Paladino: Cuomo 'Should Be In Jail' (NY-Gov)

[brooklynite]

Source: Talking Points Memo

In an interview with Alan Colmes last night, New York Republican gubernatorial nominee Carl Paladino said that his Democratic opponent Attorney General Andrew Cuomo "should be in jail, because he allowed (Steve) Rattner to walk."

Rattner, former "car czar" for the Obama Administration, was accused of being involved in a New York pension fund scam that was under criminal investigation in April 2009. And Paladino said he would "absolutely" have Cuomo prosecuted if elected governor.

This probably won't help Paladino's image as a "loose cannon," which is how 61% of likely voters view him, according to a Siena poll released today.

The TPM Poll Average shows Cuomo leading 53.2%-37.7%.

He'll be here all week, folks. Try the veal. Don't forget to tip your waiter...

[MadMaddie]

1. I hope that spread gets larger!

[lark]

2. Keep talking, Paladino

Every time your mouth opens, your poll numbers take a dive. lol

[Pab Sungenis]

7. And the further down his numbers go

the fewer Republicans will vote next month in NYS, hopefully tipping the legislature and some fragile House seats to us.

[Warren Stupidity]

3. The lunatics are in my hall

The Rebagnut Party is being taken over by absolute loons, and they are poised to sweep this midterm election.

Anyone else see a problem here?

Is it just me?

[RoccoR5955]

4. I say Paladino should be in jail!

After stealing the money for jobs, and then only creating one.

[SoapBox]

5. He's mentally unstable and should be picked up for observation.

Truly...this guy is a danger to society and himself.

[progressoid]

6. Heard him on NPR today.

That guy is a loon. And way too tightly wound.

[glinda]

8. I heard that also. He sounds like a drunk and a madman. He made it clear he will

make his own rules and do whatever he wants. He is a monster and anyone who votes for him should have their head examined.

[COLGATE4]

9. Hard to believe that over 40% of the voters want to.

[Arkana]

10. Yeah, telling everyone you're gonna have your opponent locked up if you win

is a surefire way to appeal to anyone to the left of Adolf Hitler.

Paladino continues to top himself.

[kiranon]

11. Guess Paladino never heard of "prosecutorial discretion". It doesn't

reside in the Governor - not his call to make.

[depakid]

12. To be fair to the madman, it does look like another case of where a fraudster walked

All too common in America these days.

13. Didn't anyone see Lawrence O'Donnell's commentary

about Paladino tonight? He ripped him to shreds. It's was brilliant.

Paladino sounds like a total hypocritical whacko nutjob.

[glinda]

15. It was great! I heard it.

[COLGATE4]

14. And Paladino should be in a nut house! nt

[glinda]

16. We could add a few names to that list.
