New NY States Gov’s First Agenda Item : Affairs!

Yesterday, New York State swore in it’s 55th governor, David Paterson. He is the first African-American governor in the Empire State and the first legally blind governor in the country. He has a strong reputation as a progressive and is stepping in after Eliot Spitzer resigned following being caught by the Feds paying for sex. All this just in time to pass a New York State budget.
So what’s the first big agenda item Paterson is going to tackle? Education? The economy? Nope, his own affair.
Me and (Ashley Alexandra) Dupre

No, I don’t know Ashley Alexandra Dupre aka “Kristen”, Client #9 aka as NY governor Eliot Spitzer’s favorite gal but I kind of feel bad for her.
I should probably make it clear that I’m not against prostitution or sex work, I am against much of the exploitation that happens in that realm. For example, regardless of how much Ms. Dupre was paid for her services, she isn’t likely being given the same protections that Eliot Spitzer is. I doubt there are backroom legal deals being negotiated on her behalf. Sure Penthouse magazine wants her on their cover, but somehow I don’t think that’s much comfort for her.

Spitzer said that effective Monday, March 17th, David Paterson will become governor, becoming the state’s first black and first blind governor.

…And that according to many, is reason enough for him to resign. Seems that the man who allegedly was all about ant-corruption was well corrupted at the low low price of $1,000-an-hour . Spitzer was caught, via FBI wiretap, arranging to meet with a prostitute in Washington last month. In the tapes he is identified as client #9 aka George Fox client of the Emperor’s Club. Now that’s taking leading the Empire State a little too far.

New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer lost his will to push forward with a proposed plan to to issue driver’s licenses to undocumented immigrants.
“I have concluded that New York state cannot successfully address this problem on its own,” Spitzer said at a news conference after meeting with members of the state’s congressional delegation.
The plan was unpopular with many because they felt that it would be a means for wannabe terrorists to get ids.
