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

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.

Comment referring to the Jacksonville Times-Union as quoted by Folio Weekly from the blog, Whacksonville.com. The comment, however, could well be applied to regular posters on any mainstream news outlet web site.

Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), with three. The other 13 notices have gone to candidates who only got one each.
