As a result of the Republican takeover of the state Senate in New York, legislation has come to a stand still, and the New York Times quoted Governor Paterson exhorting people to get along and get work done:

The governor also made one of the more unusual pleas for sanity, imploring lawmakers to “think of the lobbyists,” explaining that they had worked hard “to persuade legislative leaders and legislators of issues.”

Great googly moogly, this guy could lose an election to Kathleen Kennedy Townsend.

Think of the lobbyists? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?

Seriously, if he is the Democratic nominee for governor in 2010, he is going to get done like a drunk alterboy.
