Pataki's servant on GOP payroll
NY Post: PATAKI'S MAID AIDE

By FREDRIC U. DICKER and KENNETH LOVETT

January 31, 2005 -- ALBANY — The state Republican Party has secretly funded a personal servant for Gov. Pataki's wife, Libby, at the Pataki family mansion on the Hudson River, The Post has learned.

The servant — whose shocking existence on the party payroll was unknown even among the state's highest-ranking GOP officials — was described to The Post by two Republican insiders as Mrs. Pataki's "maid" and "personal valet."

The employee, Michelle Stubbs, 56, of Chester, — less than 20 miles from Pataki's sprawling Putnam County es tate — is being paid $36,650 a year, plus expenses, out of the "housekeeping account" of the state GOP, records show. The account is supposed to fund routine party operating expenses.

1. Repukes have to have their servants.
If they didn't have servants, they wouldn't know who they were better than.

2. Pataki used to be behind in his mortgage payments
it was front page news in NY several times.

Apparently, that's all in the past.

3. So Rupert Murdoch's paper, after trashing Kerik, now after Pataki
Another indication Rove et al want a fundie to run in '08.

Look for a breaking McCain scandel to follow.
