Paladino, in case you haven't heard, is that crazy bastard who loves Staten Island. He wants to be your next Governor.
In defense of Richmond County Republicans, they didn't vote for him in the primary. He was defeated narrowly in our borough by Rick Lazio. And the Boro President Oswald Copperpot has even said that Paladino "has to tone himself down." (Coming from this guy, that's saying a lot.)
He now faces Attorney General Andrew Cuomo in the general election.
This morning we were greeted with this video from Fox 5, where a sweaty Paladino is defending himself against charges of racism and malfeasance.
'I'm not a racist' is not a good way to start a day, or a campaign for governor. Strike 1.
Then Paladino - who has an illegitimate child - accused Andrew Cuomo of cheating on his ex-wife, telling Politico reporter Maggie Haberman that she should ask Cuomo about his "paramours."
There was no evidence for this, (strike 2) which led to the third and final mishap of Paladino's day - three strikes and a nail in the coffin of his political career.
He is seen below arguing with New York Post's Fred Dicker after being confronted about the affair allegations (we hear they have a history). And Paladino explodes.
"You send another goon to my daughter's house and I'll take you out, buddy!" Paladino tells Dicker.
Chaos ensues. Classic political buffoonery. This one's going viral.
