NEW YORK’S HORNY GOVERNOR FINALLY QUITS RACE!
It seems that New York’s governors just can’t keep their toys in their pants. David Paterson, New York’s sexually active but not so bright Eliot Spitz governor replacement, has finally decided not to run for re-election. Here is the Reuter’s account:
“I am being realistic about politics,” the Democratic governor, who had been under growing pressure to pull out, told a hastily called news conference in New York City.
“There are times in politics when you have to know not to strive for service but to step back, and that moment has come for me,” he said. “Today I am announcing that I am ending my campaign for governor of the state of New York.”
Paterson, who took the job in 2008 when former Governor Eliot Spitzer resigned amid a prostitution scandal, only kicked off his campaign to seek his first full term last week.
The move follows revelations that he spoke with a woman who had accused a top governor’s aide of assault. After speaking with the governor, the woman failed to appear in court and her case was dismissed, according to a New York Times article that disclosed the case this week.
The case raised questions of possible inappropriate intervention by the governor and added to calls from state and national Democratic leaders for Paterson to withdraw.
Paterson at the news conference denied that he had abused his office, “not now, not ever.”
The move shifts the spotlight to Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, who was expected to challenge the increasingly unpopular Paterson for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination.

Some would question the enlarged brain part, or at least the implication that a larger brain leads to smarter behavior.
MadMike: The colored stripes on the tie are probably coded to represent his various kinks for the enlightenment of any interested females in the area, like the gay hanky code in the old days.
(A peccadillo is a cross between a woodpecker and an armadillo, right? So he breeds exotic animals too?)
Jerry Critter: Read up on chimpanzee social organization. The males compete for status within the dominance hierarchy of the social group, and the females mostly go for the males who come out on top in status and power (which is part of the incentive for the males to claw their way to the top). It’s pretty much the whole basis of their society. Remind you of another species you know? Humans are basically just chimpanzees with enlarged brains.
LMFAO @ Jerry Critter!
What is it about men, politics, power, and their penises, or peni?
I guess mental masturbation is not enough for them.
By the way, and off topic, did you notice that tie. Was he dressed by a blind man? Oh! I forgot…. 🙂
Infidel that is a big, big part of that story, and from my research tells me this guy is seriously bad news, and, like Leslie points out, is not too bright. I thought Spitzer should have stayed in office. Bad advisors.
It seems the New York Times is about to release a big story on the governor’s peccadilloes. From what I understand it will make all the other political adulterers look like neophytes.
It doesn’t seem to be his own extra-curricular shagging that’s the issue, but rather intimidation of his aide’s victim.
Besides, he looks like the evil version of Mr. Spock.
Way to go, Hill. Personally, I’ve never thought being horny was a crime. Apparently he and his wife have this New Age kind of marriage, sort of a mutual agreement kind of relationship type of thingy.
I don’t like the guy and also think he’s stupid and inadequate – well maybe or maybe not in bed. However, comma, what ever happened to “innocent until proven guilty?” Ten to one, he’s guilty as sin for misconduct, but still. . . .
Very well, I’m partial to truffles, Hill. LMFAO with that one!!! No, on the contrary … continue?????
Nice catch MM.
I got to be honest with you. I feel kind of bad for the guy. I mean, he’s getting frigging dumped on by everybody. If I were advising him, I’d consult him to hang in there just to piss people off (which thoroughly explains why I’m not advising anybody).
As Jim Bunging could tell him, “shit happens”.
Let’s hope Cuomo is the third time lucky.
‘Strive for service’ means I want to get a lot of money for pretending to give a shit about the people.
Me? Cynical about politicians?…Never!
LOL! Maybe he didn’t have “sex with that woman.”
(((H)))
Horny is like a box of chocolates…
No, wait, that was life, huh?
😉
Maybe he can hike the Appalachian Trail?
Make me stop. Please.
LOL!
