On the other hand, he's got a cool look and he couldn't be worse than Cuomo. If it were between him and Cuomo, I would go for him. Just on the Frederick Douglass look alone. You be the judge:

If you're a New Yorker, you may laugh at him, but guess what? That's more than NewsFeed pays (nyah-nyah!) The New York Post today has a scoop on New York's newest political hero, Jimmy McMillan, a black-gloved, exquisitely mustached Vietnam veteran running for Governor of New York under the banner of the Rent Is Too Damn High Party. But as quickly as fortunes rise in this state, so too do they fall: The Post is reporting breathlessly that McMillan only pays $800 a month for a one-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn. Or, as they put it, "his rent isn't that damn high!"
NewsFeed, however, would like to note a few points in defense of McMillan.
First, while $800 a month is a pittance compared to rents in Manhattan, NewsFeed would venture that to readers outside New York, LA and London, that rent seems fairly expensive. Secondly, we would also note that $800 a month is not low at all for an apartment in a non-tony area of Brooklyn. (McMillan lives in Flatbush.) NewsFeed paid less when we lived in Bed-Stuy.
Third, and most importantly, does the amount McMillan personally pays in rent make his concerns invalid?(continued)

I read he actually pays nothing in exchange for maintainence work
I read that, too.
I wonder if what he really meant was that the federal, state, and local income tax he pays on that free rent...assuming it shows up on his tax returns...is too high?
Doesn’t he call for government-subsidized housing, food and utilities?
Another communist crawling out of the woodwork. An immediate MSM Hero of the State.
Do you think he even pays taxes on this imputed pay in leiu of rent?
probably. He wants OTM, what else is new under the sun?
He should be elected governor of CALIFORNIA. The state is inexorably sliding to Hell and at least it would be more colorful.
Nope, of course not.
But I bet every Leftie around would label as mean spirited, hateful, and anti-whatevergroupheblongsto anybody who had the temerity to publicaly ask him abourt it.
He’s one of the lords of flatbush don’t ya know?
with that facial hair he could be a tv star. lol
I know what quality of “maintenance work” this dim bulb peforms. . .my hubby as an HVAC worker has a colleague who is clearly a “pity” hire, aka “equal opportunity” hire who does nothing more than vacuum furnaces and changes filters and then he can’t get that right. Seems his only forte is in being a drug dealer (supposedly reformed).
Pardon me while I yawn.
Hopefully he’ll take lots of minority votes away from Cuomo Jr!! Run, dude, run!
lol
Please contact me if you’re interested in being added on or taken off the Carl Paladino for Governor ping list. This looks to be a fairly high volume ping list for a while, probably until the election.
that’s Samuel Jackson in disguise.
