Fight!!!

Props to Carl Paladino for finally calling out Fred Dicker and the scumbag NY Post newspaper operation. Fred Dicker for years has either liked or disliked you and pushed his agenda. The NY Post for years has had no shame going after family members of politicians and having no respect for anyone. Fred Dicker and his lame radio show is a joke and while I would never vote for Carl paladino, I support him calling Fred Dicker out, it’s about time someone had the guts to do so.

I would be pissed too. What does his illigitimate daughter have to do with governing?

Fred Dicker is an A**H**E. The post should be making a public appology.

wow. I don’t think anyone should be taking pictures of children of public people and link it with a negative story that will traumatize the child forever.

However — I don’t think Dicker is working for Cuomo.

It’s a sensitive topic involving children and if this isn’t enough for one person in a position to do something about developing a policy, code of conduct, or position on what is public and what is private New York it will only be because it wasn’t on radar screen. Children, that is.

Now is the time before more children of public people are put in a position of being harassed by prying eyes.

Any father can relate to Carl’s anger at his child being followed by a sleazy reporter. I think the way he handled this will recieve support from anyone out there with any common sense. Attack his policy, but leave his kid alone.

Kudos to Ms. Ross. She came through big time. Keep your phone charged up, sista!

Dicker was right in challenging Paldino to put his money where his mouth is. If Paladino has evidence, then show it to the press. Otherwise, Carl is once again ridiculously asking Cuomo to prove a negative. I don’t think that Paladino has any evidence AT ALL. Carl’s claim of an affair by Cuomo has the perv Roger Stone written all over it. This is the only kind of political campaigning that Stone and his cabana boy, Caputo, know. In my opinion, Stone has found a mentally unstable person with money (Paladino) who he can manipulate — more for Stone’s personal entertainment than managing a battle of political idealogies. Stone and Paladino are both “sick puppies,” IMHO.

I relish further clashes between Dicker and Paladino. Carl has met his match in Fred — who’s more than a little off his rocker, too.

Furthermore, if Paladino expects the press to start quizzing Cuomo about every innuendo Carl puts forth, the press should ask Carl some similar questions. I suggest asking Carl if he had sex with ex-lover (for old times sake) while on their vacation to Italy; ask Carl to PROVE that he didn’t have sex with Ms. Brady.

The press should ask Carl if cheated on his wife with anyone else besides the woman who had his love child? Prove that he didn’t.

Ask Carl this, too. If he says that he’s against abortion because he’s a good Catholic, did he go to confession and discuss his extramarital affair(s). Surely a priest would tell him to stop lying to his wife, yet Carl apparently ignored that advice for ten years. What in the world kind of a serious Catholic does that?

And so on and so on and so on.

1. Paladino made an issue of his child. I don’t support taking pictures of 10 year olds, but this isn’t the massive sin Paladino wants it to be. It’s icky and a bit nasty.

2. Paladino’s eruption is understandable. I’d be pissed in the same situation. I’d like to think I’d be less of a hypocrite, but I’d defend my child.

3. Paladino doesn’t get to throw around an accusation and say the proof will come “at the appropriate time”. Proof comes with the allegation.

4. As they say, “politics ain’t beanbag”. Carl needs to toughen up and, at the same time, calm down. He looks stupid.

Really? Journalists don’t release accusations made by “sources” without any proof all the time? What makes it OK for them to do it? Fred Dicker has done that plenty of times during his career. If Andrew Cuomo says it’s false then he should sue Carl Paladino for slander, get Kerry to testify he never cheated or that she knew about and he’ll probably win and case closed. DB let’s not pretend though this is the first time an accusation has been made with no proof at the outset.

What a sicko! So this is Fred Dicko! He cannot argue like a man…cuz he ain’t one.

The establishment that Dicker represents must be running scared…they cannot believe a ton of people bricks is about to fall on their collectivist heads.

I see that the Paladino sock puppet brigade has arrived to defend their whacko candidate. LOL.

An influential anonymous source stated that Fred “could have totally kicked their asses if he wanted to.” The source also went on to mention how handsome Mr. Dicker looked in his powder blue sport coat.

I can’t speak for anyone else, but I am a long time Democrat. I just dislike how reporters cover races and that especially goes to Fred Dicker, the scum of scum. Fred Dicker has long played favorites and treats his work accordingly. I would never vote for Paladino in a million years but he has his right to say what he wants and if Cuomo knows it’s false he should file suit claiming slander. Dicker doesn’t have a right to jump into someone’s face demanding evidence. How many times has Dicker published an accusation with no evidence and just a random source who turns out to be wrong? It’s a double standard that needs to end and especially end when it comes to media covering kids, especially younger ones.

dicker did the same thing to former state dem chair and powerful assembly ways and means chair Denny Farrell. Farrell responded similarly. This is journalism at its worst.

KICK IS ASS CARL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CUOMO IS A SLIME BALL AND THESE SO-CALL JOURNALISTS ARE NOTHIG BUT PRESSTITUES

you are an idiot and you deserve to bend over and take everything the socialst in Obama’s admistration shoves into you while CUOMO applies the vaseline.

DO YOU KNOW CUOMO WAS ONE OF THE PRIMARY FORCES BEHIND THE HOUSING MELTDOWN AT HUD?????????? THAT KILLED THE ENTIRE ECONOMY?

READ UP ON IT!!!!!!!!!!

Where was the outrage when the press chased Spitzer’s children down the street?

Buster it sounds like Andrew promised you a job

Learn to spell before you call anyone an idiot. Try to stick to the topic of the thread, too. We’re not discussing Obama. You’re a homophobe, too. Probably racist to boot. Paladino really attracts the cream of the crop! LOL.

Finally a real man running for Governor.Andrew has GOT to be crapping in his pants.
Please debate him Andrew lets see if you can do the job yourself for 10 minutes…

In his interview with Maggie Haberman, Paladino promised that the campaign would get nastier. Be careful what you ask for, Carl. You may get it! LOL.

Maybe I should ask him for a raise!

Kudos to Miss Ross for finding this little gem.

Great scoop for Kaitlyn.

Paladino just made an enemy of the wrong guy.

Its not the illegitimate daughter pics that irk Paladino. Its the way his wife’s interview ended up disclosing that Carl, the baby mama and the illegitimate daughter went on a vacation to Italy last year with the wife’s blessing.

That is not respectable conservative behavior.

I didn’t think it was possible but this Paladino guy just made Fred Dicker look good!

