Tea party-backed 2010 GOP gubernatorial nominee Carl Paladino won’t run for the now-vacant seat of former Rep. Chris Lee (R-N.Y), instead throwing his support behind state Assemblywoman Jane Corwin (R) should she run.
In the wake of Lee’s quick resignation Wednesday evening after embarrassing web postings and photos surfaced on Gawker, a source close to Paladino told Hotline On Call that the outspoken and controversial wealthy businessman was being “heavily lobbied” to run for the seat. Paladino lives just outside the district, but New York state law does not require candidates to live within the district’s boundaries.
Oh. In that case, Christine O’Donnell should run. Or even better: Ronald Reagan’s corpse. Or best of all: Hosni Mubarak. He’ll be unemployed soon and has a great “war chest,” right? [Hotline]

But his campaign slogan of "horsefucking" would have been a sure winner.
Let's hope Sharron Angle doesn't find out about this.
If it gets her the fuck out of my state, I'll buy her bus ticket.
Honestly, I suspect Hosni Mabarak would be softer on civil liberties, and the poors, than Carl Paladino would.
Bristol is hinting that she's ready to "step up to the plate" I bet she could buy a house with cash there too. Hopefully, this house will have a full length mirror so that she can see that she needs to step away from the plate for a long while.
The average house cost in Buffalo is less than her monthly meth budget.
The average GDP of most sub-Saharan African countries is less than her monthly meth budget.
She uses a lot of meth is what I'm getting at.
The average GNP of Western Europe is less than her Taco Bell budget.
You mean the average GDP of the "country" of Africa.
Disagree. I worked at a courthouse and can tell you that in 90% of all cases, meth makes you super skinny. I have no idea what she's doing.
Cheetos, Gorditas, Fritos, etc.: Anything with "eat" right there in the name.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Zombie Jimmy Griffin.

Jesus Christ tho, is WNY just so fucked up because we all left for greener pastures?
…was being “heavily lobbied” to run for the seat
I think pretending to "heavily lobby" is what got Rep Lee in trouble in the first place.
Donald Trump's CPAC announcement is the kickoff of his new show, "Celebrity Legislator", where eight persons will vie for the chance to represent the Empire State for the remainder of Lee's term, and receive $1MM re-election fund to be banked against 2012.
The eight nominees are:
- Michaele Salahi
- That "The Bachelor" guy
- RuPaul
- Jimmy "Rent Is Too Damn High" McMillan
- Ted "Golden Voice" Williams
- Bristol Palin
- Harold Ford, Jr
- Meat Loaf
"I'd do anything for elected office, but I won't do that."
Damn – RuPaul, Jimmy McMillan or Meat Loaf. Now that's a tough call.
Is Michael Steele going to be in the second season?
Out of pocket, Christine can only run for Hogwart's.
"She's [Corwin] an attractive woman and a self-funder," one Republican source told McCarthy. "It's the way to go."
That's always the way to go.
That's how they do it, now. Forget about background checks. They pick out someone from a line-up that Sears/Value City catalogue handsome/pretty, make sure they have enough money, and run 'em until the wheels come off, as they inevitably do all the damned time.
That must be the advice John McCain's parents gave him.
throwing his support behind state Assemblywoman Jane Corwin (R)
Support? Not too bad. If he throws his weight behind her it will be sadly deceased and crushed to death in lard Assemblywoman Jane Corwin
Paladino knew that if he ran, that video of him wearing a Speedo and grinding on a rentboy would surface.
Thanks for that mental image…MUST —-WASH —–BRAIN!!!!!!!
Considering the size of her thighs, that would be a BIG fucking belt.
In that case, make it a duplex.
Consider it did!
GEEZ, you know Chris looked fairly normal, for a Repug…Hetero, and all….What are the odds we'll get another Ben Quayle type mouth breather or a Rand Paul wild hair almost-Doctor? Fingers crossed!
Or a "lady" with a really screechy voice and no education.
That would be welcome to both sides, esp. if she had some T & A going for her, this is 'Merika, after all.
"New York state law does not require candidates to live within the district’s boundaries."
You know, the awful upstate burghers (i.e. Lee and Paladino's base) complain about how this state is fucked up when really they mean "fuck the blacks and the poors" (PROPERTY TAXES WAH WAH), but every once in a while…stuff like this, gives some credence to their kvetching.
I still want to punch the next person who complains about taxes though (sorry, having my health insurance played as a political football is kind of annoying).
what really gets me is that I pay about the same for rent in california as they pay back in buffalo. gas prices, about the same every time i talk to my dad. add medical marijuana to that, and the weather, and everything else, and why would I ever move back there?
Too bad…Crazy Carl would have been good foar sum laughs…
I'm surprised Tea Party Express doesn't have Joe Miller out on the stump already. They already bought and paid for that fool, I'm sure they'd like to get some work out of him.
isn't paladino a horse name, or am i thinking of palomino?
