He hasn't been NY Governor for 15 fucking years. I haven't heard a peep from him since. Now all of a sudden he's issuing press releases using his old title?

The GOP must love seeing the Democrats doing the work of destroying the Democrats for them.

Not only does the destroyer have a funding plan for his policies,

If anyone ever tells me I need to support the democrat candidate blue no matter who they get a slap in the face.

Did he delete this I can't find it?

Edit: never mind I found it. I swear Twitter used to be so much easier to use and whatever this fucking thing is now is a soup of bullshit in the wrong order.

From March 2010

"Already caught up in a scandal involving a close aide, embattled New York Governor David Paterson was charged on Wednesday by the state's ethics watchdog for unlawfully taking free baseball tickets to the 2009 World Series.

The charge came days after Paterson ditched his short-lived campaign for a new term in office following revelations that he and state police had spoken with a woman who accused a top governor's aide, David Johnson, of assault last year.

After speaking with Paterson, the woman failed to appear in court and her case was dismissed, according to The New York Times, which first reported the story."
