Jeanine Pirro, NY GOP Gov candidate paid for by the mob!
For those of you who missed the story...
Records: Pirro took mob cash
$12G linked to crime ties
NEW YORK DAILY NEWS EXCLUSIVE

By GREG B. SMITH
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER


Jeanine
Pirro declared "I have taken on the mob" when she announced her run for
U.S. Senate this week, but she could have said "I have taken from the
mob."

The Westchester District Attorney pocketed nearly $12,000
in campaign checks from firms and associates with alleged links to
organized crime, the Daily News has found.

A review of campaign
and court records shows at least six donors with ties to mob families
who've contributed to Pirro since 2003. That casts a shadow on Pirro,
who's basing her run against Sen. Hillary Clinton in part on her
reputation as a tough prosecutor.

... More here.
Numbers and documents don't lie, Jeanine. As a prosecutor, you should know that.

So take this little bit of advice: next time you're tempted to whine that Hillary's slinging mud, do yourself a favor and keep that shrill pie hole of yours shut.

MORE: Joe Conason spanks Pirro in his latest Salon Op-Ed.

I'd say Pirro needs a new campaign poster...

1. ROTFLMFAO!
Brilliant poster! Someone should send it to Hilary's folks. They'll love it!

Her campaign staff looks a little surly -- wonder why?

2. "Woke up this mornin', all the love had gone..."
Maybe that should be Pirro's campaign song -- y'know, her "Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow".

3. That poster mght be taken the wrong way...
The two guns are pointing at her head.

I can see the drudge headline:


Hillary's Dems: Threaten Death to Pirro

4. Looks more to me like Uncle Junior and Adriana are in the way
OTOH, your gut feeling about Drudge is right in line with his thinking -- and let's not forget that he was instrumental in those great stories about Bill Clinton's black love child and Sidney Blumenthal beating his wife -- both of which were outright fabrications.

He does this all the time, a photographer will take a picture of a public official through a TV camera viewfinder so the photo looks like a the person is being targeted by a sniper scope.

He posted a picture like this during the election, the headline was something like "AP: Bush Target"

6. KICK! Will Drudge declare the Pirro poster a threat... or a menace?
