Gov says Caroline turned 'nasty'
« on: January 24, 2009, 06:38:14 PM »
if the dems had been smart, they would have quietly sent an emissary to her early on to tell her to shut up, and to disappear.  this was a stupid idea from the get-go.

but watching it fester is sorta fun. :-)

GOV SAYS CAROLINE TURNED 'NASTY'

 Gov. Paterson rapped Caroline Kennedy at a private event the night before he tapped Kirsten Gillibrand for the Senate, telling guests Kennedy had been "nasty" to him and shown "disrespect" with how she bowed out, attendees told The Post.

The governor's attack came just hours after his office issued a statement wishing her well and disavowing quotes from a source close to him who had told The Post Kennedy had never been in true contention for the seat and was "mired" in personal issues.

And the gripes came a day after Kennedy pulled out of the race on the heels of hours of tit-for-tat between the two sides.

Asked at the event about what had happened with Kennedy, Paterson told the group that he was put off by how the neophyte politician handled her withdrawal from the race for Hillary Clinton's seat.

Much of the issue was "about respect," said one guest.

Paterson said that Kennedy had called him to say she was having second thoughts and "he asked her to wait a day and he thought she had agreed," another attendee recalled.

Then, he said, he couldn't get her on the phone for hours.

Seems the lady Kennedy urinated and/or defecated in the proverbial punch bowl.

Wonder if this signals the end to the Kennedys in truly prominent politics?

I guess one can always wonder and hope. Hope because Obama has given us hope to hope about hoping that we can hope, so we'll be hopefully hopeful.
