D'Amato takes aim at (NY) gov hopeful Weld

Edited on Wed Jan-04-06 03:11 PM by brooklynite

GOP Gubernatorial hopeful Bill Weld came under a blistering attack last night from ex-Sen. Alfonse D'Amato, who argued the former Massachusetts governor has "a lot of explaining to do" about a simmering scandal at a Kentucky school.

D'Amato went after Weld in an interview on the cable news station New York 1, saying, "he wouldn't be my choice at all" in New York's Republican gubernatorial primary this year.

D'Amato conceded that part of his dislike for Weld stemmed from the prosecution of his brother Armand by the federal Justice Department, for which Weld had been a top official before getting elected governor of Massachusetts.

Armand D'Amato, a lobbyist, later succeeded in getting his conviction tossed out on appeal.

5. I was referring to the remarks he made about her during the race.

Sorry for the confusion.

On edit: I thought he has been pretty quiet since then.
