The Governor and the Gold Medalist
According to the NY Post, New York Governor David Paterson wasn’t fully candid about his romantic trysts. While Paterson did state that both he and his wife had affairs, it was during a rough patch in their marriage. He went on to say that no abuse of his governmental powers were used, no government funds, no favors were handed out, and that nothing of the sort has happened in over a year. Paterson said all of this on the day of his inauguration, to prevent it from coming up and tarnishing his stint as Governor of New York, seeing as what happened with Governor Eliot Spitzer, who resigned from office last week. Now, Olympic gold medal winner Diane Dixon, said that she recently had a romantic affair with David Paterson, and that he help get her a job with the Department of Education in New York. Dixon, conveniently, also taped these conversations, which shows that she might have looked to hold this over Paterson’s head, to get something that she wanted.
