Bubba - you're absolutely right - that is exactly how the neu yawk liberals will see him however, he is done. He is now, formally and forever outta the picture.
And what do they say - even a blind hog can find an acorn?? Looks like that's exactly what happened with paterson but he is just gonna finish out spitzer's term and then go home. I don't know how he feels about having Joe Bruno up his backside - Joe would become the next governor if something happened to paterson, but paterson has already made about the dumbest dang statement I have ever heard - he wants the cops to train not to shoot to kill but to wound. Oh boy- ya kin tell this guy is a politician without any base in reality. And here he has been the guy in the background for so long.
An astute politician apparently, never in the limelight, but what kinda idjit would tell cops to only shoot to wound. I can see the scenario now - 'Well . Mr. Governor, we thought this guy had a gun but under your guidelines me and my five fellow officers only shot to try and wound this guy and discourage him from shooting us dead. OK, so we shot him 83 times (and reloaded twice in the process) - problem was that we couldn't tell if the non-lethal bullets you made us use in wounding the guy had any effect, see what we mean - it was as though none of the bullets were actually wounding him. So anyhow, we think this guy has finally been knocked unconscious from being shot inna head 30 or 40 times with non-lethal bullets, so we jumped him and in the process he shot himself about 8 or 9 times with the stolen semi-auto pistol he was carrying that was loaded with real bullets. Dang, he even shot himself twice inna head with that gun. It was a close encounter, and dangerous, but we follered yor guidance'..............

Oh yeah - now whatcha think about this::: the dems are gonna lose the white house. McCain is steamrollin' and pickin' up all his national support while klinton and obama are still in a marathon to see who might get the nomination. When they lose the white house they will blame each other but billary has a possible future here - she can run for governor of neu yawk. She can spend lots of time in the limelight here in ny back pattin' ol paterson and settin' herself up to run for the governor's seat. Who's gonna run against her - cuomo doesn't stand a chance against her and neither does any other dumbocrap. Obama will just go home and still be the jr. Senator without being able to pick up anything but the same experience he has now, just more of it. billary can hype being governor for 4 yrs and I think that will swing a lot of people her way, especially if she can lie about boing this and that for the upstate economy, and the oppressed, and crime, and alla that bs.
