New York Governor Calls Legislators “Bloodsuckers” And “Count Dracula” Foolocracy: Government by fools, silliness and unintelligent people

How could I not toss in a blog titled "Foolocracy"? I mean, really!

Here's the whole post: 

David Patterson, New York’s Governor, is standing by his words. The Governor, who spent 21 years in the state legislator, stated that grassroots activists were often ignored when they called on the capitol. For professional lobbyists, it was a different matter. Legislators paid attention them.

Patterson said the legislators “were acting kind of like Count Dracula and that kind of thing.”

State legislators were angered by the comment, but it was not just a single, off-hand remark by Patterson. “The sun would go down, and they’d go back to who they really are — a bunch of bloodsuckers,” Patterson said of the lawmakers.

Patterson said that only by changing campaign finance laws would the content of information become more important than the financial contributions of a group.

Some members of the state legislature were waiting for Patterson to apologize, but you have to wonder why. Anyone who knows politics knows Patterson hit a problem straight on the head. Unfortunately, no one does anything to fix the problem.

Yeah, emphasis Mine, along with "You can wait until Hell freezes over and you will never deserve it."
