I thought this was "the onion" when I first read it.
New NYC Governor, same old adultery

Can't anyone keep their pants on in the Big Apple?
"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.
In the course of several interviews in the past few days, Paterson said he maintained a relationship for two or three years with "a woman other than my wife," beginning in 1999.
As part of that relationship, Paterson said, he and the other woman sometimes stayed at an upper West Side hotel — the Days Inn at Broadway and W. 94th St.
He said members of his Albany legislative staff often used the same hotel when they visit the city.
"This was a marriage that appeared to be going sour at one point," Paterson conceded in his first interview Saturday. "But I went to counseling and we decided we wanted to make it work. Michelle is well aware of what went on."
In a second interview with Paterson and his wife Monday, only hours after he was sworn in to replace scandal-scarred Eliot Spitzer, Michelle Paterson confirmed her husband's account.
"Like most marriages, you go through certain difficult periods," Michelle Paterson said. "What's important is for your kids to see you worked them out."
Awwww, isn't that sweet. Note the absence of the mention of Paterson's party affiliation, ie:, Democrat. I personally guaranteee if this type of thing was happening to a Republican it would be front page news. Go head, check the major news headlines, as of 5am this morning - NADA.
Yet in fact this makes two major sex scandals involving major Democrats in two weeks. Is this a trend?
Inquiring minds want know…
