Governor Paterson on how the State Senate doesn't want to head to Albany for a special session to deal with issues like the budget and gay marriage: "I'm getting some push back about even being allowed to speak before my colleagues. Now if this was Bosnia or in the middle of Tehran, maybe I would understand why this is happening, but this is New York State and the United States of America." This is how the Daily News explains it, "Senate Democrats don't want to return to Albany if there is no budget deal. And if there is a deal, there is no reason for Paterson to address lawmakers, the aide said." Jeez, can they do their jobs already and figure out the budget?





When do we get to vote this guy out?
To be fair to Paterson-- Albany is like...Toledo. So he's not far off.
It's like Tehran except with a ineffective naked mole rat in charge.
Albany is like Tehran but without the great history, incredible architecture, incredible culture, bustling commerce, amazing food, strong government, beautiful rugs, mountain view, etc. etc. etc.
