Did you happen to catch Fran Driesher (aka, “The Ninny”) on O’Reilly the other day? She apparently lusted after the Senate seat too. What an incredible lightweight—I thought she would just float away. It was embarrasing to watch her answer questiosn with catch-phrase, liberal slogans. I really don’t think she has had an original though of her own. She wouldn’t confirm or deny if she even had talks with the Governor about it (I suspect he wouldn’t even return her calls).
Paterson did the right thing in this case, but I think it’s more a matter of the broken clock being right twice a day.
He handled things ineptly leading up to it in my opinion-the fact that Caroline was even seriously considered shows how wrong things are in this country—instead of people who know what they’re doing running for office, all we have these days are rich people’s kids-Bush, Gore, Jessuh Jackass Jr., Cuomo, and the Kennedys—or else we have Manchurian candidates, who came up in obscurity and were propelled to the forefront by America-hating entities (see Clinton, Bill or Obama, Barack) or else we have inept affirmative action candidates like Obama or Paterson or Kwame Kilpatrick, etc. Now we’re getting fifth-rate celebutards like Al Franken.
