ALBANY - Gov. Paterson blasted his hand-picked choice for U.S. Senate for throwing him "under the bus" during his recent scandals.

Paterson, during a Wednesday morning appearance on Don Imus' radio show, took issue with Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, who earlier this month said the governor should resign if it was proven that he intervened in a domestic violence case against his top aide.

"That's about whenever you get in a jam, there are people who will throw you under the bus," Paterson said.

"Whenever you watch a movie or whenever you read a book about someone that's in terrible...in a difficult situation, there are always those who do that," Paterson continued.

"They just don't expect you to get out from under the bus. And when you do, they should be forewarned."
