As we get a new sex-related story each day involving some high-ranking official I’m really starting to wonder what is normal. Just think about what’s come out in the last week or so. We have the now former Governor of New York…the poster child for ethics in government, linked to a high price call girl (who of course just happens to be from this area). He is forced to resign in shame and worst yet has to face his wife and three teen-ager daughters, who I assume idolized him.
Then comes reports of this wild tryst featuring the former first couple of our wonderful state, Jim McGreevey and his soon-to-be ex-wife Dina Matos McGreevey. Depending on who and what you believe they were involved in a sexual threesome with a former campaign aid for about two years which ended just before McGreevey was elected governor. Keep in mind the couple is engaged in a bitter divorce battle and are due in court again later this week so you have to take everything with a grain of salt.
Just as you swallowed all of this comes news that New York’s new governor
has come out and disclosed that both he and his wife had affairs during a rocky period in their marriage. David Paterson obviously figured it was better to come clean now so just hours after taking office he admitted that he and his wife Michelle strayed from one another before seeking counseling and patching up their marriage.
What couples do is pretty much their own business and frankly I and most of you probably don’t care what goes on behind closed doors. It’s just that I wonder what is a normal marriage today. If nearly half of all marriages end in divorce what percentage can we assume finds one or both parties cheating on the other at some point? The real number may be shocking.
One other thought before putting this subject to bed. If former Governor Spitzer was “client 9” of the call girl service wouldn’t you like to know who numbers 1-8 are? Inquiring minds would like to know.
