RGA Head Apologizes For Paterson Joke

Nick Ayers, the executive director of the Republican Governors Association, has apologized for joking about Gov. David Paterson’s (D-NY) blindness.

Ayers had been making jokes on Twitter about White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel asking Democratic governors to step down.

Rahm: “Gov Paterson you should accept the ambassadorship to New Zealand. Its beautiful there. Have you not seen it?…oh, right, sorry.”

Now, he tweets:

Paterson tweet too far. A poor attempt at poking fun of White House. Deleting now. Apologies.
