The unelected governor, who used to have a progressive history, has foisted a protégée of that maggot-on-democracy Al D’Amato to the US Senate. Kristen Gillibrand got her start in politics with D’Amato, who was right up there on stage with her when Paterson made the announcement. But I’m sure she started earlier than that, since her father, Douglas Rutnik, is a veteran fixer and lobbyist who’s been bleeding the taxpayers dry for decades now. He was in tight with George “It’s good to be the governor” Pataki, who ended his tenure so much wealthier then when he started. Daddy Rut now shacks up with Pataki’s brains, Zenia Mucha, a nasty piece of work whose contempt for truth -- which is, after all, the fount of democracy -- presumably does wonders for her job as Exec VP of Corporate Lying at Walt Disney. But it gets dirtier: Rutnik was the protégée of Rastus Corning, the mayor of Albany for 40 years, considered one of the most corrupt figures in state history; Rutnik’s mother-in- law was Polly Noonan, a legendary figure in the morass of Albany’s corruption, and Corning's presumed mistress.
What a pedigree! Don't let the sins of the father stain the child, you say? Why not, unless she renouces it loudly and clearly? Because if you can't hear the scumsuckers sharpening their knives in anticipation of the boodle the unelected little hack is going to steer to them, then you're deaf as well as blind.
God god, can we bring back the up-tight prig of whoremonger already?
