Only in New York could we have a gubernatorial candidate as heinous as Carl Paladino, as notorious as former Madam Kristin Davis, and as spectacular as Jimmy McMillan. Last night, Andrew Cuomo, the man who should be governor, held his own against 6 opponents, but it was Jimmy, representing the “Rent is Too Damn High Party” who commanded headlines. On the deficit: “It’s like a cancer. It will heal itself.” On gay marriage he: “feels if you want to marry a shoe, I’ll marry you.” And on negative campaigning: “As a karate expert, I will not talk about anyone up here.” Gawker has his outrageous opening 30 seconds. And, by the way, my rent is too damn high.
