Ousted NY Assemblyman and corrupt Dem party boss Clarence Norman Norman was tried, convicted, and received successive jail-time for similar campaign transgressions Paterson admits to. Norman used campaign funds for pricey clothes and shoes.....and more. Norman was sentenced to 2-6 in prison for not reporting thousands of dollars in in-kind political contributions and pocketing a $5,000 check intended for his re-election committee.

DID PATERSON DO THIS?

(1) Norman was accused of filing vouchers for travel expenses with the Assembly even though the Kings County Democratic Party had already footed the bill.

(2) Norman was sentenced last month to 2-6 years in prison for not reporting thousands of dollars in in-kind political contributions and pocketing a $5,000 check intended for his re-election committee.

“Lynch helped the city’s first black mayor lose office, and now he’s helping the state’s first black governor do the same.”

Nah, he wouldn’t be playing the “They’re going after me because I’m black” card, would he??

and Ears thinks we can move beyond this, when everyone of color screams racism at the drop of a hat..

Gov. Paterson is angrily blaming former Deputy Mayor and long time Democratic operative Bill Lynch for the "disastrous advice" to disclose his extramarital affairs......."

Hmm. One step shy of actually blaming him for the affairs themselves. And not a very big step.

Maybe if you had kept yourself under control, sir; and not cavorted with associates and bimbos in cheap hotels and bought furniture and all that other stuff (who knows what).

Do you think, bozo, if you had carried yourself with dignity and honor, that you would have needed your former friend's advise?

Snort. If Paterson was dumb enough to think that a modified limited hangout would work, that’s on his own head.

Paterson kind of had it made, didn’t he? He was a Lieutenant Governor (what exactly do LG’s do?)...he could fly under the radar, do all these things and nobody really cares...and then...he’s moved up the ladder, probably something he didn’t really aspire to, and then he loses all his goodies, and now, he may even lose his job in a humiliating fashion. Remember people, what you do when you think you won’t get caught usually comes back to haunt you. All of this is just crazy...Can you imagine if they were Republican, though? They would attach it to McCain, for sure.

Rush speculated (haven’t heard this anywhere else) that the guy that Paterson cuckolded didn’t know about it until Paterson started blabing about it. Poor guy.

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.

Powwowed with Sharpton, then played the Race Card.

Sure didn't see that comin'.

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.

Mmmm.... Another one of those politicians who transcends race? Or maybe he meant legally blind people.

Thanks for the post/comments.

Eliot steamrolled over his own appendage, Paterson used a backhoe. /sarcasm (apologies to FReeper backhoe)

A black man should have known no good would come of advice from a man named Lynch.

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.
