My latest piece. It’s on the Paladino/Dicker incident.

Thanks for fixing the comments! Been out for me much of the day.

Love the Dicker-Paladino video.

[Michael Caputo and other associates of Roger Stone are making a lot of money off Paladino, although it’s not easy to tell exactly how much from his campaign filings.]

Good story. Roger Stone comments.

“Carl Paladino insists he didn’t accuse Andrew Cuomo of having an affair, but merely got sick of answer questions about his own dalliance and thought his opponent should do the same.”

Carl, Carl, Carl… Falsely accusing a person of a crime in this state is slander. Adultery is a crime.

Bye Carl. Game over.

good piece.

good piece.

I thought so too, Rog. Liz didn’t point that out. Do you really care if Cuomo had affairs? I don’t. Maybe if we ignore Carl on these issues he’ll go away. Cuomo hasn’t had to do much except strap in — strap in for an amusement park ride.

I don’t think Paladino can make a recovery.

Or perhaps Carl’s campaign sent a photographer over there to make it look like the Post did it. Do you know the frog and the scorpion story from The Crying Game? and elsewhere….

[The Scorpion and the Frog is a fable of unknown author, attributed to variant West African[1][2] and European folktales, and often misidentified with Aesop’s Fables, although only variants appear therein.[3][4] The story is about a scorpion asking a frog to carry him across a river. The frog is afraid of being stung, but the scorpion reassures him that if it stung, the frog would sink and the scorpion would drown as well. The frog then agrees; nevertheless, in mid-river, the scorpion stings him, dooming the two of them.
When asked why, the scorpion explains, “I’m a scorpion; it’s my nature.”]

[Retiting Sen. George Winner is “very disappointed by the tone of the campaigns, and the top of the ticket in particular.”]

It’s arrogant pricks like Winner who are the reason we’ve got the anger that has produced a “tea party” mentality on the part of the electorate. If smug little baby boomers like Winner had done a fraction of the job they were elected to do, or delivered on a fraction of the promises they made, maybe we wouldn’t be in this boat. So run back to Elmira, you little prick, but don’t pontificate on the qualifications of others to govern. You had your chance and you screwed it up royally.
