Hey, What’s Wrong With New York Governors?

There’s something about certain Jersey Shore residents and controversy surrounding New York governors.

There was the posh Ashley Alexandra Dupre, the high-paid call girl and former Shore area resident accused of assignations with then-Gov. Eliot Spitzer, who resigned over the scandal.

Now, there is Charles J. O’Byrne, a former Jesuit priest who grew up in Oceanport and was active in politics in Monmouth County as a young man.

O’Byrne, New York Gov. David Paterson’s embattled top aide, resigned on Friday after a week of escalating criticism over his failure to pay $300,000 in taxes on time and a questionable excuse for the problem.
