It's not like New York State has the only deeply flawed human being as its governor. South Carolina has Mark Sanford, politician, family man and ersatz hiking enthusiast. Rod "Blacker than Barack" Blagojevich of Illinois is out of office but still on TV in Celebrity Apprentice. Rod, how can we forget you when you won't go away?
But it's true that New York's governor David Paterson is hanging on for dear political life to a post he didn't earn but lucked into due to someone else's scandal. His cheating? We already had sex scandal fatigue when we found out. New Yorkers said, "Oh, that again? Next!"
He accepted tickets to the World Series then tried to cover it up with a back-dated check forged by someone else. That is like scaling the Everest of ineptitude. But yeah, whatever, Yankee tickets. People have done worse.
But calling a battered woman to keep her from testifying against his closest aide? I'm not even sure what to call that--too many epithets apply. Paterson has finally announced he will not run for re(haha)election. But he insists he will remain in office until the end of the year.
To honor his momentous decision to overstay his welcome in Albany and politics in general, I have created this greeting card. It's available at someecards.com, for you to send a quick and easy shout out to your New York friends.

The New Yorker did an article about Paterson called Troubled State.

Niiiice.
I love finding the perfect card for an occasion, don't you?
:-D A.
Reminds me of our upcoming California state gubernatorial race. It's a tossup between a clinically insane 70's relic (Jerry Brown), and a corporate shill who simply will not participate in debates (Meg Whitman). What the hell is happening to our system when our two choices are no choice at all?
slommler: Thanks, SueAnn!
Anna Lefler: Yes, and I think there's going to be quite a market for ones about New Yorkers getting screwed.
HermanTurnip: I feel your pain. When are these guys going to realize their shenanigans hurt their constituents? And care?
Funny Card!
Sounds like an interesting race and your eCard is absolutely perfect!
