"The moral and ethical tone of any organization is set at the top," said commission chairman Michael Cherkasky. ...
NY Gov. David Paterson Anxious About Navigating Private Life
By Mara Gay - AOL NewsNew York Gov. David Paterson is leaving office next month, and he's especially worried about what lies ahead. In part, that's because Paterson is blind. And after years of being attended by staff, he says he's nervous about having to relearn the simplest tasks in his everyday life, from navigating the supermarket to hailing a cab. "If I go into a grocery store, the state police come in with me," he told The New York Times. "It's kind of like, 'Hey, Governor, just tell us what you need, and we'll get it for you.' And, I know I have to adjust." Tim Roske, AP New York Gov. David ...
New York Governor and 'Saturday Night Live' Finally See Eye to Eye
By Carla Baranauckas - Politics DailyGov. David Paterson of New York accomplished something on the season opener of "Saturday Night Live" that few others -- if any -- have ever managed: He got an apology. Actually, he got three. As the NBC late-night comedy show began its 36th season of satirizing virtually everyone and everything it wants to, Paterson showed up side by side with Fred Armisen (see video below), who has done a devastating caricature of the governor since 2008, when Paterson took office after Eliot Spitzer resigned in a sex scandal. Click play below to watch the video: Armisen's first one-eye-closed appearance ...
Opinion: Imam Rauf's a 'Moderate' ... Compared to What?
By J.D. Gordon - AOL News(Sept. 2) -- Imam Feisal Rauf, the man behind the Park51 project, formerly the Cordoba House (aka ground zero mosque), has been commonly referred to as a "moderate" -- though the question should be "compared to what?" His "moderate" reputation has garnered the respect of President Barack Obama and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who's backed the $100 million mega-mosque and community center on a site that was damaged on 9/11. It has also lent credibility to Rauf's stated quest of bridging "the great divide" between Islam and other faiths. But where does Rauf, author of three books on ...
Good Muslim, Bad Muslim? Gov. Paterson Inserts Foot -- Again
By David Gibson - Politics DailyNew York Gov. David Paterson has sought to be a peacemaker in the viral dispute over building an Islamic center near ground zero, suggesting the mosque be moved a few blocks farther away and even offering state land for a new site. But the hapless Paterson can never seem to escape his penchant for self-inflicted wounds -- a habit on display in this week's report that he may be investigated for perjury in connection with a probe over World Series tickets, and a habit that was reinforced with news of his unfortunate efforts to characterize different types of Muslims. Paterson's Muslim fumble ...
