Paterson Makes a Lobbyist Joke

David Paterson just wrapped up his address and answered questions from reporters, saying, among other things, that he "generally" has the same political philosophy he had as a state senator.
He declined to say flat out that he’d abide by Eliot Spitzer’s $10,000 campaign contribution limit.
The second-to-last question to Paterson came from New York Sun reporter Jacob Gershman, who asked whether he’d ever patronized prostitutes.
No, Paterson said, only lobbyists.

Way to ask the tough questions, Gershman.
After all, aren't all lobbyists whores in their own right?
Sad question.
