Things We Lost In the Fire (And By Fire I Mean Snow Storm): David Paterson Fake Scandal Edition
So The New York Times "expose" on embattled Gov. David L. Paterson finally came out and instead of being Hot!Haute!Hot! it was Not!Nyet!Not! Apparently he has this aide, you see, who is a "scary black man." After all that hype! I read through the thing waiting for the other shoe to drop ("Is he a freak?" "Did he take bribes?" "Are they lovers?") But nada. All we got was some dude with a criminal record of some sorts and may or may not be an asshole. Ooooo. On a scale of political scandals with the perennial "dead hooker/live boy" being a 10 and Hillary Clinton making shizz up (Re: Sarajevo) being an annoying, but not career ending one, this one scored a -11 on the Political Terrorism scale. People thought Paterson was going to exit, stage right, over this? An aide who went through the system and as far as I can tell, has paid his debts to society, started over and now has a iffy background when it comes to maybe or maybe not girlfriend abuse? Again, if aide David W. Johnson is a beater, that's awful. But what's that got to do with Paterson?
Gawker is reporting that this was not the Big! Important! Bombshell! story we were looking for. That there really is a spicier story coming out soon profiling the Governor. I'm not going to hold my breath, but unless that MFer ISN'T REALLY BLIND I don't care. They're predicting he's a drunk in a loveless marriage. Well, welcome to the club, Pattycakes. Does this mean the expose will be full of stories about Gov. Pattycakes getting all tipsy and sad, wandering the halls of the governor's mansion pretending to accidentally grope people just so he can FEEL SOMETHING?!?!?!
Booooo! Hissssss! This is turning into a bull shitty Vickie Iseman redux.

BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA
you nailed it Snob.
the big story wasn't even about HIM?
wasting my time.
The NYT article aside, Paterson is out of his league and doesn't seem to be qualified to be Gov. I hope NY'ers will find someone better qualified to lead them.

Have a Great Afternoon Good PEOPLE!

I doubt there is any truth to that swingers rumor either.
Conservatives are lying in wait for Paterson.....waiting to whack him on the kneecaps....just like Tonya Harding and like Nancy Kerrigan he will go down but bounce back.

Conservatives don't have to lie in wait for Patterson as he is doing an excellent job of screwing up on his own.
Anyone see the new Peterson allegations? This is getting good.
