we here in the northeast have completed a HAT TRICK with our GOVS in the past couple of years. the CONN. Gov. who is now in jail for financial shannigans, the N.J. Gov. who "switched teams" with one of his staffers and now Mr. Clean of N.Y. gets knocked off his white horse with this mess.

probably this is not "new" behavior of our elected officials, just a more TENACIOUS media to get a story.

(my 2 cents)
