Public Affairs

Shortly after being sworn in to replace Eliot Spitzer who resigned due to a sex scandal, NY Governor David Paterson has disclosed that both he and his wife had extramarital affairs. I guess he is just being proactive and wants to preempt the chance of another resignation due to a sex scandal. I am more shock by his act of revelation than what he revelated. I wonder how many capable folks have stayed out of public service due to the face that they have skeleton in their closet. After all, on one is prefect. Where do we draw the line?
