Paterson to resign over sex next? Is there ANY, I mean ANY political leaders that CAN keep their pants on? My God what have we come to… rumor says the Paterson and his wife are swinger???? Also gov has gambling issues?
We are not only the most dysfunctional state, most corrupt state but a state full of political whores in both senses of the word. I guess we have to wait to see the story and what Patersons future will be. Will we be handed the newly appointed LT Gov? What will the Democrats do now? Appoint Silver, Smith, Cuomo? We are so screwed in this state.
We spoke with a member of Governor Paterson’s communications team who denies that the governor is planning to resign. The official confirmed that a New York Times story is in the works but says it will not run Monday.
Original post: This past week, a rumor emerged that the New York Times is working on a huge bombshell with plans to “Spitzerize” New York governor David Paterson.
Several media outlets have reported on these rumors.
Elizabeth Benjamin at The Daily News describes the report as “much worse” than the governor’s previous admission of an affair with a state employee, though she declines to name NYT by name.
We’ve now heard from a single source familiar with the goings on at the Governor’s office that the story will likely drop on Monday, and that the governor’s resignation will follow.
We’ve not yet confirmed the timing of the article or the governor’s future plans.
