(Headline –NYTimes) Rash of Scandals Tests Democrats at Sensitive Time
The NY Times is reporting on a “rash of scandals” – but Chris Matthews last night was all over Rev . Al Sharpton for the Democratic Party problems in NY.
One Democrat Governor (Spitzer) has resigned (prostitute), leaving Paterson, the Lt. Gov. to rise to Governor – but Patterson is under huge pressure to resign (multiple issues – corruption, lying to the FBI, and interference in a criminal matter).
Of course, that is not the whole of it.
There is Democrat Charlie Rangel who has stepped down (temporarily?) over an ethics “admonition” while there is an investigation of not one but TWO unreported bank accounts of $500,000 EACH, use of FOUR rent-controlled apartments simultaneously, failing to report rent for properties in the Caribbean etc. etc.
Then there was the failed appointment of an inarticulate Kennedy to a Senate seat by Patterson, followed by an actual appointment of a replacement who is polling 21%…
It’s starting to unravel on the East Coast.

That is a surprise, considering OUR Democratic Party problems — which we would hear more of if we had a press corps in Sacramento that was not fully compromised.
Have you read anything about State Senator Pat Wiggins in the press, except for my post yesterday?
Didn’t think so.
The California press is not corrupt — they are lazy and fully accomplished in “go along and get along.”
