Just a few short weeks ago David Paterson not only appeared to be clearly out of the New York Governor’s race, he also seemingly had the “Sword of Damocles” hanging over his head by a mere half a thread. However, given the troubles of Eric Massa (D-NY 29), New Yorkers have found a politician they can hate more than Paterson.

What’s worse than trying to cover-up the sexual harassment and domestic abuse by a subordinate ? Well it helps to remember the old saying in politics by Edwin Washington Edwards, 4 time governor of Louisanna “The only way I can lose this election is if I’m caught in bed with either a dead girl or a live boy.” (On his 1983 Gubernatorial election against incumbent David C. Treen.) via http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Edwin_Edwards

Well Eric Massa appears to have done close enough for Government work …. and the villagers are in pursuit of a juicer story than Governor Paterson’s atrocious behavior.

Then came last week’s news that Massa, a 20-year Navy veteran elected to the House in 2008, was under investigation by the House Ethics Committee for allegedly groping three young male staffers. Massa sort of denied it, while claiming that the House Democratic leadership had set him up.
