Paterson might be blind but at least he is honest and I give him a little respect for coming out at the beginning of his tenure and omitting to his sorted past.  Maybe he took a note from Barry Obama and thought it was the best thing to do because no matter who you are if your in the political game it WILL come out sooner than later.  Best to think it's sooner and come out in my opinion.  Paterson is still skating on thin ice and if he were to not omit to these things now he would have become a bigger joke than V.I.P. #9.  If I was a New York citizen I would be questioning if my politicians are being hand picked by the mob during their youth.  Spitzer most likely didn't like a Mob boss's moms cooking and Mom made the boss tip off the FBI.  So Paterson make sure you eat the eggplant parmesan and always stay for the conollies .
