Choire it's screamingly obvious why the Patersons went public -- our gossip-insatiable "free press" was going to so. That's the way it behaves around Democrats. President Bush can install a male hooker in the press room of the White House and nobody blinks. With Democrats different rules apply. So Paterson's disclosure was a big juicy "Fuck you!" to to the media.

And Fuck You Very much, Choire.
