New York Governor David Paterson, Pictures, Photos

After Governor Eliot Spitzer resigned from his office in New York after being caught in the middle of a prostitution ring, it turns out his replacement — David Paterson — has a long and distinguished history of drug use and extra-marital affairs.

The conversation he had with NY1′s Inside City Hall on Monday night went, literally, like this:

Carter: Marijuana?

Paterson: Yes.

Carter: Cocaine?

Paterson: Yes.

Carter: You have used cocaine, Governor?

Paterson: I’d say I was about 22-23. I tried it a few times, yes.

Paterson and his wife have also both admitted to having affairs outside their marriage, although neither wants to talk about how many.

Jesus Christ, people!

You know, I used to think that, with my past, I could never in a million years run for public office. But now I’m thinking otherwise. Hell, I haven’t used cocaine since I was about 23, either! In fairness, though, that was like 3 years ago.

Paterson is both the first African-American and first legally blind governor of New York.

    EB cut the shit…how many undergrads smoke weed or use nose candy? you’re being super self-righteous I’ve seen pix and you were under the influence of more than just alcohol. Undergrads are getting “E’d” up and fucking everything moving.

    For what it’s worth, he had no plans to be governor – didn’t even want to be lt. gov. – & besides – oh, hello Mr. President – give the man props for honesty. Own it & move on, better than the usual lies in my book.

    I would think it hard for a blind man to find a non-blind woman to marry, but then to find out he’s getting some action on the side as well. Bravo, Mr. Governor, Bravo!
