While You Were Out At The Game

A lot of noise coming that a big nasty scandal is dropping tomorrow for NY Gov. David Paterson, one so bad it will require his resignation.  The fact the story's coming from the Business Insider says everything you need to know.

This past week, a rumor emerged that the New York Times is working on a huge bombshell with plans to "Spitzerize" New York governor David Paterson.

Several media outlets have reported on these rumors.

Elizabeth Benjamin at The Daily News describes the report as "much worse" than the governor's previous admission of an affair with a state employee, though she declines to name NYT by name.

We've now heard from a single source familiar with the goings on at the Governor's office that the story will likely drop on Monday, and that the governor's resignation will follow.

If so, the Wall Street fatcats are 2 for 2 on getting rid of NY Governors who try to go after the banks. The next guy who's been swinging at that pinata has been current AG and favorite in 2010, Democrat Andrew Cuomo.

He'd better be ready.  This pinata swings back.  Hard.

[UPDATE 7:40 PM] And now the Business Insider says the Governor's office denies everything and the Times story will not run tomorrow.
