Governor Paterson really puts the "pee" in politics.

According to the New York Post's Cindy Adams, at a fundraiser on Wednesday night the governor joked about the dismal situation in Albany with a little toilet humor:

The two of us share an ongoing slightly unclassy joke dealing with his first night ever sleeping in Albany's Executive Mansion bedroom where, in the middle of the night, the day-old Gov. couldn't find the john. So at this party I whispered for fun: "Have you peed yet tonight?" and he whispered back: "No, because I'm waiting to do it when the Legislature is under me."

If only Paterson, long known for his black humor (or in this case, yellow), could give New York a real golden shower, the state could be saved from bankruptcy.
