None of this really matters anyway. In every poll, Paladino has yet to break 15% of the vote. Even against hypothetical candidates who aren’t officially running yet.
Latest news is that everybody, but everybody, is running away from him as if he had radiioactive leprosy. Ah, taste the sweetness of Destiny!
Except, of course, for the Buffalo Herd who can’t seem to give up.
Looks like Lorigo got the horse porn e-mail.
BTW, since it’s gotten so much interest here, here’s a link to a censored version of the horse-porn email. NSFW, stupid! Unfortunately, it looks like a big black oval has joined in with the lady and the horse, and two black bars are covering Miss France’s jibblies. But the thought counts.
Now some of you may be wondering: “Who is this Carl Paladino, anyway, and why did he think he could be elected governor?” Well, Mr. Paladino runs a lot of the land development in these here parts, mister, and like most land developers he has a lot of contracts with the state government. (Perfect guy to rail about the evils of state government expenditures, no?) Well, funny thing about that now:
Land developers? Moral? Surely you jest.
“Mommy, what is that horse doing to that lady?” “Well, in Paladino Land, horse rides YOU!”
Naturally, Paladino’s cronies are laying the blame right were it belongs: with someone else.
Paladino, you horse fucker.
More updates as they warrant. This is the most fun political story to come out of Buffalo since…well, probably last week, but still massive fun.
I was gonna give him the benefit of the doubt, but he has government contracts? Now that’s horse of a different color.
Horse of a different color? It’s interracial horse porn?
The mane thing is that he was able to rein in the damage and saddle the media with the blame. But oater be a bit more careful next time before he portrays the prez and others as pimps and horse.
Link to HorsePorn? (it’s supposed to be capitalized). O.K. here’s one.
Now, I know what everybody in this thread is thinking. You look at the above link, and you know it’s a link to HorsePorn (I suggest thumbnail 7B - it’s got midgets). But you want to click on it anyway, don’t you? The curiosity is just eating at you. Maybe you are “bestiality curious” . Even though it disgusts you there is a part in all of us that wants to click on the link to HorsePorn.
But what does that say about you?
I say embrace it. We are sexual beings made in God’s own image, and He gave us dominion over the animals (thumbnail 12C - the one with the pony in latex).
Not for long, anyway.
Gave Adam dominion over Eve, too. Yeah, right. That’ll work.
Why should this sort of thing hurt poor Carl?.
Based on recent gubernatorial precedent for sleazy behavior (Eliot Spitzer, David Paterson) this guy is practically a tower of moral righteousness. :dubious:
Stop–I am holding my sides and hurting, I am laughing so hard!
What happens if he changes horses in midstream?
I am much more disturbed by the racism. Well, then again, it’s horse porn. But the racism is so awful… but the horse porn is just so odd… but the racism, but the porn.
Ok, I’m offended by all of it. But it makes for great entertainment on a message board.
And one more thing: if forwarding this kind of shit doesn’t mean “he’s a bad person”, what DOES mean he is a bad person?
That’s one of the lamest tu quoque attempts I’ve seen in a while. All those guys did was cheat on their wives. This guy is a straight up racist. There’s no comparison. The horse porn doesn’t even matter. The racist crap goes well beyond anything those other guys did.
I’m just glad he only doctored photos of Obama and Michelle to look like pimp and ho, and didn’t doctor the horse to look like Obama.
'Cause you know that’s how rumors get started.
But then again, it would make the pimp photos that much more appropriate.
Of course Spitzer lost his job over it. The response must mean if Eliot lost his job ,Then this guy has to. No debate is possible.
I don’t think I have ever forwarded an e-mail in my life, even the ones that do NOT contain horse porn.
Horses can’t be circumsized – they don’t really have a foreskin.
The penis in equines is internal, only being extended from inside the body for urination or sexual activity. So there is no need for a foreskin. Or you could consider the sheath that contains the penis as a foreskin, but it isn’t really feasible to circumsize that.
Maybe they just need to find the right hypothetical candidate.
Paladino Aide: “We have good news and bad news. The good news is that in our latest poll, you finally broke 50%. The bad news is we have yet to convince Charles Manson to run against you.”
Just like a candidate cheating on his wife isn’t enough to lose yours. Like I said recently, you’ve made a big deal out of saying that one’s private life should not affect one’s public life.
And to preempt this a bit:
Counterargument: But he could enact racist policies.
Response: And the cheater, who finds it okay to lie to his wife can lie once he’s in office.
It’s all a matter of character, and realizing that you don’t want someone of a certain type of character representing you in government.
And if this guy had racial prejudices that he was actually striving to keep private and not taint his public persona with them, you’d have a point here. But instead he voluntarily shoots his HEE HAW LOOKIT THE FUNNY DARKIES spamwank to all his friends and associates. No, Paladino doesn’t get a “candidate’s private life is irrelevant” pass on this one.
If he forwarded horse porn AND raised taxes.
