. . .Well, embattled Governor David Paterson, who has nothing better to do, like fix the economic mess in his state, comes to the defense of the cast members of ‘Jersey Shore.’

Paterson — who says he hasn’t seen “Jersey Shore” — joked Monday that maybe the cast is better behaved when they’re in New York.

Since the new season of ‘Jersey Shore’ is in Miami, I am awaiting Governor Charlie Crist’s opinion on the issue. Heck, maybe even Obama is going to be asked. We know Senator John McCain is tweeting with Snooki.
