At one time, the governorship of NY was the royal road to the White House. No more. Liberals now dominate in NY and their moral standards are now accepted with a wink and a nod.

Gail Collins's wink and a nod tells more about politics in NY than any definitive study. As a card carrying leftist Collins thinks it is all too funny to really get upset about.

and the RATS, take another one in the..................HA ha!!!

Is Paterson related to Kilpatrick?

[Joe Boucher]

If Paterson were a republican he too would be toast by now.
Funny if he is out for illegalities, wouldn’t Bruno be in?

[the invisib1e hand]

...It took approximately five minutes for reporters to figure out that one of Paterson’s ex-girlfriends was a $150,000 employee in the governor’s office of — yes! — intergovernmental affairs.

So, really, Spitzer's deal was a bargain in comparison.

And this guy's gonna balance the budget?

You will notice, in the last sentence, she comes to the same conslusion as many Freepers......popcorn!

Politics and politicians ain’t crooked. NAH!!!!/sarc

room charged to “constituent services”

Which he has now agreed to repay.

This makes it's all better - for a dimRat.

We all know what would happen were he a pubby...or an ordinary citizen

[Drango]

This is what happens when a bunch of guys go to a place where their families can’t keep tabs on them...

What twaddle. Gail is projecting.

[Ann Archy]

Nothing will happen to this guy....he’s a Democrat who is blind and black!! A Republican would have been out on his keister.

"Lucky for Paterson, most of the state still feels that he is way better than what we’re likely to wind up with if we go rummaging through the line of succession looking for someone who never committed adultery."

UNFORTUNATELY, he's also guilty of numerous campaign finance violations.

No, lucky for Paterson that (1) the voters here in the People's Republic of New York are dopes to start with, and (2) media like the NY Slimes and pollsters like the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute are protecting him.

[FastCoyote]

It’s like Christmas in March. With Spitzer gone and Hillary and Obama in a death spiral, I half expect Fat Teddy to admit Chappaquiddick.

David Paterson Sexual Affairs Emblematic of Our Times or NY Politics?

David Paterson Sexual Affairs Emblematic of Demonrat Politicians?

There, fixed.

[ExtremeUnction]

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.

[longtermmemmory]

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

[jmaroneps37]

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.

[goldstategop]

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

[Fred]

Let Paterson stay and be used as a CRASH TEST DUMMIE until the next election, and maybe, just maybe, the NY GOP can get one of their own in...Just try and keep the sex scandals to one maybe two at most....

[Fred]

These sleaze bags are starting to make Rudy look like the Pope...
