New York Gov. David Paterson Says Something Funny by Accident
I am thirteen years old inside my brain, so this is obviously the best thing ever…
"We thank President Barack Obama and Secretary of Education Arne Duncan for coming up with The Race to the Cock."
With all due respect to the Gov. Paterson, I used to live in New York, and Obama and Duncan had nothing to do with that. They've been running that race in Chelsea for years.

Stephen Colbert's Best Moments on Empire State Politics
Most people forget about li'l ol' New York State, with its shrinking violet politicians and its Aw Shucksy down-home folkiness. But Rep. Charlie Rangel's recent improprieties have sort of dragged New York kicking and screaming back into the limelight. And, since it's already here, we might as well use this opportunity to examine it through a Colbert-approved politiscope. 'Cause who knows when we'll be hearing from it again…

Jon Stewart on David Paterson and Charlie Rangel
It's definitely been a tough week for New York Democrats with both Governor David Paterson and longtime Congressman Charles Rangel in deep ethical hot-water. Fortunately, the Empire State looks poised to turn things around with the impending announcement that Paterson and Rangel will be replaced by Bernie Madoff and the ghost of Boss Tweed, respectively.

David Paterson's Public Statement for the Ages
Just watched New York Gov. David Paterson's public statement officially announcing that he will not be running in November. It mostly seemed kind of pointless, but I thought the very end of it was rather moving…
"I hope that history will remember that I fought the good fight, that I…"
I forget that part.
"…and that I…"
I forget that part, too.
But, overall, I think his point was well-made.
