Heckuva Job, Governor Paterson
The NYTimes informs me that Governor Paterson (Idiot, NY) has made a bit of a mess in his replacement of Hilary Clinton by Kirsten Gillibrand as New York Senator. It looks from here (Illinois, another large state with an idiot governor) that Paterson has signed his very own political death warrant. The new Senator he appointed is also vulnerable to a primary challenge.
Representative Carolyn McCarthy has already said she will challenge Gillibrand in next year’s primary because of the latter’s gun fetish. Others may also be tempted. If Gillibrand does not move convincingly and swiftly to the left, or at least the center of the Democratic Party, it is difficult to see how she gets nominated.
Paterson himself may be challenged by New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo. My money would be on Cuomo.
Speaking of money, I would be tempted to send McCarthy and Cuomo a couple of bucks for their respecitive 2010 campaigns – and I am one cheap effing bastard.
