New Gov of NY, blind black man

[Spindrift]

The new governor of New York is David Paterson, who is the 3rd black US gov since Reconstruction.

He's also partially blind. Actually sounds like a decent guy. However, it being New York, I wonder what is hidden in his closet.

White canes?

Are Patterson and Mike Murdoch buddies?

Hey! Where-a-you from, already? Chicago?

White canes?

A guitar and a bunch of albums he made before getting into politics?

Connecticut. Gubernatorial scandals seem to be a tri-state tradition as of late: Rowland, McGreevey and now Spitzer.

God damn. I thought my comment was borderline inappropriate.

:D

Does he know he's black?

Well, regardless, the "petite, very pretty brunettes" he hires should be much cheaper than $4000.


Uh, yeah. She's absolutely gorgeous!

Are you referring to that old rule that a true Blues singer must have a name that is 1. a disability 2. a fruit and 3. a president's last name? Or course, Blind Lemon Pledge violated the rule, but got away with it.

It appears there's a woman in that closet:

Paterson actually made that joke when he was first selected by Spitzer to be on the ticket. A reporter asked him how it felt that he could be the State's first black and blind Lieutenant Governor and he joked "I'm black?!"

To be more exact, it appears there used to be a woman there, and a marriage that for a time looked like it was headed to the rocks. What there definitely is is a blind black guy giving a lesson to any aspiring politician in how to handle revelations like this.

[SDC]

Actually, it now looks like there used to be women there, and an official site for assignations (a hotel at 94th and B'way, which must be feeling pretty smug now). Look, I'm OK with this. It beats either Spitzer's arrangements, or what went on in Detroit. But then I believe the whole purpose of politics is to provide material for ongoing, entertaining, public soap operas.

If blind, then he's unlikely have his attention diverted by the next pretty face who shows up.

Hmmm. (Considers above links)

How blind is blind? :cool:

Federal prosecutors must still decide whether to pursue charges against Spitzer. The married father of three teenage girls was accused of spending tens of thousands of dollars on prostitutes — including a call girl in Washington the night before Valentine’s Day.
Oh, Elliot, you hopeless romantic.

We have many, many blind politicians already.
