TOP TEN THINGS THAT I KNOW NOW AT 34 THAT I DIDN'T KNOW AT 33 - #9

IF A BLIND BLACK MAN WITH A HISTORY OF RECREATIONAL COCAINE USE AND EXTRA MARITAL AFFAIRS CAN BECOME GOVERNOR THEN ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE...




THIS WAS A CRAZY YEAR FOR CURRENT NEW YORK STATE GOVERNOR DAVID PATTERSON. IN THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR HE WAS JUST YOUR NORMAL DEMOCRATIC HACK REPRESENTATIVE PLAYING THE POLITICAL GAME. NO ONE CARED THAT HE WAS BLIND. IT DIDN'T MATTER HE WOULD NEVER BE IN THE POSITION TO AFFECT ANY REAL POLICY RIGHT? OOPS

AFTER ELIOT SPITZER GOT CAUGHT IN THAT HOOKER STING PATETRSON WAS THE GUY THAT JUST HAPPENED TO BE IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE EXACT WRONG MOTHERFUCKING TIME. ECONOMY IN A RECESSION? CHECK, WALL STREET IN NEAR COLLAPSE? CHECK BUDGET DEFICIT? CHECK.

THE STATE IS IN TROUBLE. IF PEOPLE COULD HAVE FORSEEN THIS CHANCES ARE THEY WOULD HAVE EITHER SWEPT THAT HOOKER SCANDAL UNDER THE RUG OR IF NEED BE SWEOT THAT CHICK UNDER A ROCK. STAY COOL DAVID.