This state is going down the crapper, and New Yorkers keep voting the same people into office. Pure insanity.

Funny stuff. The Post isn’t a real newspaper and Paladino isn’t a real candidate — I mean really, an illegitimate child on the side and a bunch of thugs for aides? Dicker and Paladino deserve each other. Unfortunately, we deserve better.

Obviously Carl and Fred are special people so this not meant to be a defense of Paladino (or that much of a criticism of Fred for that matter) because it really is one of the LCA in general, but…

I often wonder what Albany would be like if Fred Dicker had lived in Hartford, Trenton, or Harrisburg rather than Albany. Would we have a better functioning government?

As the dean of the LCA he sets the tone for the rest of the press corps. Ninety-five percent of what he and Nick, Liz, Jimmy, Celeste and their colleagues cover is the the sleaze and the horseraces in Albany rather than the actual issues that matter.

They talk about the winners and loosers because that sells newspapers, but it doesn’t press the agenda forward. It doesn’t do the public good that I think most journalists hope to do by becoming journalists — particularly those with political beats. It just adds to the mess.

If the press was willing to write about the issues more, candidates would talk about them. Has any reporter actually done anything more than a short review of Andrew’s 250 page book? How many more stories have been written about Carl’s emails than Andrew’s policies?

When Andrew was sitting in the rose garden, why weren’t reporters diving into his policy book and writing about it? 250 pages — that’s 500 quotes they could have gotten from third parties on both sides of an issue. That’s 500 times they could have written: “Cuomo declined to comment.”

I think that both reporters and press people should look at what happened today between Fred and Carl as ask, “how did we get here?” It is more than just one crazy person angry at another equally crazy person. I think that the media that has a vested interest in chaos just like nearly everyone else in Albany and that it effects their coverage.

Can any reader here imagine a day where Liz or one of her competitors decided to write only substantive stories? I’m talking the 20 blog posts on just substance — no love children, no DWI’s, no missing tax returns; I mean real stuff that actually matters?

I can’t, but I’ll keep reading.

I could not believe those goons on that video. And here they come, Buster, telling you to commit homosexual acts! Because you’re a socialist and its Barack Obama’s fault.
I guess they told you, didn’t they?

I notice a common thread is who is or is not “a man”. Andrew needs to be a man, Fred Dicker needs to be a man. Carl Paladino, with his manly testicles, can impregnate two women and tell the first one, the older one, his wife, about the second one, the day she found out her son was killed in an automobile accident. THAT is the way a real man does it, cause your wife humiliation and pain on the worse day of her life.
And it takes their entire entourage to fight with Fred Dicker? He’s small and rather old.
Never mind that because he writes a column, I don’t think it would be his decision to send a photographer anywhere. An editor does that. A real man, of course.

Anybody remember when Dicker got decked by Norm Adler during the Cuomo years? Fred is probably slavering at the mouth at the thought of being Andrew’s press secretary should he win.

Sure…vote Cuomo and continue the Cuomo mob dynasty in NY….don’t you morons ever see through these manipulators? Whether its politics or media, their claws are so deep in your mind you vote for them in lock-step…
His daddy fixed elections, and now sonny is…Remember Mario’s quote: “There is no such thing as the Mafia.”

Carl Paladino is not qualified to be dog catcher of a small town upstate. He’s such a small, lowbrown goon. It’s laughable that anyone would vote for this piece of shit. “I’m gonna take you out buddy”.

What a lowlife. Close the book on this loser.

Finally the world gets to see what a biased and unstable person that Dicker really is. Gee, Fred, when did you jump in Andy’s face and grill him about the real person behind the mask? Can’t do that, Fred? We know. Because you’re in league with Cuomo and everyone knows it. Everyone. Do you think some real journalists should explore how many “leaks” have come from Cuomo to your ears? Do you think we don’t know that Cuomo’s smear camp was busy on the phone with you late Tuesday leaking the confidential Hevesi plea negotiations? Ask yourself, Vandenburgh, how would you handle this if it was anyone but Dicker. You’d go nuts. But you’ll protect your boy, laugh about Fred being a big shot, and overlook the fact he’s out of control and utterly and completely biased.

Fred Dicker is not working for anyone but himself (regardless of what the NY Post may think), but he does have a history of weird man-crushes on politicians like Spitzer and now Cuomo. Then he seems to turn on them as fast and as vehemently as he previously supported them. He’s a very emotional guy, and his emotions and attachments clearly influence his writing. I’m sure a psychologist can come up with an explanation. Until then, Fred is entertaining but not to be taken seriously as a journalist.

Wow it wasn’t a fluke, you really are semi illiterate, and it would seem just plain dumb too. Add that to homophobic and moronic. Not a socialist? You should be so lucky! I doubt you could even define the term! I guess you skipped on school since public schools are in principle “socialist” by the standards you hold. However I’m sure you don’t complain about all the handouts you undoubtedly draw – seeing as your IQ and education are both somewhat questionable.

You’re an imbecile.

Paladino’s is a borish, impish, anti-semitic, sexist, racist nitwit with money principally pilfered from the public fisc. If you had an ounce of grey matter, you’d understand that the real estate bubble was the result of 70+ years of loosened financing intended to give half-wits like yourself a shot at homeownership coupled with progessively weaker regulation championed by idiots like Paladino….and likely yourself.

Paladino’s marriage is a sham; one child is illegitimate another is drug addled (ahhh….now dead) and that frumpy pudge, rather than respect his family, prances around with some skanky skirt. He couldn’t manage his own household……why do you think he can do better with yours?

Maybe you’re right, but at least Cuomo has a veneer of intelligence, discipline and propriety. In contrast looks and sounds like a moronic thug. Talk about the Mob! Look at the criminals and dubious characters he surrounds himself with! How can you delude yourself that a Paladino administration wouldn’t set new lows for sleaze and corruption?!

Fred Dicker and the Daily News is in the tank for Cuomo, who is kidding who.
If you watch the film closely Dicker repeatedly has his finger in Paladinos chest, when the reporter becomes the news jouranalism is out the window.
Go Carl, I am mad as hell too!

The Post should be firing him and *then* issuing a public apology. That is completely unprofessional behavior for a journalist.

No, Paladino made the charge….now he needs to pony up. The burden doesn’t shift just because Paladino is an ass. He needs to grow some brass and prove it up.

Now, it cuts both ways, if Cuomo says something he needs to back it up. As it stands, Paladino is just a schoolyard punk until he proves the charge.

