Now that Gov Patterson has the power to Pardon/Commute the sentences
and convictions of the 10,000s of New Yorkers who have suffered convictions,
and prison for the very same crime(s) that Patterson himself committed but never
suffered or paid for - he would indeed and in fact be a hypocritical scumbag
dirtball if he did
not exercise that authority.
