New York Adult Entertainment: GLYNN: Cuomo faces delicate task with probe

Now that Paterson has removed himself from a re-election bid, Cuomo must be somewhat relieved that he won’t have to run against the first black governor of the Empire State.
At the same time, he finds himself pushed into an unbelievably delicate situation. His office has been asked to investigate allegations the governor and state police may have urged a woman to drop domestic violence charges against a top assistant to the governor.
If Paterson is found to have interfered with the judicial system in any way, he could be forced to resign even before Cuomo leaves the candidate protection program.
Former Gov. Eliot Spitzer’s fall from grace is well documented, even to that infamous cell phone call (“Client 9”) he made from the parking lot at Shorty’s Restaurant & Sports Bar, Pine Avenue, to a high-priced prostitution ring in Washington, D.C.

New York Adult Entertainment: Centennial Year of the New York Peace Memorial at Point Park

The next day was the monument dedication event, and most of the participants traveled up to Point Park on the Incline Railway, which had opened in 1895. A few members of the official delegation also rode to the top of the mountain via that new form of transportation called the automobile.
As they approached Point Park, the spectators walked through the castle-like stone entrance that had been constructed in 1905 and was designed by local engineer E.E. Betts after the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers insignia.
When the dedication began, nearly 3,000 people were reportedly present. The highlights included music by the 11th Cavalry Band and the Chattanooga Quartet, and speeches by Gen. Sickles and others.
Gen. Sickles, who was chairman of the New York State Monuments Commission, had lived a checkered life, historical sources say. He had once escorted a known prostitute into the New York State Assembly Chambers and had shot and killed the son of national anthem writer Francis Scott Key for having an affair with Sickles wife.

New York Adult Entertainment: For Paterson, and New York, a lost chance

Posted Feb 27, 2010 @ 09:10 PM
Last update Feb 27, 2010 @ 09:18 PM
It’s hard to remember now, but Gov. David Paterson was a breath of fresh air when he succeeded his disgraced predecessor, Eliot Spitzer, not even two years ago.
Gone was the tough-talking “steamroller” who spent months fighting a pointless (and losing) battle over driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants; a man who distanced political foes and allies alike, and who was eventually forced out of office by his own hubris following a prostitution scandal.
In his place was a self-deprecating, soft-spoken legislator who came up through the ranks and demonstrated a commanding knowledge of state issues, on which he spoke at length extemporaneously (he had to, being legally blind).
But almost immediately, there were red flags. The acknowledgment of past affairs and drug use; the conscious but status-eroding informality (“Call me David”); the drumbeat of rumors about travel and lodging.

New York Adult Entertainment: Man and woman accused of prostituting girl, 17

Man and woman accused of prostituting girl, 17

Examiner Staff WriterFebruary 28, 2010
Prince William County police say two New York City residents lured a 17-year-old California girl into a prostitution ring run out of D.C.-area hotels.
The 17-year-old girl called police from a Woodbridge toy store early last week, asking authorities for help, police said. The girl ran away from her California home in December, and police say 21-year-old Julie McKenna helped her move to New York, where McKenna and 32-year-old Marc Brickhouse began prostituting her.
They eventually brought the girl to Prince William County, where she worked out of various hotels, authorities said. McKenna and Brickhouse were arrested on prostitution-related charges in a Laurel hotel Thursday.

New York Adult Entertainment: Spitzer, Paterson and a Cult of Faux Piety

Published: February 26, 2010
It was Friday morning, and his successor as governor, David A. Paterson, was a ruin.
“Sad,” Mr. Spitzer said of Mr. Paterson. “I don’t know enough of the facts to say anything meaningful.”
That should not stop anyone else from stating the obvious.
Every minute that Mr. Paterson stays in office, he proves that the laws of political relativity do not apply in Albany.
Two years ago this month, an article in The New York Times disclosed that Mr. Spitzer had been a customer of an escort service — that is, a client of an expensive prostitute — that was under surveillance by federal investigators. Less than 48 hours after the article appeared on the newspaper’s Web site, Mr. Spitzer said he was sorry and resigned.

New York Adult Entertainment: Gov. David Paterson ends election campaign but won’t resign

He stressed that he has no plans to resign, after spending weeks beating back rumors about his personal life and whether he would stay in office.
“There are 308 days left in my term. I will serve every one of them fighting for the people of the state of New York,” he said.
Leadership questioned
Paterson, 55, the state’s first African-American governor and first legally blind chief executive, succeeded Eliot Spitzer as governor in March 2008 after Spitzer resigned amid revelations that he had solicited prostitutes. Paterson was elected lieutenant governor in 2006. But while Paterson on Friday rid himself of the rigors of a potentially divisive campaign against Cuomo who is expected to announce his intentions in late March or early April he was still facing calls from political leaders that he either resign or hand over important duties to Lt. Gov. Richard Ravitch.

New York Adult Entertainment: New York Gov. David Paterson quits race

Hammered by a widening scandal involving a top aide, Gov. David Paterson on Friday bowed to political pressure and abandoned his campaign for a full term as New York’s governor.
“I am being realistic about politics,” Paterson said during a news conference at his New York City office. “It hasn’t been the latest distraction … it’s been an accumulation of obstacles that have obfuscated me from bringing my message to the public.
“There are times in politics when you (need to) step back. And that moment has come for me.”
Paterson offered a full defense of his performance since taking office in March 2008 after the abrupt resignation of Gov. Eliot Spitzer, who was implicated in a prostitution scandal. But the Democratic governor has faced a wave of pressure since a scandal involving one of his closest aides, David Johnson, accelerated on Thursday.

New York Adult Entertainment: Kristin Davis + Roger Stone = Nonsense

Kristin must have been seething on Rikers Island when she read that Ashley Dupre was making the rounds at New York Fashion Week, and then became the Dear Abby of Love for the New York Post. What was she to do to come back fighting for her Last Five Minutes of Fame?!? Well, considering the amount of time she spends on injectibles and other implantings, she plans to use the same care and feeding to fix up the New York State economy. She has hired the veteran Republican lobbyist, Roger Stone, from Richard Nixon’s Committee to Re-elect the President fame, to do all her maneuvering. Stone refers to himself as “a GOP hitman” and has been referred to as, “The most dangerous person in America today…”. Davis’ press release reads:
“Davis will announce her intention to petition her way onto the ballot and will outline her platform, which includes legalization, regulation and taxation of prostitution and marijuana to generate urgently needed new revenues for New York State and her support for gay marriage.”

New York Adult Entertainment: The right decision

The right decision
Paterson now faces choice of whether to resign
Updated: February 26, 2010, 11:59 PM /
David Paterson tried.
He addressed critical issues in the state. He assumed the mantle of governor of the state of New York when it fell on him, in Harry Truman’s words, like a ton of bricks, after Gov. Eliot Spitzer resigned in a prostitution scandal.
He set out to remove the accidental part of being the accidental governor when he announced, less than a week ago, that he would campaign to be elected governor in his own right.
But after not quite two years of leadership that inspired few followers, and after weeks of bubbling scandal that exploded Thursday with serious accusations of a real misuse of official power, Paterson succeeded in making, and making correctly, what must have been the most difficult decision a person in his position could face.