And, for God’s sake, Paladino needs to stop crapping all over his family…….running off to Italy with his skanky skirt while his wife stays home and irons his shorts. Really? What a punk!

Do you have children, Corelli? If you do, I would hope you would fight for their privacy with the same furor as Paladino. Unless you see nothing wrong with bald headed creeps sending their photographers to follow around 10 year olds.

You should ask Spitzer.

The Paldino brain trust that’s currently visiting the DP can’t seem to get their facts straight. Why am I not surprised. Facts and evidence are optional in Carl’s world.

The NY Post hasn’t printed a single photo of Paladino’s young daughter. It’s not even clear that they have even SEEN Paladino’s daughter. The Post merely spoke to and took a photo of Paladino’s ex-lover outside her home. There’s nothing inappropriate about talking to an adult — who at one time was the was involved with an adulterous political candidate. The Post has nothing to apologize for.

Carl loves to dish it out, but he can’t take it. What a crybaby!

If Carl can’t stand the heat, he should get the hell out of the kitchen.

Cuomo is a career politician/hack who will retain the current corrupt insider system that is endemic to albany. While paladino might not be the ideal candidate, the NY State government is so disgustingly awful and corrupt – owned and under the control of public employee unions – that an outside is needed, along with new blood in the assembly and state senate.

It sickens me to see the Cuomo pit bulls and sycophants like Dicker doing the front work running interference for cuomo. No more career politicians, let get term limits in place and start to remove the cancers…

Where’s Blago when we need him?

Make that: There’s nothing inappropriate about talking to an adult — who once was involved with an adulterous political candidate.

Paladino is a fucking asshole.

NY Post is a FOX News Corp. paper like the Wall St. Journal. I don’t see why they’d necessarily support Cuomo over the tea party guy even if they are downstate. Seems like Carl just has a lot of skeletons rattling around in his closet and is not used to the press digging around like the rest of the tea party folks running this year.

Paladino is a scum bag and his team are a bunch of crooks. He’s trying to hide. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/29/nyregion/29advisers.html?_r=1&ref=us

PLEASE. Not even close to the issue. If it was, Paladino wouldn’t have brought up Cuomo’s personal life today. The issue is this guy is campaigning to be GOVERNOR. You Republicans thought Spitzer’s personality was divisive, and he is a puppy compared to this dog Paladino. At least Spitzer had the decency to cheat with a hooker. This guys ups it to a second family and a love child.

Paladino is a gross racist pervert, PERIOD.

Hi — there is no proof this has even happened. Paladino made it up in case you weren’t following this along.

Yeah, reporters looking for evidence…boy, that’d be terrible.

I know his thuggish attitude, campaign full of ACTUAL CRIMINALS, cheating on his wife, racism, sexism, boorishness, and wild behavior do.

As far as governing — have we actually gotten one policy proposal out of this guy that is backed up with analysis yet? I didn’t think so.

Yup, everyone is always in the tank for the person you don’t support. Its always a conspiracy when the simple explanation is Paladino is a racist sexist piece of garbage and creates his own problems with idiotic behavior.

Good point, Spd2000xl. If these creeps had full, luxuriant heads of hair that were styled at expensive salons, and which they shampooed and conditioned each day, then it might be okay. But “bald-headed” creeps? No way!

Dicker supporting a Democrat is the biggest joke of them all. Give it rest, peabrains.

Aw, he just has a hot temper.

And, by the way, good luck to him. He’ll need it, I think.

I was in the mortgage business. It was not a meltdown at HUD that killed the economy. Please learn a little before you spew your garbage.

Paladino’s part of the Newt Group. Slimy little things that crawl around and attract money from idiots.

I don’t know about Palladino but I do know about Cuomo…

Carl,

Don’t tease us.

Do you know how many people – Democrat and Republican, Conservative and Liberal, Right and Left – stick pins in little Frederic “Some Democrat Whose Name I Can Never Remember Kicked the Snot Out Of” U. Dicker dolls every day in Albany and throughout New York state?

Fred Dicker’s the only thing both sides in Albany agree on: Everybody hates the guy’s guts – sans, of course, Papa Joe Bruno. Outside of perhaps Alan Chartock (his brother by another mother), no one is more despised in Albany than Freddy Dicker.

Post Reporter Is Shoved By Top Aide to Speaker
By JEFFREY SCHMALZ, Special to the New York Times
ALBANY, Oct. 15— A reporter was repeatedly shoved, then knocked to the floor today by a top aide to Assembly Speaker Mel Miller as the reporter tried to question the aide about possible improprieties involving the Assembly payroll.
The reporter, Fredric U. Dicker, the 43-year-old Albany bureau chief of The New York Post, said that, once on the floor, he was kicked two or three times by the aide, Norman Adler. Mr. Dicker, who has been bureau chief five years, did not appear to be seriously hurt but visited a doctor today, complaining of back pain.

Fred Dicker works for The New York Post.

Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post.

You know Murdoch: one of the leading financial backers and THE leading media backer of Conservatives nationwide.

Are you claiming that Murdoch and The Post are against a Conservative like Paladino?

Riddle me this one. I can’t wait.

If Paladino was an official for, say….SEIU, or the AFL/CIO, or Organizing for America….this wouldn’t be an issue for you progressives, would it? Where was your sense of moral outrage when the SEIU goons beat up the black conservative outside the St Louis Tea Party for selling American flags?

You are morally bankrupt, your criticisms will never have any validity until you face up to the truth of your ideology’s basic fascist nature. Communism has and will murder millions. Progressivism = Communism.

Cuomo just has to sit back and watch Paladino ruin his own chances of getting elected.
Every time Paladino talks he makes such a fool of himself that he loses moore and more credibility.
Cuomo doesn’t need to attack Paladino;he needs to look respectable and honest.
Paladino is self-destructing himself with comments like he made to Dicker.
If Paladino is this short-tempered with reports how can he ever expect to get anything done in Albany.

Put your feet on the ground and say that politics is not skewed. When someone trys to get answers they have to go into the gutter for it. Dicker cares.

‘i don’t send birddog to do my dirty work’ – good one

“This state is going down the crapper, and New Yorkers keep voting the same people into office. Pure insanity.”

This nation is going down the crapper, and Americans keep voting the same people into office. Pure insanity.

Or stupidity. Are Americans so intellectually lazy because of their blind obedience to ideology, or is their obedience to ideology the reason that they are so intellectually lazy?

