Sex & Drug Rumors Rock N.Y. Gov. Paterson

Governor David Paterson’s spokespeople are denying any possible-career ending scandal that will push him out of office as a result of a bombshell story The New York Times is said to have on him. Unconfirmed rumors relating to sex, drugs, and women appear to be the most brought up topics surrounding the story.

 

However, Mr. Paterson seems intent on running for office, as reports say he plans to announce his campaign for governor next week. Serving as Eliot Spitzer’s Lieutenant Governor, Mr. Paterson came to New York’s Governor’s mansion after Mr. Spitzer resigned in disgrace amid a sex scandal involving a prostitute.

 

“I think its going to have to be something really bad for him to resign.  He admitted to past drug use. I don’t think anybody would be surprised or necessarily all that shocked if he and his wife had an understanding. It would have to be something beyond the pale for him to resign,” a long time Albany insider with GOP ties said to The Washington Times Water Cooler.

 

The Washington Times learned from our Albany source that at least fourteen of Mr. Paterson’s security detail were transferred to other areas of New York’s State Police this past weekend. This is unusual, because Mr. Paterson reportedly doubled his security last year. However, New York news outlets are reporting that the New York Governor also kicked the State Troopers out of the Governor's mansion recently, but a Democratic insider said, " "but not because he was caught in any compromising position with a woman."

 

“I’ve been around Albany a long time and this is as strange as it gets,” he said after pointing out that he recognized a number of the names on the detail roster who were part of this transfer as long time government employees, who served previous New York Governors as security detail.

 

“If I were connecting the dots, I would say that it might be related to some disclosures that may be out there. It may be part of this story.  The time line [of the transfer]….there’s a certain logic there. It could be coincidental, but its highly unlikely. It’s a very big change."
