NY Governor Says He, Wife Knew Nothing Of Contract


ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) -- New York Gov. David Paterson says neither he nor his wife knew anything about a federal contract directed by the state Insurance Department to the company that employs First Lady Michelle Paterson before reading about it in Monday's New York Post.

The contract to Group Health Inc., once approved by federal officials, would provide up to $297 million in health coverage to uninsured New Yorkers with pre-existing medical conditions over three years. GHI is a subsidiary of Emblem Health. She is Emblem's director of integrative wellness.

State Insurance Department spokesman David Neustadt says GHI was chosen because it is the only non-profit providing such service with almost statewide coverage. He says it can get 10 percent for administration costs.

Because people with small minds are in charge of things like that.

No you are not that pathetic but too much TV and over sensationalizing of celebrity is making everyone complacent. We all need to wake up and start living in the real world. Canada and the UK included.

because america is completely and utterly focused on meaningless and pointless celebrity gossip.

Why would it be on the front page of any paper but an entertainment magazine anyway? I mean, I know why, but why is this front page news?

I don't understand the celebrity status there either. Magazine and Newspaper people, PLEASE help us! We don't want to hear about her every move.

You have to get permission from city officials. Or the person in charge will take them down.

Times moderate!!! And robert byrd is a member of the naacp
Reporter
Yes, it's a rag owned by Rupert Murdoch. The Times lied us into Iraq as much as Bush did, so there goes the "liberal media" propaganda that only a moron (or plural, as in 80% of the answers on this page) would believe.

You know, Charlie, what is a fact, really? Let's ask ourselves that. And do the American people really care about facts? I think not.

I'm almost positive they don't have a single "competent" conservative. It's that way by design

I haven't seen it, buy if it's in the NY Post then i'm sure it's clever political satire and not just some stupid pun directed towards someone then don't happen to like.
Democrats hate facts
Just proves that you lemmings can't see the forest through the trees! Hopefully, you are all sterile and infertile because this country can't handle any more of your brilliant ideas...like electing this buffoon who rewards laziness and penalizes hard workers.

INCREDIBLY, PEOPLE HAVE SANCTIONED THIS SATIRICAL TRASH! IT'S SICKENING! SADLY, THE UNITED STATES JUST SEEMS TO FALL BACK INTO THE 1950'S FROM TIME TO TIME. WHOEVER SANCTIONED THIS SHOULD SPEND THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS LOOKING FOR NEW EMPLOYMENT!
biglimes
Well for one thing, it isn't satire. It took two current events that were wholly unrelated to one another and tried to apply a metaphor to it, and failed. Looking back at the cartoonists' previous work, it doesn't surprise me. Bunch of gay jokes referring to sheep. Very satirical. It is a major stretch to apply any relevance between the stimulus and the chimp mauling; one would argue why he would try it in the first place. I mean, if the joke was that the Democrats are acting like a bunch of apes on pushing the bill, it would still be offensive because the chimp was shot to death, and not funny or satirical in any way. The cartoonist was intentionally vague when referring to the chimp (odd considering that his usual cartoons always label who he is making fun of by name, which is a testament to his lack of talent), but he did say something like "if anything it would be about Pelosi, but it's not" so what the hell does that mean? does this guy even know who he's making fun of? or is the idea of using a dead chimpanzee shot by police too juicy to pass up? Listen, conservatives, there are plenty of ways to joke the Obama Administration and the Democrats in Congress, but this garbage is insipid and uninspired and not funny, and anyone who can't understand why people interpret it as racist is deluding themselves, or have no knowledge of the history of racism in America. If you have to show your target being shot to death, you are no satirist.

Sharptons days are over he,ll do anything for attention
wes S
Sharpton isn't smart enough. He's all talk
perflexed
how come the cartoons of bush, as curious george didn't create an uproar, theres snow monkeys too
Tical
He doen's lead "riots" at all. You are grossly misinformed. He leads protests. This is a form of American freedom of speech. It resulted in the Post CEO Rupert Murdoch apoligizing.
Hillary's a has
Uh....did you think he was going to endorse Hillary?...he had to choose one of those two
BDOLE
It may be possible that Murdoch considers the Republican party to be without hope this election year, and would prefer to have a Democratic candidate he can stomach more, thus choosing the lesser of two evils in his mind.

