Dim Bulb: Gov. David Paterson

Published December 20, 2010 5:00am ET



WHO: New York Democratic Gov. David Paterson

WHAT: The state’s Public Integrity Commission finally got around to fining him $62,000 for illegally soliciting and accepting five free World Series tickets from the Yankees, who frequently have business before state government.

WHY IT’S DIM: Turns out, it’s a lot cheaper to buy tickets.

CURE: Paterson will have plenty of time for baseball once he’s out of office.
