Meet David Paterson, who is quite possibly about to become the first African American governor of New York State after Eliot Spitzer who may or may not be resigned by the time you read this. Eliot Spitzer as you may or may not know has been embroiled in a prostitution scandal. You see what had happened was Eliot was on the cellie trying to lock down some 7 diamond poonana when he got caught up in a wire tap investigating this establishment of ill repute.  It's a shame when your elected officials can't set up their usual illegal activities without the feds getting involved.
