Isn’t it obvious? New York’s new governor does not want the job, he is scared bleepless at the prospect of being governor for the next three years and he is trying to talk his way out of office.
This all started, oh, a few hours after he was sworn in. His first act as governor, admit to a series of affairs that he, and his wife, had. Then, it is revealed that he misued public funds for to pay for his flings at the Days Inn. Even better, he used campaign funds at Men’s Warehouse and even to pay off his bar tab. I mean really, what is going on here.
Now Patterson has gone and done this,
NY Gov. Paterson says he used cocaine
NEW YORK – Gov. David Paterson said Monday he used cocaine in his 20s and smoked marijuana when he was younger. In reference to cocaine, Paterson, 53, said in a television interview that he “tried it a couple of times” when he was “about 22 or 23.”
“And marijuana probably when I was about 20,” he said on the NY1 cable news station. “I don’t think I touched marijuana since the ’70s.”
If this is not a cry for help, I don’t know what is. The man does not want the job. What will he admit to next? His close relationship with Reverand Wright? That weekend he spent on an space ship with Dennis Kuchinich? Will he tell us that fire can’t burn steel? Where will it end?