Boy, the things a retiree misses when he puts his head back “for a few minutes.”

Fred, save your irritating, bombastic style for your own show (can’t wait to hear today’s), and for press conferences. It was somebody else’s party and you were out of line.

Carl’s going to “take him out?” We’ll probably hear that he means that he’ll “take him out” to dinner.

Old news, already — once Dicker milks it for all it’s worth this morning. (Just heard he’s on deck with P.V. on Talk 1300, broadcasting from the Sagamore.)

NY Post: Kids ARE off-limits, ya dopes. If Dicker is at all responsible for chasing them down, he should be fired.

Seems to me that F.D.R. was once Governor of this State. Guess this is a foretaste of “Junkyard dogs dialogs .”

From The Juice!: Paladino Keeps Talking About Horses And His 10 Year Old Keeps Getting Harassed By The Post

Legioneers. Neither does The Juice! like facts, exclusives, nor theories. He prefers ripping off legitimate news sources and using their work for his fodder. But this post has got all three: factiness, exclusivity-ness, and maybe a theory. The Juice! already hates it more than you do.

Thankfully, a major New York newspaper started dragging itself through the news blog gutter and came up with some worthwhile, solid gold shit. For this reason, and only this reason, is The Juice! willing to lift himself out of the muck of the news blogs, forego an upcoming post by T.F., and release this exclusive. He may even successfully embed a video, though he highly doubts it. …

PV: “Freddy would’ve been on by now, but he’s been inundated …” including the national news outlets.

Clip is currently running on the Today Show, and Dicker must be in heaven. There’s no way that beret will fit on his swelling bald head today.

Seems like a future President of the United States and billionaire to me, this Paladino. He has all the qualities uninformed voters like.

In reading the comments I am struck by the consistent unwillingness of anyone to address the reason the likes of Paladino is running for governor and why there has been so much interest in his candidacy.
The disfunctionality of government in Albany and how to end it.
Thats what we should focus on and be interested in …not this pettiness

Giuliani also had a short temper …did he get things done?..the answer is passion…and the question is whose got it

(…and why there has been so much interest in his candidacy.)

Must be those new-fangled voting machines.

paladino is a loose cannon. he has shown he has no integrity, and no respect for his wife. why is he even running. he’s just another upstate thug.

Thanks Fred ( the stalking horse)Dicker, you have given me the right man to vote for. Republican Carl Paladino
Fred it’s people like you that try to cover up the truth about Andrew Cuomo,

Yes….because real men threaten to kill journalists. On tape.

If we did that, good luck getting out of jail anytime soon.

All of this talk about CHILDREN’S privacy as we begin another school year during which (and beyond) children’s names, addresses, phone numbers, PICTURES, Email address, height, weight, hobbies, interests (and more) can be shared with pretty much anyone unless a parent opts-out of FERPA Directory Information?

When is New York going to do something about protecting the privacy of students from age FOUR through graduate school? They have been aware of the problem for 4 years this month.

Do you think it would take long for a pervert to find your child when they have your child’s name, address, their picture, E-Mail address, their phone number and where they might be after school (hobbies, sports, after school activities)

PARENTS — opt-out of directory information. The schools will say something like, “Don’t you want your child’s picture in the year book, or newspaper?”

You should be able to determine where and with whom your children’s personal contact information is shared.

As is — this information is shared with pretty much anyone who wants it — there are NO restrictions of use, reuse, and misuse of this information. Your children are profiled and their ‘personas’ ultimately end up in the hands of data brokers who sell these data.

This is what we should be talking about. It affects most students in NY and nationwide. Paterson said he would something. He did nothing. Cuomo’s office told me write a paper about the problem (thanks).

To Sen. Oppenheimer’s credit there was a bill in the Senate (they did use my research) that didn’t get out of education committee because no one inside NYS government knows enough about the problem to answer the questions correctly and they don’t want to see me or talk to me. I’m an outsider. Sure, you’ll figure out who 11201 is… however I care more about children than I care about my anonymity.

You see what universal suffrage leads to? Once you allow uneducated losers to determine the fate of a country it invariably deteriorates into mob rule. In an age of technology and mass communication it is easy for the unscrupulous to manipulate the mob for their own purpose.

It’s time to restore a property requirement and a literacy test to protect the country against the foolishness of the least of us. Perhaps being offered an opportunity to vote will motivate students to pay closer attention in school, and convince those who are tempted by superstitious cults to join the 21st century and learn to appreciate the value of scientific investigation.

This was a very interesting experiment, but it turns out that Jefferson was right: there can be no successful democracy without an educated electorate.

Caputo should be embarrassed by this video. It shows him completely over his head and looking juvenile. Roger… please tell your boy to get a new suit.. Poorly fitted and he does not know how to put a tie on properly. I’m shocked that you would let him out of the house like that.

Some should be seen and not heard.

Paladino making grave threats to that reporter. We’ll see where this takes the NY Post to respond.

Fred Dicker is a jerk. Wow.

Why did over 60% of my fellow Republicans vote for this clown instead of Rick Lazio?

NYD1980 This is not Andrew Cuomo’s problem. Carl Paladino made the remark.
You need to go back to trying to defend Tom DiNapoli – who is being investigated by Cuomo. Which, of course is why you’re bashing Cuomo.

The next time that anybody puts thier hands on Fred ,I Will break thier face !

What this mafia slug did here is illegal, is it not? Maybe it’s a New York thing, but these are criminal elements and not people.

Whenever you wonder how a former community organizer with no real work experience managed to get elected as Prez solely on his oratorical rap, you only have to read the idiotic blatherings of those Liberal-left morons who voted for him to understand the stupidity and delusion which rules their lives.

Its not about Paladino, its about the LIBERAL and UNETHICAL media. Since when does running for office authorize and permit STALKING of 10 year old children. Amazing what the educated elite embrace as acceptable.

Yeah Tom, you will break their face for touching Fred. I would agree . . . unless the person breaks his jaw. Not really fair if they damage something else on Fred’s face. After all, he did not use his eyes or his ears to warrant that type of respone. And, why should any of us be responsible or accountable for violence done by use of words . . .

So, it’s OK to stalk a ten-year-old in retalliation to a hypothetical accusation THREE DAYS BEFORE the accusation takes place? What kind of voyeuristic creep are you?!

Dumbest comment of the day. If NYC evaporated and upstate lost that tax $, you’d be Kentucky. Get your head out of your ass.

