DAVID PATERSON'S FRIENDS ARE LEAVING!Did you hear that theNew York Timesfinally got around to writing something vaguely damning about David Paterson? One of his aides beat up a nice lady, on Halloween, and David Paterson later called her and asked her not to make a hot mess of it, because of politics. Damning! Salacious! (Alex Pareene is actually following this, though, and says "David Paterson is Over," which would be fine for just about everyone.) [ Gawker ]
