The story about Patterson was circulating in Albany (I saw it referenced as the phenomenon of the “Capitol Family” – i.e. a legislator’s second “family” kept in the Capitol while he’s away form home).

Jeeze!!! I was so hoping he could make it one whole day before someone busted his mythical, if little, black, blind, bubble. The dreaded triple B’s

I’m struggling with estimating the relevance of this admission. My meter is not calibrated that low.

Did he need to confess for his wife too?

I don’t think the Patersons were “swingers.” He admits he cheated because he thought his marriage was over. They evidently forgave each other and have worked through it. From what I saw yesterday, they have two nice kids.

I think they did the right thing by just admitting to this rather than try to hide it. This way it is what it is. What they’ve done is far different than what Spitzer did. Spitzer didn’t have an affair, and he engaged in other criminal activity as well.

No suprise. There are swingers conventions in both Las Vegas and Florida every year. One sex club alone has members in 38 states and 20 countries overseas. People just like sex and tittilation. They may beg for forgiveness on Sunday morning, but Saturday night, they are begging for something entirely different.

I think this information was already circulating, and they just decided to nip it all in the bud.
