"Tell her the governor wants her to make this go away"

The drip from the Times keeps dripping and it keeps getting worse.

A key figure in the domestic abuse scandal bedeviling Gov. David A. Paterson told investigators that the governor phoned to enlist her help in quieting the accuser, according to a person with knowledge of her account.

"Tell her the governor wants her to make this go away," Deneane Brown said Mr. Paterson told her, according to the person. Ms. Brown, a state worker, was friends with both the governor and the woman who says that a senior aide to Mr. Paterson roughed her up in a violent Halloween altercation.

It's certainly not going away now, is it?

Unbelievable.

"Women's equality" (0.00 / 0)
"Women's equality" and "women's issues" are great abstract concepts for most politicians, but especially abstract to members of the NYC establishment (of which David Paterson is one - Harlem branch, although we could say the same for other prominent NYC based politicians and their staffs).  When it comes to, uh, ACTUAL WOMEN IN FRONT OF THEM, that's a different ballgame altogether.  Somehow, to them, women cause these troubles by their very presence around powerful men and their staffs, and so it is a "reasonable request" probably for these politicians, to ask that they (the women) "make it go away."

So if women are really that powerful that they cause all these troubles and have the power to make them go away, what the hell are these women doing wasting their power in Albany where men have them in a box?


Question. (0.00 / 0)
Would a future Governor Ravitch have enough legislative friends to get a budget passed?

We know that the Governor certainly doesn't.

This is going to be a long and nasty mess.


We've got some work ahead of us.


Ravitch....maybe (0.00 / 0)
he has a lot more respect, but there might be sour grapes from someone like Espada who may feel he's the rightful governor.

No. (0.00 / 0)
Because it'll be in court for 4 months on whether he even IS the Governor.

Isn't that settled? (0.00 / 0)
There isn't a federal issue here, and the highest court in the state has ruled in favor of Ravitch. I've read you state that you don't agree with the ruling, but I've asked for advice on this and been told by several lawyers that it is settled law, at this point.

[ Parent ]
I understand that its settled (0.00 / 0)
as far as his position as Lt Gov, but you know if Paterson resigns Espada will sue, this will go right back to court again and no lower court will have the balls to throw it out, so it has to make its way right back up the chain again.
