For N.Y. governor, the news isn’t getting better
Yesterday, Gov. David A. Paterson’s (D-NY) press secretary, announced her resignation. In doing so, Marissa Shorenstein, became the 5th senior-level state official to step down amid the scandal that has cast a cloud over the Paterson administration.
The scandal surrounds what actions Gov. Paterson may have taken to interfere with the legal process in a domestic violence incident involving one of his top aides.
The statement that Shorenstein issued about her resignation was one of those smile-like-you-mean-it statements that are typical in these situations:
"It has been a privilege to serve New York State for the past two years, and I thank the governor for giving me the opportunity to do so.”
I guess social grace precludes someone like Shorenstein from saying, "I was determined not to be the last one to jump overboard before the ship sank."
