This guy really liked to party and I like his strategy. Just get it all out in the open. I can respect that.
NEW YORK - New York's new governor, who disclosed last week that he and his wife both committed adultery several years ago, said Monday that he used cocaine in his 20s and smoked marijuana when he was younger.
In reference to cocaine, Gov. David Paterson, 53, said in a television interview that he "tried it a couple of times" when he was "about 22 or 23."
"And marijuana probably when I was about 20," he said on the NY1 cable news station. "I don't think I touched marijuana since the '70s."

It's funny that when a democrat reveals he/she is an adulterer and used drugs they are celebrated but when a republican reveals the same character flaws they are browbeated into resigning.
