He gets a new big buck rug and we get subways with no seats, service cuts and tolls on the bridges.

Needlessly renaming bridges, pricey rugs. What is next expensive hookers?

Mind you this is on top of hiring some retired smuck for a $140,000 job while there's a hiring freeze that he imposed. As the saying goes, do as I say not as I do. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/2008/09/22/2008-09-22_what_hiring_freeze_big_state_payday_for_.html

#8 If you give it a re-read, you'll see that taxpayer money was spent to buy this rug from a donor to the Spitzer/Paterson campaign

#1, read before you comment. Donor money is not the same as taxpayer money.

I hope they let him return it. Cuz this will give him an acute case of buyer's remorse.

Not surprising that other legislators don't want to compromise and cut anything either when the leader doesn't seem to feel the need to cut anything himself. Thought maybe Paterson was going to be different, but it seems he's becoming just another crooked politician like the mayor and all the mayors and governors before them.

this is something you put on the floor and walk on, right? that's really easy to get dirty in a matter of minutes, especially after it snows/rains? right?

Return it.
