This brought a great big smile to my face Tim...what a great way to report this news!

My tag-line fits Patterson along with the rest of his ilk to a TEE!

Dear Governor,

Thank you for alienating those evil "rich" people in NYState and NYC.  Plenty of them are now beginning to look for property outside of NY and, in turn, boosting the real estate values here in CT!

when are libs going to learn, you have to pick your fights, more advertising for rush, crikeys they don't get it, Newsflash............. walgreens is pulling the obama chia,it is being pulled from the shelves and is no longer for sale in all 6000 stores across the country saying they have had complaints that the obama chia is racist,

Patterson better watch who says he doesn’t want taxes from. With only 40.000 of over 7 million who live in NYC that pay taxes, he is going to need every taxed citizen he can get, especially since they have vilified the ones who do pay taxes, the wealthy.

It was instructive to read the comments to the NYT story on this...80% were, of course, open in their hatred of Rush and their glee that another elected official would use his bully pulpit to attack a private citizen that dared criticize him. There were plenty of cheap cracks about his weight and drug problem etc. (although I suspect the same Rush-haters would welcome convicted child-molester Roman Polanski with open arms).

 There were about 20% who pointed out that "rich" people like Rush were the ones who ate in the fancy restaurants, tipped the doormen, etc....and driving them out of town is economic suicide (anyone seen the theater district lately, with its shuttered theaters and closed restaurants?).

 Here is what I posted:

The only things Paterson ever did that were fiscally responsible were (A) to have his extra-marital relations at the NYC Days' Inn (instead of the Mayflower);  and (B) to only put one of his mistresses on the State payroll (the other is on the NYC payroll, last time I looked). Jon Stewart, David Paterson and the majority of those who posted here can sneer at Rush all you want. You're the ones who will now pony up for Paterson's new tax hikes. So who has the last laugh? Like in California, New York and New Jersey will soon empty out, as those with any ambition and a college education will flee your rotting infrastructure and oppressive taxation, only to be replaced by people who have neither of those. Have fun, chumps.... and will the last Republican leaving NY please turn of f the lights?   

Heard today on the blogs re Paterson -I guess there's no braille version of Atlas Shrugged.

If any of these doofuses were cast  into the private sector to survive they would die in days.  Rush is a class example of what anyone with desire, ambition, and guts used to be able to do in America.  The people with Ivy education absolutely fear and resent anyone succesful from outside their "smart people" persona.

Don't blame me....I voted for Palin...

It's not just Rush who is leaving the City. It will be a steady stream of those who can afford to, and have the option of, living elsewhere. In short, it will be the bulk of your tax base that relocates.

Hey, I got the wrong "CHANGE"!

example for our country by being a public out-and-out LIAR, so has our current president set an outrageous example by attacking a PRIVATE CITIZEN!  Before Barack Obama's statement, Harry Reid did the same thing! 

And we wonder why so many of our young people have no moral values.  This reminds me of the old childhood chant...Monkey see, Monkey do - Look at me, I'm a monkey, too! 

How to go, Governor Paterson - you get an A+ for VERY unstatesman-like behavior!!  Let's see which large-earner/taxpayer you can entice to leave next ;-)

It is no dishonor to be in a minority in the cause of liberty and virtue. ~ Sam Adams

The man is GONE... by next election.  His best chance at a legacy is to bash what will be removing him from office, and one of those things is Rush Limbaugh's listeners.
