Gov. Paterson rapped Caroline Kennedy at a private event the night before he tapped Kirsten Gillibrand for the Senate, telling guests Kennedy had been "nasty" to him and shown "disrespect" with how she bowed out, attendees told The Post.
The governor's attack came just hours after his office issued a statement wishing her well and disavowing quotes from a source close to him who had told The Post Kennedy had never been in true contention for the seat and was "mired" in personal issues.

What semi-observant person couldn’t have seen this coming after seeing 60 seconds of her. She’s obviously a piece of work.
Hey,Caroline,maybe Carlos Slim is available?
What a nasty comment for the Gov to make. While Caroline may be the world’s worst wannabe Senator, the Gov has surely handled this badly and in a ugly ugly way. Why does he need to talk about her, leak infor, etc?
Hillary has a role in this.
True, but with people like Patty Murray(D) in the U.S. Senate, it hard to find the bottom of the RAT Senatorial incompetence pool.
I think we need 60 Minutes to interview Blago on the twists and turns of the NY U.S. Senator selection process.
Why? Warning shot across the bow of Andrew Cuomo. Paterson want to shoiw he can play rough.
It’s hard to find the victim here
But the Governor of New York doesn’t need to be sniping at Caroline Kennedy
Or needs a more loyal staff than one that leaks petty gossip by petty people
She didn’t return his call for a few hours? That’s just Kennedy Call-In Syndrome. Ted had it, most notably in the morning of July 19, 1969. Alcohol is said to aggravate the condition.
Hell hath no fury like a primadonna scorned. Scaaaarrrry!
the first thing that popped in my mind while reading this was the governor’s reaction to the snl skit.
It sounds like we have very immature people trying to deal with grown up issues.
C’mon governor. You’d turn nasty too if you looked like an iguana.
Seriously? I never saw or heard anything about that.
Something's going on with this women. Unfortunately things are starting to go public.
Makes us glad we're all in the serfs.
See - this is the problem with one party rule, and in NY you have one party rule.
This Guv seems like a sharp guy.
