| I almost pity the NY GOP in their travails in picking a lamb to sacrifice to Andrew Cuomo. They main choice is between a bigoted Democratic party-flipper in the finest Dixiecrat tradition and a washed-up former congressman who is having trouble-err- getting people to notice his existence.
But there is a third contestant in the race for the Christian Nationalist GOP nomination. That would be eccentric millionaire Montgomery Burns Carl Paladino. And Carl Paladino just compared the passage of Health Care Reform to 9/11
"The day that bill was passed will be remembered just as 9-11 was remembered in history," Paladino told Curtis Sliwa during an early morning interview on AM-970. "It was an attempt by these people in Washington to defy the Constitution."
9/11 family member Donna Marsh O'Connor said this in response:
Donna Marsh O'Connor, whose pregnant, 29-year-old daughter was killed at the World Trade Center during the attacks... was disguested, "It is despicable if in someone's mind those events are analogous. That is not a person who should be a leader of our country, of a state, of a city, of any community."
How Mr. Paladino even sleeps at night is beyond my comprehension. |