Beside being OT, can I say–you define delusion. Of course the concept is beyond you. So a lawyer, college professor, state legislator and U.S. senator is no work experience?

AnnoyingTruely – The irony in your post is delicious. The “educated elite” are supposed to be horrified by some media attention toward a 10 year old who was dragged into focus by her limelighted father. Meantime, the “C-student regular guy” moralist is ok to support Paladino, a racist, sexist, homophobic, philandering a-hole who publicly parades his love-child for political damage-control. The righties will justify anything that keeps them comfortable and fat; if they can’t defend it in earthly terms, they can just say it’s God’s will. And that -for them- makes it morally ok. Posers all.

I’m no fan of Carl Paladino, but as to the issue of the New York Post’s photograper stalking the GOP candidate’s daughter at the direction of Fred Dicker, the Post’s state editor, I’ve got to bak Palidino. Candidate’s children, legitimate or illegitimate, are out of bounds. Yes, Palidino isn’t fit to be governor. He has too much dirty laundry in his bag. Leave the kids out of this Dicker. I’ve known D0icker for years when I was a press man for Arthur Levitt and then Gov. Carey. Fred is a rough and tumble reporter and will stoop to just about anything to get a story. Ba ck off Fred. You carry a lot of baggage too.

I feel the same way when it comes to my children. Hands off or you will go down.

You talk like some kind of inbred low grade moron. Do you even know what the definition of a “socialist” is? I’m guessing you simply parrot the talking points that Fox and the hate radio mongers spew out as they tell you what to think.

Prior to being elected, he had done almost nothing. Certainly nothing requiring, or teaching, executive ability.

He served in some capacity as a “community organizer,” which Sarah Palin might say is like running a Sunday-school picnic, but without the kids.

He worked as a civil-rights attorney, whatever that means. And he taught at a law school, which may be why he always sounds as if he’s lecturing to twenty-somethings.

He served in the Illinois legislature for a few yeas, but spent most of his time voting “present.” Then he served in the U.S. Senate, but for only two years.

Would the directors of any mid-sized company have asked him to be its CEO? He wouldn’t even have qualified for — in Ross Perot’s memorable phrase — middle management.

He is a man without significant executive experience in life.

Don’t bother to thank me. I consider it a Public Service to help the delusional Left regain a portion of sanity.

If I had any doubts about voting for Paladino before they are completely gone now. If more candidates would stand up to these scumbag partisan hacks we’d have a better situation in NY and this country. The media for the most part has been an untouchable wing of the Socialist/Democratic party for too long.

At least Kentucky has fiscal solvency.

At least Kentucky has fiscal solvency.

So the republicans wanted Cuomo to win? Otherwise why not run a candidate that is viable?

“. . .tried to diffuse the situation. . .” I suppose you mean spread it around. Or you don’t know what you mean. Okay, here’s a clue: DE-fuse.

I have kids, and the most logical thing to do if it was my daughter is to call the cops or file a complaint, restraining orders, etc. To take the law into your own hands or to threaten someone in front of cameras is just not a smart thing to do. I like a little fight in politics, but that was to far. “Take you out” if anyone watched the Sopranos, they know exactly what that means. I don’t think we can have a vindictive angry politician in office. Just imagine his rath if he was trying to balance the budget.

CaRL IS THE BEST!!! LOVE IT!! FRED IS A DICKER

I can’t believe that the posters on this sight think that The New York Post is an elitist liberal newspaper. LOL

And the KKK, Yippee!!!!

Progressivism = Progress

At the end of Fred’s Thursday show he told Mike Long he really likes him. Long said he knows — and made a joke about sending a valentine.

Long says he is behind Paladino however I don’t believe that. I like Fred, I like Mike Long, and I want to like either (or even both) Paladino or Cuomo but neither of the candidates are worth my vote.

There was a reason Fred made that comment at the end of the show. Perhaps Fred did provoke Paladino knowing Paladino would cross the line — in fact — go so far over the line that Long can say, “I told you so.” Yeah, doesn’t make sense being Long did say he supports Paladino and the Conservative line needs 50,000 votes.

Can the Conservative party withdraw their support of Paladino due to his inappropriate behavior? Dicker will have then done Long a favor and exposed how low Paladino will go. I’m probably wrong on all of this — but the comment and then the altercation makes me wonder.

Oh, cry me a river. If Paladino were a Democrat, you’d be yammering about the “immorality” of Democrats. You arrogant hypocrite.

Oh, cry me a river. If Paladino were a Democrat, you’d be yammering about the “immorality” of Democrats. You arrogant hypocrite.

In other words, if someone accuses you of murder, the accuser doesn’t need an ounce of proof, since it’s up to you to prove your accuser wrong.

You’re stupid.

Look, dolt, the media is owned by corporations, and corporations ain’t exactly liberal.

Try harder.

Comments like these are why I laugh and laugh whenever conservatives try to claim the moral high ground.

Oh, please, The Voice isn’t exactly a reliable source.

Um, the “establishment” Dicker works for is owned by Rupert Murdoch. Are you saying Murdoch is “running scared”?

Seriously?

Geezus, you teavangelicals are such pathetic pieces of shit.

A single threat, and you’re Team Paladino all the way?

Wow. Doesn’t take much to convince the stupid, and Paladino just proved it.

Great. Another illiterate with a keyboard who thinks a quitter governor has “work experience,” and who voted – twice – for a president who cut taxes at a time of wars of aggression and called it good economic policy, and who vacationed at a time when he was warned that a terrorist attack on the country was imminent.

Got it, ace? See what a fucking douchebag you are? Good. Now get over it.

Outrage over the perceived moral bankruptcy of the left? From the crowd drenched with the blood of tens of thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians and thousands of US military? That dances in the streets when people lose their 401Ks and pensions? That fawns all over itself for saving a few pennies in tax dollars while millions go hungry?

You twat. You deserve every bad thing that happens to you. Too bad YOU weren’t the kid who threw himself off the GWB. How much better off the world would be without you.

Wow, they threatened that reporter physically. “I’ll take you out” is exactly what Paladino said to that guy and, as usual, all the bullies jump in to tell the reporter, “Fred you’re out of line.” Yet he threatened no one. What is Paladino, mafioso? “I’ll take you out.” What is that?

You’re kidding? ROTFL!

I don’t know if “levity” is quite the word I’d have used. His campaign manager was clearly agitated as well and it looks like he was more part of the conflict than trying to diffuse it.

