New York Gov. David Paterson is getting rave reviews as one of the Gridiron Dinner speakers over the weekend.

The Gridiron dinner is an off-the-record dinner with journos and pols who sing songs, do skits and make fun of each other in the great wide open.

Paterson's speech was certainly no exception. Even though he became governor of New York in quite a surprising fashion, it’s not the governor title that he wants, apparently.  Paterson's real goal, he said, is to follow in Barack Obama's footsteps and be president of the United States, because: "Once you go black, you don't go back."

He also joked about how he's receiving all these phone calls from people seeking to take HRC's Senate seat and played real voicemails from HRC, Chuck Schumer (who were in on the gag) and even himself.

Though, he did dig Schmuck Schumer good, but you'll have to go to the link to see it . . .
