The Wright Stuff?

Kos dismisses the complaint, saying lots of people get roughed up on his site.

Here's an interesting poll finding from USA Today:

"By 55%-37%, Democrats and independents who 'lean' Democratic say an outcome in which Clinton lost among pledged delegates but prevailed with the help of super delegates would be 'flawed' and 'unfair' -- including 77% of Obama supporters and 28% of Clinton supporters."

Tom Marquardt, the editor of the Annapolis Capital, admits he's selling access to his news pages. The Anne Arundel Medical Center will provide content for his monthly health section. "I'm not entirely comfortable with the arrangement, purely for journalistic reasons. But in the end I think the reader benefits."

I suspect lots of readers won't be comfortable either.

You know, I was just thinking about what a lovely moment it was for the nation's first blind governor to take the oath of office in Albany, after the seaminess of Spitzer Week. But now I think it would be more efficient to form a club of elected officials who haven't fooled around. The Daily News breaks the story:

"The thunderous applause was still ringing in his ears when the state's new governor, David Paterson, told the Daily News that he and his wife had extramarital affairs.

"In a stunning revelation, both Paterson, 53, and his wife, Michelle, 46, acknowledged in a joint interview they each had intimate relationships with others during a rocky period in their marriage several years ago.

"In the course of several interviews in the past few days, Paterson said he maintained a relationship for two or three years with 'a woman other than my wife,' beginning in 1999. As part of that relationship, Paterson said, he and the other woman sometimes stayed at an upper West Side hotel -- the Days Inn at Broadway and W. 94th St."

Well, it's no Mayflower, but I guess it was sufficient.

" 'This was a marriage that appeared to be going sour at one point,' Paterson conceded in his first interview Saturday. 'But I went to counseling and we decided we wanted to make it work. Michelle is well aware of what went on.' "

Obviously, this is different than hiring hookers, and Paterson and his wife have made their peace with it. I predict the media will give him a pass and this will be a one-day story. Okay, two days.

And if that isn't enough sex in politics, the Newark Star Ledger drops this bomb about the ex-governor across the river:

"A former aide to James E. McGreevey said yesterday that he had three-way sexual trysts with McGreevey and his wife before they occupied the governor's mansion, challenging Dina Matos McGreevey's assertion that she was naive about her husband's sexual exploits."

And: "In an e-mail to The Associated Press, the nation's first openly gay governor said published reports by former campaign aide Teddy Pedersen were true . . .

"His e-mail to The Associated Press came shortly after one from Matos McGreevey. She said Pedersen's claims of consensual three-way sex 'are completely false and were prompted by Jim McGreevey.' "

Well, two out of three people say it happened.
