YONKERS -- The New York Post calls K.T. McFarland kooky. How kooky? Well, maybe instead of running for Senator, shes really auditioning for a Get Smart remake.
In March, K.T. accused Senator Clinton of spying on her.

Then the facts came out; K.T. had hired private detectives from the same firm the Clintons hired to spy on conservatives and Republicans -- to spy on John Spencer and his family.
Her campaign consultant Ed Rollins boasted Ive had one of the best detective firms
Newsday noted Soon after she entered the New York Senate race in March, Republican K.T. McFarland told surprised supporters that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton had dispatched helicopters to conduct surveillance over her East End vacation house.
In fact, someone was spying on McFarland: McFarland herself.
According to campaign finance records, the former Reagan-era Pentagon aide paid $12,000 to Investigative Group International, a detective agency, to dig up dirt on her own family, to see if they could withstand the scrutiny of a Senate bid.
McFarland, who claimed later that the Clinton remark was a joke, has also hired an unnamed detective to snoop on her main Republican foe, ex-Yonkers mayor John Spencer.
So lets get this straight. K.T. said Hillary was peeping on her when K.T. was the one digging for dirt. Thats cynical politics. Come to think of it, K.T. McFarland couldnt star in a Get Smart remake. The show is too smart for her.

ALBANY - A Republican challenger to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is bizarrely claiming that the former first lady has been spying in her bedroom window and flying helicopters over her house in the Hamptons, witnesses told The Post yesterday.
Former Reagan-era Pentagon official Kathleen KT McFarland stunned a crowd of Suffolk County Republicans on Thursday by saying:
Hillary Clinton is really worried about me, and is so worried, in fact, that she had helicopters flying over my house in Southampton today taking pictures, according to a prominent GOP activist who was at the event.
She wasnt joking, she was very, very serious, and she also claimed that Clintons people were taking pictures across the street from her house in Manhattan, taking pictures from an apartment across the street from her bedroom, added the eyewitness, who is not involved in the Senate race.
Suffolk County Republican Chairman Harry Withers, who hosted the reception in East Islip, confirmed McFarlands paranoid statements.
Yes, she said that, Withers told The Post.
McFarland spokesman William OReilly responded that the GOP hopeful was just kidding around with her far-fetched claims.
It was a joke, and people laughed, OReilly insisted.
But three witnesses who were present said nobody in the audience cracked a smile.
