Senate Minority Leader David Paterson, D-Harlem, channeled David Letterman tonight and offered a Top 10 list of reasons why he’s running for lieutenant governor as AG Eliot Spitzer’s No. 2.
(I did not make this up. Paterson read them out loud while standing on a stage in front of a room full of people in Buffalo at a party held in his honor).
#10 Because I want to boss around Republicans.
#9 There will be fewer bad hair days than with Mary Donohue.
#8 Because State Troopers drive you around, I won’t have to drive anymore.
#7 Because a free face lift comes with the job.
#6, #6, #6…I forgot…(Takes piece of paper out of his pocket and holds it to his face). Subpoena? No, that’s not it. So I won’t get investigated by Eliot Spitzer. (Big cheer from crowd).
#5 You get to fart in the executive bathroom. (Yes, he actually said that).
#4 Absolutely greed. (Yup. That, too).
#3 I’ll do anything to get away from Eric Schneiderman.
#2 Because Stan Lundine was not available.
#1 To spend more time at home.
Funny!
