At Least He's Not Your Gubernatorial Candidate

Meet Carl Paladino, candidate for Governor of New York.

Why is he running?  Paladino says “I’m mad as Hell and I’m not going to take this anymore!”  (Original, no?)

What party does he represent?  Well, with a position that health care reform will kill more people than 9/11, you might guess that he’s going for the Tea Party support base.  You’d be right; Paladino has the support of the Erie County local Tea Party and is running on the Republican ticket.  Of course, this is New York – nothing’s simple when it comes to party affiliation.  Despite some early attacks against his rivals for donating to Democratic candidates, Paladino is also a frequent contributor to Democratic office-holders; and he’s only been a Republican for five years, prior to which he was a long-time registered Democrat.  But wait – that’s not all…  He failed to get the Conservative Party line, prompting him to criticize the undemocratic nature of the party’s endorsement process.

Why does he have a chance?  Well, he’s got $150 million in his personal fortune, and he’s willing to spend $10 million of his own to win the race.  And there’s that Tea Party support (and it looks like the righty bloggers like him, too).

What’s not to like about such a fine candidate, with cross-party appeal, tie-ins to an activist network and so on?

Well, it could be the 10 year old love child he had with an office assistant – that he failed to tell his wife about but did inform his kids of…

Or it could be the white supremacist video of dancing African tribesman titled “Obama Inauguration Rehersal”.

Or maybe it’s the bestiality video of a man and a horse he sent out via e-mail…

Just possibly it could be the picture of the Obamas dresed up as a pimp and a prostitute titled “White House Ball”…

Or it might be the “keeper” video he sent titled “Miss France 2008 fucking”…

Or maybe it’s the image with the caption, “HOLY SHIT, run niggers, run.”

Paladino is unapologetic for his words and actions; he is proud of his up front and controversial nature.  About the revelations of his e-mails, he claims Democrats are just trying to turn from the issues to talking about “having sex with horses”.

No, really.
