What, I wonder, could possibly attribute to the fall of our Governors?
Do you think that our elected officials are in cahoots with Dick Wolf? They give him fodder for his Law and Order franchise, he casts someone really compelling, handsome, youthful, to portray them?
Governor Paterson, poor misguided thing, immediately upon taking office claimed that he did drugs and had an extra marital affair. Are confessions absolution? Now, ducking and parrying with the finesse of Ali, he is steadfastly holding onto his crown. Why?
We all know the sexual predilections of his predecessor. And the outfit he apparently opted from during his transgressions.
And while he was no longer the Governor, but I think we could surmise that this wasn't his first romp, we have Nelson Rockefeller dying in a way that most of us long for, in our beds. However, the ultimate long term sleep sedative, an orgasm, wasn't the way he thought he'd go, I imagine.
Even, way back when in 1913, a mini research project told me that William Sulzer, while keeping it in his pants, did fall victim to a vice of dipping into the campaign funds that helped elect him. Or some such thing.
New York, as we know, is not the only state that has witnessed the dance of the deranged. I think it simply holds the record.
Whose up next?
A reasonable campaign slogan might be "let he that has not sinned cast the first stone." Takes the pressure off, don't you think?
