Hi Everyone:
Sometimes I wonder if politicians actually think before they speak. If they did, common sense would dictate to them if they should say something or not. Case in point is Carl Paladino yet again.
Carl Paladino is the Republican Gubernatorial candidate here in NY. I wrote about Mr. Paladino on 9/12/10, yet it seems that he will never cease to amaze me by his words. This past week, a reporter from a major NYC newspaper was interviewing him (which was caught on video) and Mr. Paladino got upset with the reporter and then told the reporter that he was going to "take him out." The reporter asked "how he was going to do that"? Paladino responded "watch."
I'm pretty sure that Paladino isn't going to take the reporter out to dinner or out on a date. So taking him out then means to kill him. WTH?!!!!! How can a candidate for Governor say he is going to kill someone? Even with a camera focused on him, Paladino obviously said what he meant. But did he mean what he said? Too late now, he said what he said and the spin doctors can try their best to subdue the damage he did to himself. Maybe, just maybe, if Paladino had an ounce of common sense he would not have said that. Why would a political wannabe shoot himself in the foot while sticking his other foot in his mouth by saying something so outrageous? It would appear that Paladino has a short fuse, is thin skinned, speaks before thinking and most of all, lacks any common sense what-so-ever. If this doesn't end his political aspirations, I don't know what will.
Enough said!
Til next week.
