Weld, in Tier, says he was born to be (NY) governor

[brooklynite]

ITHACA — He's a crimson guy with the red party running for governor of a blue Northeast state.

Again.

"My feeling is, this is the job I was born to do," New York gubernatorial candidate and former Massachusetts governor William Weld said before giving a speech at the Tompkins County Republican Party's annual Lincoln Dinner Saturday night.

The New York-born Weld, 60, was educated at Harvard and served as a federal prosecutor during the Reagan administration before running for elected office. Weld, who grew up on Long Island, took up residence in New York, again, in 2000.

Well, why didn't he say that before? I'll be happy to switch my vote now...

(I guess Massachusetts was just an out of town tryout?)

4. Spitzer and Hillary

Take it to the bank. The only question is by how much.

5. I guess the voters of Massachusetts mean shit to Mr. Weld

I would like for him to return to Boston and apologize to Mass. voters for wasting almost eight years of their time (including the time he spent running for Senate against Kerry and then resigning from Governor to try and become Clinton's ambassador to Mexico.)

6. Well, he unloaded the old state, the old wife, and I guess he's bored

Incredible. He's got a lotta moxie, frankly.

[endarkenment]

7. Yeah he was bored to be governor of Mass too. nt.

8. And he said this in Ithaca?

The city that right wing nuts call the City of Evil?

Dumb.
