I Am Withdrawing My Name For Consideration for U.S. Senate from NY

In attempt to further confuse Governor Paterson, I have notified/not notified him that I am withdrawing my name from consideration for the U.S. Senate seat that John Cornyn (B(oob)-Texas) tried to keep Hillary from vacating. When I saw the rock star reception for Hillary at State today, I looked deep in my heart and counted the many personal reasons I might have for not serving in the Senate. Which are none of your business. Except that they might be about me not paying taxes on my nanny or other assorted employee taxes that confuse me, as well as the guy who is going to run the IRS. Honestly, I thought there were exceptions. Or, that I was exceptional. It's possible the flu that is going around is keeping me from serving. The flu that is felling many of my closest personal friends for personal reasons. It could be, you know, something else entirely that will keep you guessing for years! You know, something else! You know, something personal. I am going to retreat this weekend to my vast family compound in the suburbs and and check to be sure I still have that magical surname that causes people to burst into the soundtrack from The Alamo. That's Texas for Camelot. And to Governor Paterson, I'm sorry for the all the confusion and the bother, as I know for sure you were , or were not, going to appoint me for sure. Or not.

I was devastated by the announcement in the title to your announcement but, then I read your reference to the soundtrack of "The Alamo." I'm sure that you did not mean anything negative by that, but your attempt to employ the title of that body of sacred music is not only inappropriate but sacrilegious. You can forget Governor Goodhair appointing you to fill Senator Hutchison's Senate seat when she resigns (and up to now, you would have sooooo been a shoo-in).
