More Paladino porn emails have surfaced – no horses in these, but they’re graphic. They’re accompanied by a quote from the speech written by Carl’s rabbi and delivered by him, ““We must stop pandering to the pornographers and the perverts who seek to target our children and destroy their lives…”
In other Carl news, his gay nephew says that he’s “very offended” and has stopped showing up for work on Carl’s campaign, and his rabbi withdrew his support over Carl’s non-apology apology.

Even without the homophobia, that rabbi is a huge douche. I’ll bet Paladino is real happy to get set up, then stabbed in the back by him.

So Carl is an actual wanker as well as a metaphorical one?
I doubt that this will hurt him. Republican voters are as untroubled by hypocrisy as they are unable to correctly spell it.

It’s still mind blowing that a) He’s catching shit for this. b) Pols are openly standing up and giving him shit for this.
Yes, I’m old.
I love it when fRightwing assholes fall out.
Also2: Once again I wonder if one guy at the NYP is responsible for gems like these, or is it a general requirement for employment.

This guy and the witch in Delaware are just East Coast distractions the Republicans set up so nobody would notice Pat Toomey, Marco Rubio and Linda McMahon, right? These aren’t real candidates, right?
And the Nazi dude in Ohio was jsut placed there in case things got tight in an Ohio race and they needed a media distraction, right? Anyone catch this one from Politico with John Boehner’s PAC splitting hairs between a Nazi vs. an SS member:

These can’t be real candidates, they have to be smokescreens (and effective ones). How else explain CNN covering a Delaware Senate debate in prime time. Well, other than any excuse not to have to air Parker/Spitzer I guess.

Well, these e-mails are a step up from “Palomino” Paladino’s previous ones. You know, like the one with the well-hung horsy being ridden by an upside-down female jockey.
‘I love the smell of hypocrisy in the morning. It… it smells like… DEFEAT!’

It’s going to be very interesting to see how many people actually vote for Paladino. I’m guessing the type of people who would have fits if a disgusting pervert like Paladino lived in their neighborhood but close their ears and eyes to vote for him because a soshalist Dem would be unthinkable.

that whole nyt article is a hoot — the travails of pandering … this election cycle is one for the history books. the level of crazy that has surfaced is amazing.

I’ll be voting for this guy (and laughing my ass off!) simply because it hurts so many Dems’ fee fees. And Monty Python couldn’t create a more humorous candidate!
Don’t worry guys, the Cuomo machine will crush him anyway.

Who could have imagined that teabaggers would make completely incompetent, not-ready-for-prime-time candidates?

Show me a republican who isn’t a hypercritic and I’ll show you a Christian who is actually a Christian … that is why those assholes (all people who call themselves Christian and republican) can’t ever admit the truth or allow themselves to be told the truth – if they ever did, they’d have to look in the mirror and see what a lie they are living. That is how so many Ministers (rarely talked about) AND Catholic Priest (much better known) can molest children and get away with it. That is also why wealthy people in this “god-fearing” country (especially the middle class (yeah, remember by repub-a-thug definitions, that is anyone earning over $250 K/yr)) right down to real middle class well fare queens with their government pensions, Medicare, unearned SS (and I don’t mean NAZI here) and endless other government subsidies (remember home interest write off, and write off of realestate taxes to name just two big ones) can fill their lives with McMansions, own a second home just to live in a few weeks every year, buy endless electronic toys (mostly made in third world countries at slave wages), cars (that can hold five or six people used to drive around one person), endless food (high in fat and corn based sugar) and even a war of choice (where hundred’s of thousands were murdered to prove a little boy could one-up his daddy – guess he had a mommy complex, too) while claiming they are devoted Christians – what a fucking joke they all are but what a terrible tragedy for so many humans in this world; Christ wouldn’t know 99% of the so-called Christians in this country. Sick bastards all.

In a sane election year, Marco Rubio would never have gotten out of the primaries because of his extreme views, Sharron Angle would have gotten 15% maybe in the primaries, and Carl Paladino wouldn’t have made it to primary day. I don’t even know what to do anymore.

wow, i almost choked on my kosher pastrami sandwich!

Carl is a perfect conservative. This is what it means to be a conservative: Its how others should live and behave.
Besides, Retards are going to vote for family value party anyway no matter what Carl thinks of horses.
Comrade Sock Puppet of the Great Satan
Are we saving the “Fallen Paladin[o]” headline until after Cuomo beats him, or is no-one making D&D jokes after 4th Edition?

Time to create the Paladino Exemption:
When you watch porn, you are a pervert who endangers our children. Carl Paladino on the other hand is simply a statesman with a roguish sense of humor, who deserves a few hours of quality time with himself and his only friend.

@chopper:
No no, that’s not the most funniest quote in the whole article, the funniest quote is:
“…And then they showed me the statement. I almost choked on the kosher salami.”
haha.. choked on a kosher salami.. if that isn’t some fantastic symbolism, I don’t know what is! Whose salami were you choking on, buddy?! Are you sure it was kosher? Was he kosher?!
That rabbi is a hoot. I needed a good laugh this morning.

@Cain:
yeah, i was kinda going on memory with the quote. i just like how he pointed out twice that the sandwich was kosher, like it’s in question. my first thought when i see a haredi dude talking about eating a sandwich is ‘shit, is it kosher? is there a story here?’
also, i half expected him to say ‘i almost choked on the kosher salami (turns to camera) FROM MOSHE’S DELI ON 37th & BROOKLYN – BEST IN THE CITY, anyway, about those queers…’
