Republican Gov. Assoc. Head Apologizes For Joke About NY Gov. Paterson’s Blindness

Nick Ayers, executive director of the Republican Governors Association, has apologized for a joke he Tweeted about New York Governor David Paterson’s blindness.  The joke had to do with White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel asking governors to step down.


Rahm: “Gov Paterson you should accept the ambassadorship to New Zealand. Its beautiful there. Have you not seen it?…oh, right, sorry.”

 

Now he says:

 

Paterson tweet too far. A poor attempt at poking fun of White House. Deleting now. Apologies.
