"Bombshell" to Explode Governor Paterson?

The rumor mill is churning right now about a "big, damaging" New York Times "bombshell" story that supposedly features some ruinous dirt about the personal life of Governor David Paterson. Elizabeth Benjamin at the Daily News hears it "will be far worse than his acknowledged extramarital affair with a former state employee."

whenever the leftist media attack one of their own, there’s a reason.....probably to support Cuomo....

[Integrityrocks]

I suppose speculation is entirely a human reaction but let’s PLEASE try to be dignified and not subscribe to character assassination until the facts are presented.

I know, I’m Pollyanna.

[Col Frank Slade]

Yea, that’s the ticket”

[FroggyTheGremlim]

The Democrats don’t like negroes in positions of power.

[skully]

Doing Cuomo’s dirty work.

Exactly. The downstate libtards want Cuomo on the ticket. Maybe they're hoping this will get Patterson out and there won't have to be a primary. Though the rumors in the article, don't seem to indicate that this is “bombshell” material.

[Plutarch]

Poor Paterson has displeased Obama. That is the only way the NYT is going to drop any bombshells on a Dem.

The NYT will never publish anything that will knot the brow of a Dem, unless that Dem is on the outs in the party.

[GUNGAGALUNGA]

Wonder if Patterson has seen this coming?

[Phantom Lord]

They are only going after him because he is a black guy.

Seriously. Look at any black democrat that attempts to go for higher office. The NY Democratic party, and often the DNC get into the game to force them out of such ambitions.

Paterson is there by a total fluke.

[utahagen]

He’s black and blind and he’s already been let off the hook for serial adultery. What the devil could anyone get him on?

[shadeaud]

He’s Christian.

[AdaGray]

Why is this even necessary. The man has no chance of getting re-elected anyway.

just a stone’s throw away from....NEW JERSEY!!!

[TexasCajun]

Larry! ...You haven’t been to New York lately have you?

[toofast2]

Speaking of Gov. Patterson,

Have you seen his new suit?

Neither has he!

Sorry, couldn’t resist.

[ml/nj]

I smell a Cuomo-Obama Rat.

Paterson wouldn't be my first choice for NY Gov, but for a Dim he seems pretty decent.

btt

[TrueKnightGalahad]

A blind swinger?

Yup -- ya gotta hand it to him!

[Happyinmygarden]

He might have been spotted by democrat operatives while attending church

LOL Maybe he told someone he's a born again Christian and they ran to the newspaper. That would definitely be against the rules and quite a scandal if you're a DEM.

The story everybody’s talking about (but no one’s read)

"The last few weeks have brought two major eruptions of rumors concerning Paterson’s private life: reports of nuzzling at a New Jersey restaurant and being caught in semi-flagrante in a utility closet in the Governor’s Mansion — stories that Paterson and his press office have vehemently denied."
