First he comes out the week he takes office about all his extra marital affairs.

Then he is stupid enough to get himself involved in contacting a woman not to press charges or get a restraining order again his aide.

Now he is involved in a Yankee ticket scandal. Perjured himself.

He took over from Spitzer and had a pefect opportunity to be the first AA to be Gov. of NY and he stoops down to these sleeze ball levels. Ed Koch told him every day of the rest of his term would be torture. He should just go away.

Paterson's stature erodes even in stomping grounds

Updated: 6 minutes ago

NEW YORK — David Paterson, New York's first black governor and a product of the Harlem political machine, faced rapidly waning support Thursday as many of the influential black leaders who have worked with him for decades gathered to discuss crafting a message to persuade him to resign.

The Rev. Al Sharpton convened a meeting of black New York City politicians at a soul food restaurant in Harlem to consider asking Paterson to leave office, according to a senior state Democrat briefed on the meeting. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the topic.

Black leaders believe NY gov should stay in office

NEW YORK — Influential black leaders in New York City said Thursday night that they believe Gov. David Paterson should stay in office amid allegations he and his staff interfered in a domestic violence case involving a top governor's aide.

Meeting in a Harlem soul food restaurant that is the center of power for black politics in New York, the group led by the Rev. Al Sharpton agreed that Paterson should try to withstand the violence scandal and new ethics charges related to World Series tickets.

The group said they want to meet with the governor to discuss his ability to continue to govern.

Sharpton, flanked by former Mayor David Dinkins and Hazel Dukes, former president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said, ""Many of us have the view the governor should continue to serve."

Did Sharpton ask him to leave with a yoohoo and a fish sandwich?

NY gov faces legal minefield in conduct inquiries
Posted: 1:16 p.m. today
Updated: 19 minutes ago

NEW YORK — Legal experts say the next few days and weeks could be the most dangerous yet for the embattled administration of Gov. David Paterson.

There has been a whirlwind of speculation this month that either Paterson, his staff or state police officials could face charges of witness tampering or obstructing justice over their handling of a domestic violence case involving one of the governor's top aides.

But ultimately, the greater legal hazard to Paterson and members of his team may be the temptation to be less than truthful with investigators from the state attorney general's office now inquiring about the matter.

"That is the number one concern," said former Albany County prosecutor Paul DerOhannesian.

"The attorney general is interviewing people under oath," he said. If subjects of the inquiry lie about anything, even minor details, they could face a perjury charge, he said.

The veteran Bronx defense attorney, Murray Richman, said if he were advising the governor in the case, he would tell him to invoke the Fifth Amendment and not answer any questions.

"They are going to get someone in a lie, and it's going to come back and bite someone," he predicted Friday.
