Did ya hear the one about the new Governor of New York.

Instead of flying to Washington and spending 4100 per hour he takes the subway and does it at the Days Inn.

Jack, does that Inn you mentioned rent by the minute or hour?

I think it is great that Paterson cleared the slate at his earliest opportunity. His discussion of the events was a lot more forthcoming than Spitzer's, or Clinton's, and if he and his wife worked through their problems and stayed together-- good for them!

I think he deserves a chance to take care of the state's business, and that if people want to dwell on negativity they might better look to their own lives for areas to spotlight.

Some people just see some humor in the fact that he took the subway and stayed at the Days Inn. People who always see negativity in others where there might just be some lighthearted humor might want to look to their own lives for negativity to spotlight.

Maybe they all just want the voters to know they are in possession of working weenies.

WYSIWYG, I don't think one little joke is going to keep him from doing the state's business.

The contrast between the two men is amusing. Of course if I were living in New York, I would prefer the guy whose...selfesteem... was so small that he thought it necessary to spend thousands of dollars just to get laid.

I don't admire anything that Paterson did. But his frugality is refreshing. Hopefully Paterson will achieve his self esteem from serving his State.
