NY Gov: Paladino Smears Cuomo ‘Like a Rotten Hot Dog Wrapped in a Bacon of Sadness,’ Says Gawker

October 10, 2010 Jon Ponder

I didn’t march in the Gay Pride parade this year. My opponent did. There is nothing to be proud of in being a dysfunctional homosexual. That’s not how God created us, and that’s not the example that we should be showing our children – and certainly not in our schools.

– Carl Paladino, GOP tea bagger candidate for governor of New York.

For those of you keeping score at home, that’s a smear of Paladino’s Democratic opponent Andrew Cuomo wrapped inside a layer of gay-bashing like a rotten hot dog wrapped in bacon made of sadness.

– Adrien Chen at Gawker.

O, the Insanity!

Or candidates who switch from nice-o to mean-o.
But when it comes to true nutters,
Is there anyone better
Than New York’s freak-o Carl Paladino?

“He’s played through this really old entire playbook where there’s no floor for him in terms of how low he will go. And we should be prepared for that, we should be prepared for the fact that he is not burdened by telling the truth… I think he’s gonna lie.”

“I have never seen a candidate more determined to blow an election.”

— GOP pollster Frank Luntz, on X, on Donald Trump’s latest vow to use the power of government to imprison his political opponents.

“Cheney and I agree on nothing — no issues. But what we do believe in is that the United States should retain its democratic foundations …. I applaud the Cheneys for their courage in defending democracy.”

— Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), on Meet the Press.

“A series of tests confront Trump heading into Tuesday’s event, about self-discipline, knowledge, his age and acuity, his overall temperament, and how he deals with the issues of race and gender. For the past six weeks, he’s often been failing those tests.”
