U.S.: David Paterson’s staff also personally fraught with scandal

  • I’m glad you’re doing this, because I thought it was going to be swept under the table because he’s like a government official, and I have problems even calling the police because the state troopers kept calling me and harassing me to drop the charges, and I wouldn’t.
  • A woman accusing an aide of New York Gov. David Paterson of domestic abuse • Speaking at Family Court proceedings. The aide, David W. Johnson, reportedly has a history of altercations with women, and has now been suspended without pay. The reason this case is such a huge deal? Johnson – and Paterson himself – reportedly overstepped his bounds of power and got the State Police to pressure the woman do drop her case. That’s really bad, and Paterson has been quick to react in the wake of the fresh scandal. source

Politics: We’d like to correct David Paterson’s reelection run speech

  • There’s so many people saying, ‘you shouldn’t run for governor.’ But you need to know this is a governor who does not quit will not win.
  • New York Gov. David Paterson • Who brushed off a New York Times article which should have been murder for his reelection chances to announce his plans today. Paterson, who is unpopular in his state, faces a challenge in the Democratic primary from Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, who, like the last attorney general (Eliot Spitzer) has bolstered his rep in that position. Paterson, on the other hand, is trying to use his underdog status – he has just $3 million in the bank, which is anemic for a gubernatorial campaign – to his advantage. Good luck with that, bro. This ain’t no movie comeback story where the underdog wins. source

Politics: Mrs. Paterson to Obama: Don’t #(^@ with my governor hubby!

  • David’s the first African-American governor in the state of New York and he’s being asked to get out of the race. It’s very unusual and it seems very unfair.
  • Michelle Paterson • On the controversy surrounding her husband, New York Governor David Paterson, who the Obama administration recently asked to leave the race. Going further, Paterson says: “I think he was stunned. Like I said this is very unusual.” Well, Obama … he’s not leaving the race. • source

U.S.: You know David Paterson sucks when Obama asks him not to run

  • The New York governor hangs his head in shame. You know it sucks to be David Paterson right now. You’re legally blind AND you replaced a guy who frequented a high-priced call girl. But you’re still somehow doing worse than your predecessor. So much so that the Obama administration has asked you to not run in 2010, for fear of residual effects. You suck so much apparently, David, that you can’t be allowed to stay in office. Aww. It’ll be OK, man. source
