I think that this is just the tip of the iceberg. Reporters will be all over him. They will find so much that he will have to go, even in liberal New York.

Is that the cure for bank robbery or tax fraud too?Only if you are, or quickly register as, a democrat

Perhaps more will be found and Paterson will have to go, but, if current experience is any guide, the mainstream media will either ignore or ameliorate such charges.
I do think Gail Collins humorous take on this issue is part and parcel of an attempt to gloss over not only moral but occupational dereliction of duty.
It seems, like Barack Obama, there are different standards for white and black politicians.
To: Dr. Ursus
Besides Spitzers personality, the reason the Dems through him under the Bus was because if push came to shove, Spitzer would of turned on them. With Patterson, the politcos have one of their own, a guy who will protect them, if they protect him. Quid pro quo. Everything nice a calm, don't get the sheeple too rattled, keep the host calm and keep draining the coffers, one $150K pensioned, disabled job after another.

"I do think Gail Collins humorous take on this issue is part and parcel of an attempt to gloss over not only moral but occupational dereliction of duty"Me too. Humorous sex scandal (that makes Spitzer look like an amateur by comparison), Paterson broke the law.
The only question remains what way Paterson will completely skate: race card or "we need to put the sex scandals behind us for the good (FOFLOL) of NY" thing.

There’s the little matter of thousands of dollars that he hasn’t agreed to pay.

this is about moving infidelity as acceptable to the political class as long as they “look good”
It is ok of bill and hillary have their respective girlfriends as long as they look good together and support abortion, gun control, and surrender military politics

Patterson is getting a free pass because 1 he is black, 2 he is blind.

Paterson will be finished in a month. There is NO way he did NOT violate laws forbiding Offical Misconduct. He was obviously more concerned about the WHERE AND WHEN, then whether it was legal. Please ratmedia don’t try to tell me otherwise.

It not about the sex - its about character and judgment. Liberals think they aren't important. The rest of us do.