1st: I think the reporter was out of line and created this situation.
2nd: IF any reporter, photographer, and/or individual was to ATTEMPT to chase, photograph, harass my children, I would not be as nice as Carl was.
JudyPepNY

What I love the most here on this rant is how everyone who thinks Carl Paladino lost his temper and is out of line, not fit for the position and a slew of other terms, is very quick to RUDELY rip others apart. Interesting…people in glass houses throwing stones… JudyPepNY

Paldino is Nuzi – Welcome to the Teabagers movement New York. KKKrazy on top of KKKrazy are the Republicans and their less than honorable candidates. How desperate is the Coporate Citizen party that they think they can “shove these people” down our throats (to borrow a Frank Luntz/Roger Ailes hate and fear campaign phrase)?

If you decide to have a public life, you can’t complain when your life becomes public. All these billionaires pretending to be champions of the middle class and “family values” are hypocrites. Every time you turn around they are having a homosexual affair, abusing drugs or making illegitimate babies.

NY Post is a Republican/Murdoch propaganda rag – if the Republicans don’t like Palidino – he MUST be bad!! BTW, Republicans preach morality then they had better be moral (of course, they fail this 110% of the time – yes another reference to Faux fake numbers).

[At the end of Fred's Thursday]

CORRECTION:

I meant to say at the end of Wednesday’s show. What a week… I lost track of the day.

You Bushie Republicans have to grow up. You would vote for Witches and Witch Doctors and it shows you lack common sense. What’s it like to be brainwashed? Daymn.

Would you like to fix your sentence of nonsense?

So Paladino takes after Gingrich in the moral failure department – but guess what, the Republicans don’t care about being hypocrites – they want to control “your” morality, your body, your liberty and freedom; They quite frankly – suck. They are the most ignorant of the ignorant, playing on people’s hate and fear – When did the KKK take over the GOP? I believe it was under Reagan and Jerry Falwell. The RNC is the New KKK/Teabagger party and Grand Wizard Rush Limbaugh is their hate and fear leader. Beck is their Czar of distortion and lies and Fox, well, they represent the voice of the evil empire that is the GOP. Sad. If I was a moderate Republican – I wouldn’t let these clowns take me down like this! We’re losing America in the process.

Yeah, Republicans don’t have half a brain. Rupert Murdoch loses $50 million dollars on that rag to spew his propaganda to an over educated audience that wipes it’s butt with it (and catches the latest on the local sports team). Murdoch of course doesn’t pay “taxes” on it, it’s a propaganda right off.

The thing with Fox and NY Post locally – is they all have to live here – and they know NY isn’t as stupid as the sheep between the coasts – I believe they call the educated “elitists”. So they taylor their coverage accordingly.

Judy — if you have children and want to protect them OPT-OUT of FERPA Directory Information because you have NO idea who has pictures of your children as well as your phone number, your children’s Email addresses, the address of your house, your child’s height, weight, and possibly where to find them after school hours.

Sorry, regulars, for sounding like VJ.

BTW — Paterson did nothing about this problem, Cuomo’s office did nothing, Gillibrand did nothing, Schumer did nothing.

A lot of others did nothing/aren’t doing anything while personal contact information about your children is hemorrhaging out of our schools.

In fact, as of today — no one has done anything about the problem.

NY could still be out front nationally regarding this problem.

The republicans like to play moralists – they just aren’t moral people. They do not evoke the name of God and Patriotism by accident – they are appealing to the blind faith sheep that won’t look behind their thin veil of deceit. Sheep like to be herded it seems and truth just gets in the way of the lie they’ve embraced all of their lives. The Inconvenient Truth syndrome.

Again, you do realize the NY Post is Rupert Murdoch’s propaganda rag in New York right? Are you really that dense not to know? Palidino is a scumbag. Has nothing to do with the child – but the con man running for office (who made his money of of uncontested Pataki government contracts – you betcha!

Stewing in his own revealing self-made brew of volatility and public embarrassment over discrediting details of his personal life-style, Carl Paladino, the Republican/teabagger choice for governor of New York, lets his campaign manager foolishly try to shift blame to an inquiring newsreporter for Paladino’s own intemperate mob-land threat.

Some things just can’t fly (no matter how they are spun), especially when the video embedded in the article below shows it all.

This may go down in history as a classic low-life example of how now to pursue executive office.

http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/09/30/paladino-unleashes-attack-on-reporter-following-confrontation/?hp

Wag the dog idiots.

You’re probably right. The surprise to most of us is – it’s Murdoch’s NY Post. Rupert must hate Paladino as well. The Republican Propaganda paper in NYC is the NYPost Republican’ts.

Again – a clueless Teabagger.

I don’t know. The Republican Candidate get free airtime and publicity on the Hannity and Fox Propaganda network. Paladino trying to hide his lies – don’t run for office.

Giuliani bused homeless to San Diego and housed them on the city’s dime in hotels.

Cuomo was the last great Governor of New York. And you are? Teabagging?

Cuomo was the last great Governor of New York. And you are? Teabagging?

All you need to know about Paladino eliminates any need to know about anyone else. You do not want this clown.

Yeah the Pataki/Bush years have been very good to Corporate Citizens, we need more leadership like those Dolts!

You can’t debate crazy – and Palidino is crazy. Carl will kill any hope he had – New Yorkers aren’t the sheep of the Fox ilk and will not be fooled.

NY Post. Do you have ADD? If you’re not getting the facts right – why would you vote for stupid?

Hate and fear politics of the Reich Wing – distort and mislead. That is the Republican Party.

And as close to third world poverty than any state above the Mason Dixon line. I know, I escaped 26 years ago. Thank God for education. Great education centers in NKU, UK and UofL – but the Mountains (coal miners, blind faith brood) – and still “backwoods” thanks to the Republicans keeping them “down”.

I love Chicago, great town, second only to NYC – Paladino WILL NOT WIN in NY. If he does, you can bet the End of Days and rapture is coming in 2012.

An alternate headline for this revealing outburst might be:

A SIMPLE MAN RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR IN NEW YORK SIMPLY “LOSES IT” . . . (LIVE ON VIDEO!) ─ YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS!

The thought is inescapable that what is captured on tape is a “candidate” just being himself (even though he sounds like a mob hitman threatening to “take out” a news reporter),

AND THIS IS WHAT THE TEABAGGERS AND REPUBLICANS OFFER UP AS THEIR BEST SHOT FOR HIGH EXECUTIVE OFFICE?!