Well, they just hate Hillary, really, but I happen to like Obama and I can't stand Hillary either.
univee
All major urban papers endorse both a republican and a democrat. In the sticks, not so much. In suburban America, you aren't even let in the social clubs unless you are rock-ribbed republican. they honestly think they are free... imagine.
MARK B
It's quite simple - THEY DON'T WANT HILLARY TO WIN - and possibly, in their 'cloaked' opinion(s)[being 'conservatives'], they probably think that she's far more electable than Obama is as 'Super Tuesday' will most likely show, when almost all of the states having primaries or caucuses are predominantly white, with Latino populations too, such as California.
Ozgard
Hilary hasn't endeared herself to the people and newspapers of NYC. There was a window of opportunity for Obama to sneak in and gain her own adopted turf right from under her feet and with that endorsement she has to begin to ask those silly questions Like WTF?

Ask Rupert -he did apologized after all, so he obviously disagrees with you...

Al Sharpton needed to rationalize something as offensive in order to get his ignorant mug on prime time.
David C
NO, it is amazing that the cartoonist had been doing cartoons like that for the past 16 yrs. which represented both Clinton and GW Bush and not one person said a word. Now because it is about Obama, everyone (the black community) are up in arms over this. it is TOTALLY BS!!!!!
George S
Yes. Black people can say whatever they want but white people can't. We must shut up and do what we are told. We must because since we're white we're automatically racist.
I got your hope and
The PC, hypersensitive, bleeding heart liberal, white guilt, "That's discrimination! Give me money!" Reverend white haters, Affirmative Action, "You can't say that!", greedy opportunist, power brokering, screw honky, "You owe them!" double standards are somewhat trying.
buffylou16
I don't know the one you mean. Do you have a link for it?
Sassydude
I think it is much stink about nothing. I can't believe that the Post caved in to Sharpton. The policy usually is once you print it you stand behind it.
ndothan
I saw the cartoon with the Police and the Chimp. I\'ve never laughed so hard. To compare the writers of the bill, CONGRESS, to monkies was priceless. I watched on CNN where the \"Reverend AL\" was calling the cartoon racist, and thought to myself, \"Who is the one being Racist here?\" It seems as if every time someone disagrees with, or makes a joke about anything Obama has done, they are labled a Racist. Listen up people. President Obama is HALF WHITE. He was raised by his WHITE FAMILY! He wasn't raised up in the \'Hood\'. He ain't no Brotha. He is the President of the United States of America. He is My President, He is Your President. Black or White, Rich or poor. There is one race in this country. We are all Americans. Remember that. And stop Whining.

I don't know, but you obviously must be a racist.

You probably won't find any possible outlets, considering the negative clout that the image has drawn itself into. Your best bet is to download it online somewhere and put it in a Centered Background image.

no its not really so much the news paper sometimes there are rumors they just never come true
mikecubbie69
The NY Post? Arent they the one that has the big headlines all the time, like they are the National Enquirer? Most baseball rumors are just rumors anyway.
DJ Denny K
The NY post isn't reliable on anything, let alone baseball news.
lopez o
baseball rumors from NY? You dont have to be sports writter to know what the new york teams are going to do. They'll go after the best players available (teixeira, cc, lowe) thats what they do, try to buy titles year in year out
Scooter_the_fat_cat
Hell No! NY Post is a joke of a paper & can't ever be taken seriously
arods.1fan
No the daily news is far more better,if you want reliable sports news get the New York daily news.
Norton
No, they're not even reliable for rumors about the NY teams, the paper prints allot of crap to get readers.
bob
I think you may have got caught in the cross fire from the McCain campaign!
Lexi The Shopaholic
It is extremely racist. I just came back from the polls & surveys section and this dummy over there found that cartoon funny. I want to know why it was even allowed to be printed! The editor should be fired.
SONI
I see the political point they were making but it came at the wrong time. people are going to view it as racism versus the comic saying a monkey can do a better job....when black ppl have been referred to as monkeys and we now have an african american president then you post something like that. it will be viewd wrong, point blank. But it's the NY Post.....look at how they viewd obama after he became president! it's sad tha someone let them print that but what can you do...its america..FREE SPEECH and such bs...
jdm7194
I only saw a picture but didn't see the caption. Do you know where I can see it online?
*The RingLeader*
I don't see how you could miss the racist undertones. Blacks have always been compared to monkeys. Obama is associated with the stimulus bill. Two cops are shooting the monkey. You make the connection. It's sick. Once again this country proves that it's still racist as ever.
Ca C
Here's my answer: RACIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't buy the post anyway. So , I will have no effect. However, those who buy the post can make an instant change. More specificially I hate the person who wrote that article and its sad that the good writers of the post will be punished for one dispicable cartoon.
Obamas Shoes
The editor should resign and people should boycott not only the paper but anyone who advertizes in it after today until he resigns. There is simply no excuse for the cartoon, racist or not. The woman who was attacked has had her eyes ripped out and has lost her nose and part of her jaw. How anyone can think something funny can be made of this situation and then not admit that there was a possibility of a racist joke is obviously not suited for the job. The cartoonist should be black listed until he makes a very public apology.
TheTruthBeTold
*****PETITION AGAINST THIS CARTOON AT****** http://speakoutnow.weebly.com
jasonzbtzl
Sorry to rain on the race bait parade, but Obama DID NOT WRITE THE BILL, Congress did, they are the monkeys, also when should Bush expect an apology for being compared to a monkey for the last 6-8 years??
earthwindandfire312
Yes it should be boycotted. Yes this is a very racist cartoon drawing that talks about how the old white man in the sixties used to treat black people who believed strongly for a difference. This is just ignorance and their way of getting the spotlight on them. Anytime we think that we have to get the spotlight on us for our own pleasures we are always defeating our purpose.
Chris
This is whats wrong with the USA. We are so hyper-sensitive to race it is ridiculous. Do you know how many times George Bush was actually and I say actually depicted as a monkey? Probably over 10 times. Did anyone cry foul? Did Sharpton March? Nope. Noone called Obama a monkey. Only those who look for trouble like Sharpton wanted that link to be there. If people understood this bill was written over 10 times by many people white and black, all who were idiots and coincidently a monkey went on a rampage in the news then maybe they would understand the satire. When someone, anyone does something stupid or takes someone an extremely long time to do something you say well even a monkey can do it etc. Yes there is negative conotation of calling blacks monkeys IN THE PAST. Noone called anyone a monkey. Obama is a great man, I voted McCain but he is still a great man. But Noone called him or implied that he is a monkey. ANd If they did he can sit there with Bush's Jr and Sr and Clinton all who were actually drawn as monkeys and smile and think the NY Post and all newspapers are idiots like I do.

