterson's Press Confernce

1. Not again.
2. It's only been a week since Elliot Spitzer admitted having sex with an escort and here we are again - another news conference with a politician admitting he was having an affair.
3. At least he is doing it the right way. No pun intended, but the premptive approach is refreshing.
4. It worked so well you can sense the press giving a collective shrug as if to say 'You called a press conference for this.'
5. They seem more interested in finding out if he either used state or campaign funds or if someone got a promotion out of it. Both cases was a no.
6. Favorite quote: "Governor what else are we going to find out about your life that we don't want to know." His wife's smile at that statement was priceless.
7. She's kind of hot too.
8. A Governor that is legally blind and a player on top of it. He's got my vote.
9. Another difference between how Paterson handed this verses Spitzer - he actually allowed his wife to speak instead of simply standing there.
10. He's not used to dealing with the press yet.
11. He's especially not used to dealing with New York City press.
12. Quoted from a Daily News reporter: "Do you and your wife plan on remaining sexually faithfully to each other in the future."
13. He is not mentioning the fact that the Daily News approached him the day of his swearing in with what they had found out.
14. Governor Paterson's closing statement: "I want to thank all of you for giving me and Michelle the opportunity to address this situation."
15. Translation: "I want to thank that asshole from the Daily News for forcing me into this really uncomfortable and probably unnecessary situation."
