I believe there must be something in the water in NY.

Before our new governor, David Paterson will get to enjoy his new title, he may be out of his new job.


He has admitted to having an extramarital affair, or 3. His wife also had an affair during a time when their marriage was shaky.


So far, no problem.

It seems now, however, that Paterson gave favors to one of the women, in the form of a cushy job. As well, it seems that he used campaign money to rent the hotel rooms, during these affairs.


Ironic is the fact that if Paterson is shown the door, Joe Bruno will be the new, new, new governor.


Bruno was investigated, and persecuted by Spitzer for his own brand of scandal. As a result, the Bruno/Spitzer spat caused gridlock in the NY legislature.



And the saga continues....


National Ledger - Sex Scandal Grows: Secret Tapes, Diane Dixon, David & Michelle Paterson




The claim is that she received a job via the new governor. In the Post she is quoted, "I'm a single mom with a child. I need this job." According to the Post Dixon, 43, said Paterson, 53, was "mostly responsible" for getting her the badly needed job earlier this month with the city Department of Education. The job pays somewhere between fifty and sixty five thousand dollars a year. Oh the humanity!



Joe Bruno to assume powers of a lt. governor; gets key vote in Albany



However, Bruno will assume the powers of a lieutenant governor, including the ability to cast a deciding vote in the event of a tie in the Senate. He would also act as governor if Paterson is out of state or incapacitated.

If Paterson isn't able to complete the rest of Eliot Spitzer's term, the Senate majority leader becomes governor, and a new majority leader, if one has been elected, would then be next in line of succession

I agree. What the hell is up with NY state politics? You have to include Hillary in there, too. Electing someone to the Senate who is obviously using the position as a stepping stone to run for president??? Electing an outsider as their senator who could not have won in her home states of Arkansas or Illinois?

There are those who say she got the "pity" vote, for having endured a slut for a husband.

Meanwhile, Giuliani had to drop out, because he too was a slut, (he must be drinking the water too.) He was also fighting cancer.


So that made it fairly easy to win the seat, vacated by longtime veteran Patrick Moynihan.




Yep, this party going on in Albany has long been one of questionable practices, and cronyism....sounds familiar.

Clearly, the water in the entire tri-state area should be tested.

New York: Eliot Spitzer and his hookers. David Patterson and his extramarital affairs, paying for it with campaign money, and political patronage.

New Jersey: Jim McGreevey and his "I am a Gay American" speech, followed by his messy, sordid divorce, featuring sexual harassment and three-ways. John Corzine's drivers doing in excess of 100mph with an unbelted Corzine in the vehicle.

Connecticut: John Rowland and his shenanigans.

Judging by what's going on in this state's capital, you would think I was eating Viagra by the handful!

Thankfully, there are no moose in rut up there. They are bad enough where I live.
