News Roundup for 10/13/10

NY GOP gubernatorial hopeful Carl Paladino

-Headline of the Day-
"Report: NY's Paladino once rented to gay clubs."

New York Republican gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino hates him some gays. Grrrr!! He's got to, because he's a teabagger and them's the rules -- he didn't make them up. So he gave a speech to a bunch of wingnut Rabbis about how much he hated gays and how awful they are and how they're wrecking everything by washing kids brains. The speech was written for him by one of the Rabbis, but that doesn't make any difference -- he's a teabagger and them's the rules.

Except, the whole thing didn't go over very well, so Carl backpedaled and said he's cool with the gays. That whole speech thing was just a... you see, what he meant was... OK, so those Rabbis had some money he really wanted them to donate to his campaign.

So now he's outta luck. The head wingnut Rabbi has pulled his support from Paladino, because it's clear he doesn't hate the gays as much as he ought to -- he's a teabagger and them's the rules.

And now things get even worse. It seems that Paladino not only likes the gays, but actually provided them space to do gay stuff like dance with each other to music with oontz-oontz beats. According to the report, Carl "once collected rent from two gay clubs located in buildings he owned in downtown Buffalo." Worse, one of the clubs "was run by Paladino's son, William." I'll bet Carl and William never even tried to pray all that gay away. Shame on them -- they're teabaggers and them's the rules. (Associated Press)
