New York Governors - they just keep coming, and coming, and coming.
That the Big Sh*tty voting population can’t do any better than a black, blind, philanderer to replace white, short-sighted, philanderer who just left the Governor’s office says much about the Big Sh*tty mentality.
One could make a case that what Dr. King meant when he wanted a color blond America was an America where philanderers of any color, visual acuity, etc, would not be elected to high office.
Having driven my Volkswagen MicroBus to the first March On Washington, I don’t remember any speaker who announced his past affairs, let alone affairs with subordinate employees.
One wonders if this government employee did therefore advance her career and that state money was spent on the affairs.
Note the hotel, too.
Actually, Paterson was only technically elected to the position of lieutenant governor, since in NY, the lieutenant governor runs in tandem with the governor on one indivisible ticket - analagous to vice presidential candidates running together with their respective presidential running mates. So voters for Spitzer were automatically voting for Paterson as well, which is a major reason why Paterson was underscrutinized.
BTW, as you probably know, it's been well documented (albeit by sleazy means) that Dr. King himself was a philanderer.
