Blindness Doesn't Keep You From Looking For Strange

Just hours after he received a standing ovation from lawmakers chanting his name, New York's newly sworn governor told the New York Daily News that he had a relationship with another woman from 1999 until 2001 during a rough patch in his marriage.

David Paterson became the state's first black chief executive and the nation's second legally blind governor almost exactly a week after allegations first surfaced that now-former Gov. Eliot Spitzer was "Client 9" of a high-priced call girl service.

Paterson told the New York Daily News that he and his wife eventually sought counseling and repaired their relationship.

Paterson and his wife, Michelle, acknowledged to the newspaper that they each had affairs but did not go into details.
