Parker Apologizes
Sen. Kevin Parker, D-Brooklyn, put out this statement shortly before midnight apologizing for calling Gov. David Paterson a “coke-snorting, staff-banging governor.”
Here’s the statement:
“Unlike others who have been less than forthcoming, when Governor Paterson assumed office, he made personal revelations about activities in his past.
Many times people have thrown these admissions back in the Governor’s face to gain political advantage. Today I became one of them.
Governor Paterson’s statements a year ago were voluntary in order to promote transparency and full disclosure.
My conduct today was reprehensible and regrettable. I apologize to the Governor and the First Lady and I am profoundly sorry for any pain and suffering that I may have caused the Governor’s family.”

Obviously advised by his attorney that the DA, who is presently deciding whether he is to be charged with a misdemeanor or a felony for his latest physical attack on am employee of the press, might look askance on his publicly and angrily calling the governor a coke-snorter and a “staff-banger.” Imagined conversation: “Put out an apology immediately and make it sound heartfelt!” ‘But, it’s midnight.’ “I don’t think you’re listening to me – PUT OUT AN APOLOGY IMMEDIATELY AND MAKE IT SOUND HEARTFELT!”
No apology needed simply RESIGN
You have shown everyone what a DOUBLE STANDARD LOOKS LIKE
