By JACOB GERSHMAN and MICHAEL HOWARD SAUL ALBANY, N.Y.—The Empire State this week managed a rare trifecta of disgrace. First, Gov. David A. Paterson became embroiled in dueling scandals that ran the gamut of allegations from corruption to obstruction of justice to perjury. Next was Rep. Charles Rangel, the dean of New York's delegation, who relinquished the chairmanship of the prestigious House Ways and Means Committee after an ethics panel chastised the Harlem Democrat for accepting corporate-sponsored junkets to the Caribbean. And when news broke that Rep. Eric Massa, a freshman Democrat from Western New York, had abruptly decided to resign amid allegations of sexual harassment, a week of scandal assumed a sordid grandeur. "We've never seen anything like this," said Hank Sheinkopf, a veteran political consultant. "This is like a full-employment program for law enforcement."
