There he goes again.
Carl P. Paladino, the Republican candidate for governor, promised he would be politically incorrect.
He wasn’t kidding. On Thursday, during a rally in Hicksville, N.Y., he called the state’s junior United States senator, Kirsten E. Gillibrand, “Schumer’s little girl.”
It was an apparent reference to Ms. Gillibrand’s close relationship with Senator Charles E. Schumer, but Mr. Paladino’s dismissive description of the only woman to hold statewide elected office in New York jolted the political world. His comments were reported on the Web site of Newsday and by NY1.
Mr. Paladino, a businessman from Buffalo, has previously landed in hot water for calling gay-pride parades “disgusting” and for forwarding racist emails to his friends.
His comments came as Mr. Paladino was campaigning for Ms. Gillibrand’s Republican opponent, Joseph DioGuardi. “It’s time to get some real representation in the New York delegation,” Mr. Paladino said on Thursday, “and you know Joe’s going to do that.”
A spokesman for Ms. Gillibrand declined to comment. MICHAEL BARBARO
Aiming at Virginia Guns
The last time Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg inserted himself into Virginia politics, he got branded a mobster. That hasn’t stopped him from getting involved again.
A year after Mr. Bloomberg, an independent, got into a spat over gun control with Bob McDonnell in Mr. McDonnell’s bid to become governor, Mr. Bloomberg’s nonprofit group, Americans United for Safe Streets, has produced an advertisement attacking another Virginia Republican. This time, the object of ire is Keith S. Fimian, who is challenging Rep. Gerald E. Connolly, a Democrat, in Northern Virginia, in a close race.
The ad is part of a push to press candidates or elected officials who have voiced opposition to or reluctance over closing a loophole allowing some vendors at gun shows to sell firearms without conducting instant background...

Here's a clue, dweebs: He's not calling her a little girl out of misogyny, he's calling her that because she's Chuck U. Schumer's lackey. If she was a man and acted the same way the phrase would be "Schumer's little boy."
You are right. What’s more, it is actually a feminist comment on Paladino’s part, since women are supposed to act like women and not like little girls.
While Kirsten Gilliband’s opponent Joe DioGuardi supports hunting, he knows that the 2nd amendment is not ONLY about hunting. From his website:
“2nd Amendment
The Second Amendment clearly protects an individual’s right to “keep and bear arms,” and as such, grants law-abiding citizens the right of gun ownership. In upholding the Second Amendment, we preserve the inalienable right to self-defense as well as protect the numerous hunting traditions so many New Yorkers enjoy.
I will always defend the Constitution and make certain that the commonsense provisions enshrined by the words of our Founding Fathers are diligently and properly upheld in the U.S. Senate”

DioGuardi gets it!
Do your family/friends/neighbors feel the same as you do about Paladino?
Paladino should do well with my family and friends. I don’t know about my neighbors, we only wave to each other. Not much talking as we don’t live close. I live in a WNY suburb and there are a lot of Paladino signs and I’d say he has a lot of support around this town.
Great ‘on the ground’ news report. Thanks.
Go PALADINO!
Thanks for the ping!
I’m going to have to throw the flag, she’s actually Harry Reid’s hot Senator!
I’m going to have to throw the flag on Carl, she’s actually Harry Reid’s hottest Member!!
I LOVE IT!! GOOD JOB CARL!!
dont even waste your time- it does not matter in the grand scheme- Carl received some admittedly racist jokes in the email and forwarded them to some so-called ‘friends’. He admitted it and apologized. I mean it’s not like he raped a campaign supporter or anything (that would be Bill Clinton) or caused the $800 billion dollar housing melt down (andrew Cuomo)
I dont even want to bring up that issue again when ANDREW CUOMO is getting away with hiding his involvement at HUD, with 3 days left in this election
Please email these video links to everyone you know! This video has to go viral this weekend.
THIS IS ANDREW CUOMO IGNITING THE HOUSING MELT DOWN!!!
The media is ignoring it while they search to see if Carl Paladino’s dog has a license (100% not joking about that)

He is dead on correct. And she and UpChuck know it.
Should have called her a ‘whore’ or a ‘bitch’. Liberals have said those words are OK.
Yeah, same here ~ 1600s but not Dutch at all, well, some of ‘em were probably there in the 1300s in fact (presuming the ones from the 1600s had brides) ~ they started leaving in 1700s ~ you had your chance eh.
Bump!
Gillie’s gone on a diet..dropped a lot..looks really good..gotta give her credit..
I can see why Paladino and DioGuardi support each other - both are pro-LIFE! and both are fiscal conservatives.
