Stolen Quote of the Day


"Just so we don't have to go through this whole resignation thing again," one ballsy reporter asked, "have you ever patronized a prostitute?" Paterson thought for a minute. "Only the lobbyists," he said.


-Soon to be New York Governor David Paterson

Stolen from Salon.

A great question & a great answer!

It's so obvious, yet a great response!

God help Mr. Paterson. He inherited a mess-- a $4.4 Billion budget shortfall.

Am I the only one who found Spitzer's tale interesting for about three minutes, then hated it because it turned America into Jay Leno, with the same three unfunny jokes?

"What do you get for that much, ha ha ha ha?" "What's a seven diamond girl look like, ha ha haw?" "I can't believe his wife had to stand next to him, haw haw haw [snort]!"

Sigh.

I contest that it's actually the prossie who is the blind one in this story. Have you SEEN Spitzer?

Great answer from Paterson. He's going to be good.
