OMG, you have GOT to love THIS!
Leftists everywhere are throwing hissy fits en masse because NY Governor David Paterson chose NY Congresswoman Kirstin Gillibrand (D-Albany), described as a CONSERVATIVE democrat, to replace HRC.
Their allegation? Why, Gillibrand "lacks experience," yet she has far more federal government experience than Barack Obama!
That's one of the problems with the left. They're so hypocritical, they flip their double standard switch on and off like a turn-signal.
But of course, we all know that her "experience" is meaningless to the fringers. The BIGGEST problem is that apparently, she breaks from the fold (A requirement to win in a heavily GOP district) and actually thinks for herself. Endorsed by the NRA and a TARP opponent, I could actually vote for this woman... and cheerfully, while the left busily looses their few remaining functioning brain cells in the process.
While I had stated earlier my preference for Cuomo, now the NY AG, the fact is that the preference in question was a choice between Cuomo and Caroline K... who doesn't even have experience as a "community organizer."
Leftist heads are exploding all over the country. And that's ALWAYS a hoot!

ALBANY - Gov. Paterson, defying the liberal wing of his Democratic Party, has chosen little-known, NRA-backed, upstate Congresswoman Kirsten Gillibrand to succeed Hillary Rodham Clinton as New York's junior senator, it was learned last night.
ALBANY - Gov. Paterson, defying the liberal wing of his Democratic Party, has chosen little-known, NRA-backed, upstate Congresswoman Kirsten Gillibrand to succeed Hillary Rodham Clinton as New York's junior senator, it was learned last night.
The surprising - and, for many Democrats shocking - decision to pick the conservative Gillibrand, 42, from Hudson in Columbia County, was disclosed by the governor in calls to party officials and some members of the state's congressional delegation, many of whom said they were unhappy with the selection, sources said.

Gillibrand, a mother of two occasionally resented by colleagues for being an aggressive self-promoter, was strongly backed for the post by Charles Schumer, the state's senior senator, who said a woman and an upstater was needed on next year's ticket.