It is racist only if the people accusing them of being racist think of themselves as chimps.

Why doesn't sharpton just petition the president to shut down NY Post by presidential decree? Is the president even offended?

Yep, that's it, cancel my subsription to the Post.

I think is funny because either way the goal is to leave Iraq. If it worked and the job is done then we are closer to leave and if it's not then we are closer to leave too. You see the goal is to leave. Or is it not?
death_by_platform_sh
It's news to me that the NY Post is considered news...seeing as how it's just another mouthpiece of Rupert Murdoch staffed by a bunch of hacks.
HaseoDG
@filthyruss agreed (still a hilarious cartoon though)
filthyruss
give me a break, it's a freakin' cartoon drawing. we as a country have become so put off by the smallest thing; RELAX...CALM DOWN. this goverment are a bunch of monkey's, or jackasses, take you're pick........................
SootStarsofHyrule
yes it was. i do not and never will use google chrome.
AZJamie1
As a second thought, all monkeys should be exterminated so black people don't get offended when they see one.
TalonMercenary
Its not just the US, political correctness has gone out of control in the UK too, we cant laugh at each other anymore or take jokes lightly its just ridiculous. The definition of racism went out the window ages ago
Skip2731
Conversation about race only gives the ignorant something to talk about. look at people has what they are....HUMANS!
crazyknight2008
oh for gods sake its a cartoon saying those who wrote the bill are a bunch of monkeys !! americans are so thin skinned sometimes...
quirkjerks
J.R. seems to be one of the more rational minds in there. The more attention this crap gets the more it lingers. You can't simply do away with racism in everyone, you can only starve the attention that it gets until it dies.
JohnCurtisFolkerts
It was in reference to the monkey that had to be shot after it mauled that woman. You guys should really consider discussing things logically once in a while. Seriously, Turks, you are just an echo chamber.
wallywhitecat
How can it truly be racist if you have to work so hard to find "race" in the first place?
bluecollarcanuck
Apes ARE smarter ( or wiser) in many ways than humans. This accurately depicts the way politics is, and always has been. Fucked up and full of double standards.
TheDullahan
Dubya was represented as King Kong in several comics, as a gorilla in a few and as a monkey in MANY, including in a very successful "Curious George" book that was published late in his presidency. He was depicted as shot, stabbed and hung in MANY comics, including in the one where he was a gorilla and nobody said it was racist. This is simply a chimp, not an Obama chimp...but it's Racist?
Varontreal
The reason why your saying so, is because your scared of them pussy. go back to school you fucking redneck. people like you make the white race look bad. Honky