It’s degrading and shameful and symptomatic of the recklesness that Republicans and teabaggers alike are offering us this election year.

Based on what? Your deep love for the Republican Party Con-men? I know about 10 million votes that won’t go GOP in NY – the 5 boroughs of NYC. Hate all you want – but no way does any educated and or intellectually sound American want to vote for for Krazy. The teabagers are just that. The Republican prove once again – they can go lower!

Don’t you think you should be more concerned with the validity of said leaks? Truth sucks if you’re a Republican.

No one working for Murdoch is taken seriously as a journalist.

Embrace the lies of the Teabagger though.

Wow. Dumb.

You mean getting facts and truth is a detriment?

Birther, Becker and Oraly Taiter. Palinistas live in Glennbeckistan. What’s it like to live so blindly and moronically?

Please expound upon the idiocy that the USSC anointed Bush in 2000 and what “successful” qualifications made him your King of Tyranny for the following 8 years. Educated America seems to have missed out on that genius period in American history when “laws” were broken, lies were sold to the American people, illegal wars were waged brokering costs in the Trillions, loss of 6,000 of our sons and daughters, 1 million Iraqi civilians in collateral damage, no WMDs, no Bin Laden, torture, wire-tapping American citizens, expanse of government (again) under Republican rule, the worst economy in 80 years, tax breaks for the wealthiest whom “did not reinvest in America” but shipped jobs to India, China, Africa, etc., where child labor and cheap labor are the rule, propaganda to mislead a willing blind-faith element of our society, the integration of religion into politics (TV Evangelicals), disregard for the Constitution, law and treaties; deregulating safety measure put in place to protect the American people and coming soon – another tenant of the Fourth Reich Republican Party – Profiling. You’re complaining about an “elected” American President we gave the unenviable task to begin cleaning up Bush and the GOPs mess? The RNC that spent like frat boys on daddy’s credit card and totaled the hotel room on the way out? You’re a pin head, just like the leadership or lack there of – of the Republican Party. Paladino is a virus, O’Donnell, virus and Republicans are the disease. Time to put them all out of office.

Wow, straight from watching Fox and Friends I see. Same old hate and fear campaigning. Voting for Republicans is like chickens voting for Colonel Sanders. Not very smart, not very good.

Your point is you would still vote for a complete douche bag, knowing and having witnessed his ignorance and instability? Kudos for you! Know one can accuse you of changing your mind just because you learned something.

lets see ……. little old guy doing his job……..two big three hundred plus pound meat heads……pushing, touching, old guy………..I will break thier face if it happens again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

jimmy b ,you are the smartest blogger i have read in a long time.
I have been reading lots of your work. Thank you for being well in formed.
You need to be a talk show host!

Thank You

They tried. There aren’t too many viable Republicans in the state.

good bro, good

don’t feel bad ugop. Primary voters are always dominated by fringe types. I’d gloat but my people voted for Eric Schneiderman.
Of course we never voted for Tom DiNapoli – only his colleagues in the Assembly did that.
A sane Republican opens his mouth and he gets called a Rino. A sane Democrat opens her mouth and she gets called a Republican.

I’ve never been able to get anything out of the education committee. The committee person under Saland was too dumb and the one under Oppenheimer is too rude.

you’re wrong Dogwarrior. Its those hedge funders that everyone loves to bash that pay the taxes for upstate America.

They should pay more in my opinion, but more federal, not more state. too many have moved to CT as it is.
But damn! they pay taxes!

And black lung and brown fields near pre schools and illiteracy and strip mining and illegitimacy and hillbilly heroin.

You can be fiscally solvent if you ignore society’s ills.

Norman Adler is a jerk.

You mean giving him a bonus and vaction.

!Ya ok STUPID

[Too bad YOU weren't the kid who threw himself off the GWB.]

Just in case you don’t better — that’s a terrible thing to say. Are you reading what the fight was about? Violating Paladino’s child’s privacy. Now you, whoever you are — reference a teenager who jumped off the bridge because of a webcam, I-chat and Facebook because his privacy was horridly violated.

I’m not even reading what you’re writing — however somehow I landed on your insensitive reference.

Maybe they supported him because Cuomo was unbeatable because of the enrollment numbers — and Paladino is paying for his campaign. Doesn’t cost the NY GOP much money to lose. It’s Paladino’s money — he’s going to campaign his way. Along the way, though — he will share information about Cuomo that you won’t see in the news if he didn’t say it.

I was already thinking of sending a vote Paladino’s way, now I defintley good for him for standing up to the reporter.

Perhaps you’re talking about Saland’s committee person after one of the good one’s left — or maybe we disagree, Carpet Bagger.

At one time Saland had a great education committee director. However you are right if you’re talking about Saland’s staff after that person left. When I called Saland’s office about FERPA the education committee person who I talked to said, “Oh — isn’t that a higher education issue?” I didn’t bother following up or educating that person.

And Oppenheimer’s — I don’t know about rude however if they would have put me in the room with their counsel the bill might have had a chance. When the Senate flipped Oppenheimer’s people were new. Not much institutional knowledge. Can’t blame them for that — however it’s frustrating.

Rude is Gillibrand’s office. One of her staff mocked me when I told him I have a blown out shoulder and broken fingers (big klutz) and couldn’t continue to Email what I had already sent — especially since if you don’t know the topic — it’s one sided. If I could meet face to face I could answer questions. The male on the other end of the phone said to me, “OH — so you blew out your shoulder and broke your finger’s typing…. I see.”

I hung up the phone — blogged about it — and Sen. Gillibrand’s DC office called me almost immediately. However — they didn’t do anything, either. So — rude and ineffective. Double header for Gillibrand who I SO wanted to like because I support female law makers AND she gushed with interest when I met her at an event and she asked me to call her office to follow up.

I have a feeling commie that things are going to get worse for you. But don’t feel too bad about it because the next wave is really, really “for the children.” We are not doormats inspite of what you have learned.

You should try Shanghai, I’d bet you fit right in. Please.

Because Lazio ran them most insulting and disgusting campaign against Hilary years back, he’s a scumbag. No better than Cuomo, Upstate NY is sick of getting neglected for NYC, it’s pathetic. Do any of you downstate people know that there is a WHOLE landmass north of you? Man, go Carl. If Upstate NY were to be it’s own state, we’d be so much better off than you people rampant with ignorance. Continue to vote in the failure that is our incumbents? what are you stupid? LOL!

