I’m a liberal New York Democrat, and I’ll say one thing for Carl Paladino — the guy has chutzpah. After his bizarre, near-violent attack<\/a> on the New York Post’s Fred Dicker last week, he had the audacity to describe gubernatorial opponent Andrew Cuomo as “out of control.”<\/a><\/p>\n

Apparently this is how an in-control candidate behaves:<\/p>\n

1. Accuses his opponent (Andrew Cuomo) of cheating on wife.<\/p>\n

2. Accuses Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post of bias because it didn’t ask Cuomo about wife-cheating.<\/p>\n

3. Menaces and comes dangerously close to physically harming the old, frail-looking Fred Dicker because Dicker had the audacity to ask if he had any evidence that Cuomo cheated on his wife.<\/p>\n

4. Promises to produce wife-cheating evidence at the appropriate time.<\/p>\n

5. Denies that he promised to produce wife-cheating evidence.<\/p>\n

6. After a video of his bullying, abusive, and near-violent attack on Dicker draws a negative response and a loose cannon perception,<\/a> even among Republicans, tells the Wall Street Journal he wants to focus on the issues<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Limerick Ode To Carl Paladino
\nBy Madeleine Begun Kane<\/p>\n

Paladino is always irate,
\nSpreading venom and anger and hate.
\nHe claims to be able,
\nBut seems quite unstable.
\nIf he wins, we are screwed — no debate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
