Good-bye, Gov. Paterson
This will sink him. … Let’s get this straight: A top aide to the governor allegedly beats the crap out of his girlfriend. A state trooper from the governor’s personal security detail pays her a visit as she seeks a restraining order. The governor himself calls her up the day of, or the day before, a scheduled court hearing. The governor, knowing the whole incident is about to spill out, suddenly suspends the top aide and asks for an investigation by Andrew Cuomo. … New York is trying its darnedest to keep up with Illinois’ two-governors-in-a-row pace.
