Tough Week

(Perhaps) driving your taxpayer-funded car, you get pulled over for drunk driving, only to be bailed out by your Baby Mama, subsequently exposing a secret double life:

Rep. Vito Fossella today admitted he fathered a love child in a longtime secret affair with the woman who rescued him from the drunk tank.

Fossella, who is married and has three children in New York, did not say if he would step down or seek re-election.

“I have had a relationship with Laura Fay, with whom I have a 3-year-old daughter,” Fossella said in a four paragraph statement.

“My personal failings and imperfections have caused enormous pain to the people I love and I am truly sorry.

“While I understand that there will be many questions, including those about my political future, making any political decisions right now are furthest from my mind.

“Over the coming weeks and months, I will to continue to do my job and I will work hard to heal the deep wounds I have caused.”

His relationship with retired Col. Laura Fay came to light after cops busted him for drunken driving in Arlington, Va., just after midnight on Thursday May 1. He was released to Fay’s custody seven hours later.

Fossella, who smelled of alcohol and had wine-stained lips, told a cop that he was going to the home of his sick daughter on Grimm St. about three miles away, records show.
