NY congressman admits child from affair

The Associated Press
Published: May 8, 2008

WASHINGTON: Rep. Vito Fossella of New York acknowledged on Thursday that he fathered a child from an extramarital affair, answering questions that arose from his arrest on drunken driving charges last week.

"My personal failings and imperfections have caused enormous pain to the people I love and I am truly sorry," said Fossella, a Republican, who has three children with his wife in Staten Island, N.Y.

Fossella is the only Republican member of Congress from New York City, and the paternity revelation could lead to the loss of a seat in Congress at a time when the House GOP faces the possibility of a second grim November of election setbacks.

Fossella's private life came under scrutiny after he was arrested last week in the Virginia suburbs of Washington.

When Fossella was pulled over, police said he told officers that he was going to see his daughter in the area. That prompted questions about who the daughter was.

And don't forget, Vito is facing jail time if he's convicted on the drunk driving bust ... which, it appears, he will be.

Tough shit, asshole. I only wish this could have been yer buddy, Peter Fucking King.

2. Stick a fork in him, Vito is done...
I can only hope some additional embarrassing revelations come to light. Perhaps he was using taxpayer money to facilitate his romantic trysts. We know how those New York repukes are.

4. I worked to help Frank Barbaro defeat him in 2004. It was actually pretty close, but alas, he won.
