Aides Separate New York GOP Gubernatorial Candidate, Journalist

Paladino gets in tiff with N.Y. Post editor over accusations against Cuomo

Aides had to separate New York Republican gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino from a journalist during an angry exchange Wednesday night before a speech.

New York Post State Editor Fred Dicker asked Paladino to provide proof of his claim to a Politico blog that his opponent, Democrat Andrew Cuomo, had extramarital affairs. Cuomo is divorced from Kerry Kennedy, Robert Kennedy's daughter.

Paladino said he would provide proof "at the appropriate time" and then accused Dicker of "working for Cuomo" and being a "terrible journalist," Capitaltonight.com reported.

So a guy who has a child out of wedlock is bashing another guy about an "alleged" affair?

No way in blank would I vote for someone like that.

And the press should leave the 10-year-old alone!!!!!!!!!!!!
