Sheldon Silver shows off New York Values perfectly. Silver, a New York Democrat state Speaker of the New York State Assembly not only cheated the system, but also ‘allegedly cheated on his special needs school teacher wife too. It must be something in the water in New York, or maybe it’s a pattern. Eliot Spitzer, Anthony Weiner and Sheldon Silver just can’t keep their dick in their pants. Sheldon Silver has already been convicted of multiple corruption charges in November and faces a century in prison.

Former New York Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver had affairs with a woman who lobbied for him on a regular basis and another whom he helped get a job using his elected position, according to documents unsealed Friday after NBC 4 New York and the New York Times fought to have them made public.
Manhattan federal Judge Valerie Caproni released the papers on Friday.
Steven Molo, an attorney for Silver, called the allegations salacious and unproven.
“These are simply unproven and salacious allegations that have no place in this case or public discussion,” he said.
The 72-year-old Democrat was convicted in November in a $5 million corruption case. Prosecutors say he traded favors to enrich himself and then lied about it.
Lawyers for NBC 4 New York and The New York Times asked the judge in February to unseal documents pertaining to evidence excluded from Silver’s corruption trial last year.

At a hearing before releasing the documents, Caproni said “this otherwise personal and embarrassing conduct does, however, have public ramifications.”
Now, the story coming out is that he had at least two extra-martial affairs. One with one a state lobbyist and one who he helped get a job with the state.
