Liz found an Associated Press correction that sets the record straight on Paterson: He won't be the first blind governor in the U.S.
NEW YORK (AP) - In March 12 and 13 stories about New York Lt. Gov. David Paterson becoming the next governor following Eliot Spitzer's resignation, The Associated Press reported erroneously that Paterson would be the nation's first blind governor. Bob Riley, who was legally blind, was governor of Arkansas for 11 days in 1975."
Oh well. He still is the first blind governor in New York's history, which is still quite an honor. |
