Ex-Sen. D'Amato to be a dad again at 70

NEW YORK -- Former Sen. Alfonse D'Amato is looking forward to a few big milestones - his anniversary, his 70th birthday and a baby.

"If you had told me this prior to getting married, I would have said you're out of your mind," D'Amato joked Friday as he confirmed his wife, attorney Katuria D'Amato, 41, is due in February.

The D'Amatos celebrate their third anniversary next week; his birthday is Aug. 1.

"We're tremendously blessed. God has given us this wonderful news and we're very excited about it," D'Amato said.

The baby business isn't exactly new to D'Amato, who lost his bid for a fourth term in 1998 and now runs a consulting firm. The colorful Republican - proud owner of two of the longest filibusters in Senate history, including one that fell just short of 24 hours - has four adult children from his previous marriage and 14 grandchildren.

But his daddy skills may be a little rusty.

"Last time around was so long ago that I really can't recall," he conceded, though he hasn't forgotten the joys of diaper duty.

If the baby's a boy, he'll probably be named Alfonse Marcello Jr. If it's a girl, "Kat will decide."

He has a young wife too, like Fred Thompson. A trophy wife? (I have no idea what she looks like).

Wonder if Sen D’Amato will receive the same scrutiny and concern from the MSM?

This proves the wisdom of treating ANY old ammo found laying around as potentially LIVE ammo.

Right Kat?

LOL

Alphonse can thank me. They derived the formula for Viagra, and other related ED drugs, from the 2 tubes of blood taken from me by some unknown phlebotomist......

Sad commentary on the GOP. A former Republican Senator is more virile and fertile at 70 than most of that treacherous lot now infesting the Senate Chambers . Goober Graham comes first to mind.

Every trophy wife know that her hooks aren’t REALLY into the money until she pops out a kid.

Yea, the kid can take his friends to visit his father. He can say “that’s my father over there, the one in the wheelchair equipped with the drool cup”.

That goes for all economic brackets. It's biological, something in our evolution.

I'm not necessarily "against it", but still - it just isn't right that his father will be 92 when he graduates from college, if he even lives that long.

So... congratulations to him, although I can't understand it.

I've seen her in person. Pretty with dark hair. He looked foolish standing next to her. She would never have given him a second look if his first name wasn't Senator.

I'm sure all his children from the first marriage are thrilled at the news.

An FBI man still hitting home runs at 70. Not unusual, not unusual at all. VIVA ITALIA! :-)

I just wrote in my blog that if you’re gonna be a wuss, you’d better be a John Denver or a Barry Manilow, or else you lose big time!

When the lad grows up he'll be able to return the favor and change Alfonse's diaper.

Tru Dat!!

Da Fonse once called a press conference to declare he was in love with Claudia Cohen after she walked with maybe 80 million from just such a love-child. (according to WIKI)

So sad and unfair. Ms. Cohn has passed away while the Fonz is still procreating.
