and the $151,000-a-year employee

Let's state for the record that NYS is the highest taxed state in the union with the most bloated state payroll, oh, and this employee basically did nothing for a extremely generous salary. Oh, and people are leaving NY in DROVES because of the ever increasing tax burden. NY SUCKS to live in, nice to visit.

Why is it that paid state employees can just go an work for Presidential campaigns and still get paid by the state?
Why can a Senator just not show up and still get paid?

Where do I get a job like that?

Okay... so here's the report card on the new governor so recently inaugurated:

- He and his wife are unfaithful to each other
- He's into cocaine
- He bills the state for his trists and political trips

Did I miss any? We're going to need to keep a running tally at the rate he's going...

Waiting for the resignation press conference................

Yeah, like NYS is gonna see Gov. Bruno any time soon, eh? :)

Paterson's gotta get-outta-jail-free card for the rest of his term unless the Feds take this guy off our hands.

“Okay, so who’s on deck?”

Speaker of the House, Joe Bruno (R). He’s the guy Spitzer tried to smear with “troopergate”

You beat me to it. I think they misspelled it. Should be “Cockfeeled”. It’s a job description in Paterson’s office.

Wanna bet the liberal media starts with the theme that we should just move on?

Maybe we could make up something like the March Madness Office Pool?

In other words, a career bureaucrat.
