Gov. Paterson steps in….

He’s now offering to help the Cordoba Initiative relocate if they so choose.

New York Gov. David Paterson is offering state help if the developers of a proposed mosque near ground zero agree to move the project farther from the site of the Sept. 11 attacks.

Paterson said Tuesday that he understands the resentment many feel against the plan for an Islamic cultural center a few blocks from ground zero.

The Democrat says that although the project is protected by the U.S. Constitution’s guarantee of religious freedom, New York is still suffering from the attacks. He says some state property elsewhere might be suitable.

How nice of Paterson (the lame duck governor) to offer something that is not needed or warranted.

I can’t wait for Paterson to be gone from office.
