Is it something in the water in Albany?
March 19, 2008 — ALBANY - An attractive Olympic gold-medalist says she had a close personal relationship with Gov. Paterson earlier this year - during which time she recorded a series of secret telephone conversations with him.
Track-and-field athlete Diane Dixon, of Brooklyn, also told The Post that she had received a private message yesterday morning from Paterson, asking if she was speaking with the media.
No. Not again. Not another gubernatorial fuckfest. Spitzer was qualified, if annoying. Paterson is capable and funny. I do not want Republican hack Joe Bruno as our governor. No no no.
And what the hell is a “close personal relationship”? A drink once in a while? Does she have a blue dress? Article says she threatened to destroy the tapes and that this whole thing was “just a joke”. Some joke.
A friend of mine lives in Dixon’s building. Says the news trucks are thick on the ground.
Fuck.
I don't see what the problem is. So Patterson goes for the hot chicks. Doesn't her recording conversations tell us more about her than him?
Actually, Bruno might be the problem. Who's he doing? Where's Larry Flynt when we need him?

"Actually, Bruno might be the problem. Who's he doing?" That's an easy one: He's fucking over the citizens of New York as usual.

Hey blogenfreude! You'd mention it, wouldn't you, if Joe Bruno recently bought you dinner?

Yes Tata, I think it's a disclosure I'd have to make. And no, Bruno hasn't bought me a thing, but he's brought me tsooris.

Do people really tape record every time they go to bed with someone? Do people really record every time they have a drink with someone?
Can't people keep their mouths shut?
Remember when we were surprised to find "friend" Linda Tripp taped Monica Lewinsky?
I am going to ask everyone to open their purse and pat them down for a wire from here on out

Remember when tri-state area governors did legitimately bad things like steal state funds for house repairs?
