Now that Paterson’s reputation is totally shot, aides felt free to dish about their boss to the Post. Most noticeable in their reports was the governor’s shocking and previously observed laziness. Though, sources say, he’s sometimes unreachable for three days and usually leaves work at 4 p.m., when he is in the office he runs a tight ship. He makes everyone (including disgraced aide David Johnson) call him Governor, and won’t be disturbed during his lunch hour. Other derogatory descriptions of Paterson: “very detached” with a very light schedule, a “baby” and “insanely mercurial.”
