WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE.....Bill Lynch, a top Democrat, advised Paterson to reveal his affairs.
Gov. Paterson is angrily blaming former Deputy Mayor and long time Democratic operative Bill Lynch for the "disastrous advice" to disclose his extramarital affairs......."Lynch helped the city's first black mayor lose office, and now he's helping the state's first black governor do the same." Lynch, a deputy to Mayor David Dinkins and a lobbyist who brags of his ties to public officials, played a key role in convincing the new governor he could end widespread rumors of martial infidelities if he simply disclosed their existence.....Instead, the disclosure - initially incomplete - triggered a damaging media frenzy that still continues. "It was the wrong advice, and it has damaged David badly," said a source who knows Paterson well. Several sources said Paterson has privately conceded that his public disclosures - first in an interview and then at a tense, and bizarre, press conference with Michelle at his side - were a major mistake. Democratic officials also fear that Paterson may have been so badly damaged by the disclosures that he will have little chance to attract the tens of millions he would need to mount a 2010 campaign for governor. Paterson ducked questions and received chants of "David! David!" from a jubilant crowd during an appearance before Al Sharpton's National Action Network in Harlem.......powwowed with Sharpton and made a brief speech about fairness..... "Just as it is always important not to forget where you came from, which I will not do, it is also important not to exclude anyone else in the way we were excluded for so many years by others," Paterson told the crowd.

Playing the race card again - He's black, so he gets a Get Out of Jail FREE card....
BTW, why is Wm Jefferson of N.O. still sitting in his seat in DC? And did I read somewhere that the $90,000 Cold Cash had to be returned to him?
When is this faction of blacks ever going to listen to the Cosby's factions? They scream for equality while demanding special breaks.
How many decades are they supposed to get special treatment - like the black preacher that blasts obamamama, to demand Affirmative Action privileges is to admit they are somehow inferior and need special breaks.
They want race dialogs? Start with having 'dialog' with the other faction of blacks in this country = like the Black Republicans of America, the opposing black preachers, Bill Cosby, etc....at least they can freely speak.
It's disingenuous to say you want "dialog" at this point with whites, who are so restricted by PC that they come to the table gagged.
Good grief, remember the guy in DC that was fired for using the word "niggardly" in a sentence - a word having NOTHING to do with race.
There are no words to describe my happiness in reading this.
Patterson mast have a clearance since homeland security works closely with the Governer’s office.How long do you think he can hold on to his?

Lol. He's on a roll.
Question is did he lie to get it and/or keep it?
Now Look who seems to be moving into Spitzer Chair!:)
Some one up there has a since of humor!
Thanks for the post/comments.
Eliot steamrolled over his own appendage, Paterson used a backhoe. /sarcasm (apologies to FReeper backhoe)
What don’t they blame on race? jezz. Enough is enough.
A black man should have known no good would come of advice from a man named Lynch.
That would make him a swine. But we don’t know that so it would be better not add insult to his injury.
He probably lied,his character semms to be pretty flawed,AND he IS a Democrat.
Since the pretended “disclosures” were immediately proved grossly incomplete and inaccurate, the attempt was a farce. Whether or not the advisor knew that the Gov. would provide such a dishonest rendering of numerous affairs, including misuse of campaign funds, the fact is that by raising the issue the Gov. invited people who knew the press conference was dishonest to contradict and expand upon the Gov’s account.
Are you saying this was a homosexual affair? (I am not up to speed on this story.)
Did he use a backhoe or a Blackho?? My appologies to Rev. Sharpton.

Spitzer Successor Boasts He Never Had to Pay Any of His Own Money for Sex
New York’s Governor David Paterson (D) boasted that unlike his predecessor, the disgraced former Democratic Governor Eliot Spitzer, he’s never paid high or low priced prostitutes for sex.
“Eliot doesn’t have mojo,” Paterson asserted. “When you’ve got mojo like I have the babes beg for it.”
Mojo, however, may not have been Paterson’s only asset in wooing the babes. It appears that campaign cash and appointments to state jobs may have played a role in greasing the skids for his liaisons.
At least two state employees have been alleged to have had illicit trysts with Paterson “during the rocky years of his marriage.” While there is no evidence of direct cash payments to any of the women, expenses incurred for hotels, meals, and “incidentals” were billed to his campaign as “constituent services.”
Paterson explained that he didn’t feel it was right for constituents to service him at their expense. “I am a gentleman,” Paterson said. “No gentleman makes a lady pay, especially if she is a constituent.”
