Make Room for Batty!

Yesterday was a struggle for me, trying to decide whether to feature Christine O'Donnell and Delaware, or this guy, Carl Paladino of New York.

You can read about him here and here and here. Or google him yourself to check out more details about him.

He says he is going to stop the Islamic Community Center by exercising eminent domain. Don't conservatives believe in property rights any more?

You know the voters are mad when they completely give up. And by giving up, I don't mean stay home, I mean deliberately vote for someone so embarrassing he should be on Jerry Springer instead of the GOP candidate for New York governor. This guy makes the hooker-hiring-governor look like a prize.

He's racist, sexist, elitist, and he talks like a thug. He actually wants to put welfare recipients in prison camps and have them work in state-administered labor. He says its "voluntary," but if he cuts their assistance, their choice is (a) starve or (2) become a slave to the state of New York. Sure, that's a choice.

People who voted for this guy should wear masks to hide their faces. Here is one the emails he sent.



His excuse for this and the other offensive emails? He heads a construction company. Things get a little rough.

I used to work for a real estate developer and get angry because some of the lazy-ass workers would pee in empty water bottles and leave them all over the development rather than walk 10 steps to the port-o-john OR trash-can. And excuses were made then too: "They're construction guys. heh heh heh. They do that." You know what? If you are not potty trained, you should probably not have a big-boy job. And if you are not ethical and smart enough to delete racist emails rather than forwarding them, then you shouldn't be governor! OF ANY STATE!

As frustrating as "politics as usual" can be the "machine" actually trains and hones people. What is this moron going to do if he actually wins? He's pissed-off everyone in the state! So, New York GOP, your best case scenario is you waste your vote on him. Your worst case scenario is that he wins, and your entire state waste four years on him.

But I'll advise you the same way I advised the Delawartions: don't beat yourself up. If you do, I'm calling Ms. O'Donnell and SALT to wrap your knuckles. (Or are you in to that?)
