Another one bites the dust: New York Governor David Paterson’s press secretary, Marissa Shorenstein, quit Wednesday due to her “unwitting involvement in recent news stories.” Paterson is embroiled in a scandal in which he is accused of having asked Shorenstein and another staff member to contact a woman who accused one of his top aides of assault. In a statement, Shorenstein said, "Throughout my career, I have performed my duties professionally and with integrity, basing my actions on what I believed to be true at the time. I therefore tender my resignation as press secretary to the governor."
