Ominous Words From Governor Patterson
David Patterson, who stumbled into the New York Governor's Mansion after Eliot Spitzer got caught disgracing himself with prostitutes, has his eyes on a bigger prize: the White House. He explains why he's qualified:
Once you go black, you don't go back.
Tell that to David Dinkins, the disastrous NYC mayor whose main qualifications were his skin color and harmless demeanor. Voters learned a lesson: the next mayor was Giuliani.
If Obama pushes forward with the policies of nationalizing whole industries and trying to spend our way out of recession with money we don't have, there will be such economic hardship that the next president will be different from him in every way possible.
On a tip from nanc.

Once you go blind, you'll lose your mind.

Yes, he does look a little like Mel Brooks.
He's my governor. His resume could fit on a recipe card. He had some obscure legislative background, where he introduced his one and only bill, something toooooo wacky for even NY. I forget what it was, I think it gave a whole bunch of goodies to black people. Anyway, that died a quick death.
Oh, sorry, I forgot. You can have a featherweight resume and radical ideas and still be president.

Patterson looks like some drooling retarded half blind brillo pad. How can this guy do his job? How can he read the legislation he signs into law for the idiots of NY State that would tolerate this unqualified dolt to represent them? Is he keeping his job because he's black or because he's blind? Give this man a guitar and let him play the blues. Blind Lemon Patterson!

"Once you go black, you don't go back." Racist?

Maybe he could be the lead singer for BLIND MELON?

Remember when that little mirco-brained incompetent DAVID DINKINS wore the fire helmet? kind of reminds you of the cowboy proverb A TEN GALLON HAT ON A ONE GALLON HEAD

The man's not blind. Obviously slightly cross-eyed, but...
Posted by: Murff at December 9, 2008 12:54 PM
Yeah, I wasn't going to say anything but he is cross-eyed.
Maybe this picture was taken right before a seizure?

No, no. It's "once you go MAC, you never go back"
(yeah, love my apple)

he's legally blind and unreasonably stupid.

Let's deal with some more important issues... Monday's Press Conference.
"Should the state members of the Electoral College cast their votes for Mr. Obama in the face of such overwhelming evidence, and without verification of Mr. Obama's eligibility, they would be committing treason to the Constitution," said Schulz.

Oh c'mon. He's joking. The man obviously hasn't got enough melanin to be President.

Actually he is legally blind from glaucoma - though he saw well enough to find a woman to cheat on his wife with. Happened just after Jim "McGreasy" came out of the closet. I guess unless you are cheating on your wife with a woman and not another man, its AOK!

"Once you go black, you don't go back."
Judged not by the content of his character...
Posted by: Henry at December 9, 2008 7:53 PM
His reputed original quote, "Red sky in the morning, sailor take warning," was taken grossly out of context.