Just Continue to support the corruption in New York, as this is what Cuomo Stands for. He can’t even tell the truth about whether he voted for Bloomberg or not. How typical, a lying, spend happy democrat. PLEASE continue to let welfare drain this State so the recipients can support their drug addiction and Booze. I don’t completely agree with Paladino on many things, but new blood is better than the old and failing stuff. We need a change, and Cuomo does not bring it, he has had his daddy to help line this up. Quite funny really, that when the facts start rolling out about Cuomo and HUD etc. oh boy… Plus! he can’t even answer whether or not he’ll debate Paladino! what a loser!

And what happens when a sane Republican woman opens HER mouth. What is she called? : )

Where does the Republican Party find scum like this? No wonder the country’s going to hell!

But didnt Fred seem way too aggressive right from the get go? He almost seemed like he may have had one too many. Pointing his finger in Paladinos face ” Wheres your proof huh?” Why wouldnt he just say, “OK, so you are just making this accusation with nothing to back it up. Good night”

A miracle?

Sorry. You left me an opening and I had to take it!

gee whiz. Last time I checked, upstate certainly has its share of methuselah legislators who do nothing good and keep dragging the State down, yet they keep getting re-elected by wide margins decade after decade. Is it because they are enrolled in YOUR party, Aaron?

Filming the only innocent in an affair deserves a bloody nose.
Jim Kelly

No, YOU’RE stupid. So there.

If The NY POST was taking pics of my daughter through the window they’d already be “taken out” left wing scumbags approve it and NY Post sucks Cuomo off regularly

Ever been to Cattaraugus County? The roads are a little better, but they’re still just as “backwoods.” The billions in extra government spending haven’t helped. The schools are corrupt. The jobs don’t exist. Heck, Kentucky has a thriving coal mining industry. New York? Can’t even drill for natural gas.

Right but there is no evidence that this reporter sent anyone to this duechebag’s house. If there were he would deserve all he got, but it is more likely popporatizi “journalists” that sent people to spy on this guy and his family. So until you have direct evidence you as a politician are held to a higher standard than your average person as you are I dunno REPRESENTING citizens of a country in an official capacity. So yes protect your kids, but make sure you definitely have the right guy, and if not then have the presence of mind to hold your tongue and anger until you are in private and not being taped.

Um I am noticing another thread within this thread that REALLY bothers me. It appears if you are a Democrat or Republican the other side is gay and taking something and putting it somewhere it does not belong while they have their hair fall out [maybe due to the small brain eluded to at the same time] but all the while that persosns side is virtuous and good and will fix most everything with their spiffy spork of fixing. I maybe the only one to notice A [99.9999% of all government officials ever are either Republican or Democrat, B that definition of what makes a democrat or Republican is always a moving target. C that we most recently seem to be ALWAYS spinning our wheels no matter if a Republican or Democrat are in office D that this same thing continues on and on like this time we have the magic answer. Why don't we try something new and different A we are all Human Beings who are different and yet live within the same geographically enclosed space B those differences cant all be sorted out by only 2 options [that's like saying half the country likes a democrat and the other Republican]. Apparently now if you are one or the other there is no way you could I dunno share any similar views on anything. So why is everything black and white in politics when life is never one way or the other? Since when it is it a bad thing to share some views with one group while sharing other ideas with another when they are both in the end after the same thing [EFFECTIVELY RUNNING A COUNTRY]? I would really love to see nearly all politicians and lobbyists get the boot [I know what my ideas are and what I want to do with my own country I dont need someone paid by a big company to get between me and those people who I want to hear my ideas without getting drowned out because I dont have thousands to donate to your campaign. I also wish people would realize if you have one president [Bush] Spend trillions of dollars a year that it will take longer than 4 years [or even a decade in my opinion] to come close to maybe fixing it. That should lend itself back to my idea of booting most politicians getting some young bloood in the governement that should be more in tune with the times and things like technology [instead of explaining what the internet is these people should have at least a basic working knowledge of something before you can begin to craft laws for said thing under such a complex system of government as ours] not to mention these politicians seem to forget line 1 in most of their job descriptions [Hired by the people AND FOR the people].

Hey Aaron so the wounded veteran who defended your rights as a citizen who got injured [say is a paraplegic because they were shot on the battle field] is now just someone looking to fund a drug and booze habit with social welfare? I really hope you dont get in to say a car accident cause I dunno the over stressed working politician hit you by no fault of your own and when you go to file for SSI [seeing as how that the FASFA tax you pay with every check]. They tell you no because they dont want to buy your drugs and alcohol. I hate such uneducated rhetoric wow, look, if you hear a talking point I suggest you take it with a grain of salt get on the thing called the internet and do some true research before just buying and repeating a very hurtful and un-informed view. Keep in mind if I did not get help with medication so I could work I would be stuck on a hospital bed not working or paying any taxes and all and would be a true drain on society, but with a little help with medication I can now be very productive and pay taxes to pay for the support I do receive making it a net gain for the country instead of a total loss.

Calisoflo I hate to break it to you, but we went to war with Iraq when Bush was in office [with backrrom help via Rove pushing the vote to go to war the Iraq before an election hoping it would make his party look stronger and fighting terrorism rather than say I dunno a valid reason like the human right arocities the Bush family [as close personal friends of the Oil Sheiks in the Middle East [as demostrated by the pictures with them goin on safari with the President Bush hoolding hands with the patriarch of the family [oh Obama bowed in front of someone at least he didnt hold his damned hand all around Washington]. So I am sorry if you see Democrats as drenched in blood, but it was the Republicans wanting to win an election that caused the lies over the WMDs the hurrieded vote to try and maintain their majority in Washington and our current problems with being stuck there]. Also, if Bush’s French only been limited to “Laissez-faire” maybe he would not have told both the the SEC, the FTC, and all oversight authorities of banks to not pursue any cases as the markets could self regulate then maybe we would have had more than the 12 people looking over all of Wall St and caught the housing bubble bursting much sooner and possibly saved us some headache. Not to mention your pointing to a suicide that has nothing to do with the subject at hand I can only guess is designed to hurt the other person. Maybe instead of dreaming of hurtful words you could offer I dunno constructive ideas on what may help us get out of all this trouble as at the end of the day you can take of your partisan robes to go to sleep, but you can never remove yourself from being human which will in the end bind you to us all whether we sink or swim.
