New sex--New York, New Jersey
In the last few weeks, we've had to deal with the not-so-shocking revelations that Eliot Spitzer, the crusading governor of New York, spent more last year on prostitutes than I did on college tuition for my kids. Then after Spitzer resigns, the new governor Paterson admits to multiple affairs (after he was sworn in, of course). Plus we have former New Jersey Governor McGreevey's divorce trial in which his chauffeur has now testified that he had a menage-a-trois with the governor and his wife for years.
The big question is has this always been going on and the media just didn't report it or is this a recent trend? Or I guess it could be that computers and electronics being what they are these days, maybe it's just easier to catch someone? Politicians are getting savvy on the idea that anything can be ferreted out, which is maybe why Paterson just admitted it.
