NY Post: Gillibrand Shellshocked over Growing Opposition to Her

[SuperTrouper]

US SEN. Kirsten Gillibrand is nervously telling friends that Gov. Paterson's sharp drop in popularity may lead to her defeat in next year's all-but-certain Democratic primary.

Party insiders who have had recent contact with Gillibrand, a former Albany-area congresswoman who has had to backtrack on her past pro-gun and anti-illegal-immigration positions since being named to her post by Paterson, said she appeared nervous, frightened and even shell-shocked over the growing opposition to her.

1. you realize that the NYPost is excrement wrapped in garbage?

4. "Why do Americans hate news garbage? Smirk." - Faux News

"Garbage serves the Homeland."

2. She doesn't seem to be the type person who is easily shellshocked,

no matter what Rupert Murdoch says.

6. That's exactly the point. The NY Post (barf alert) says: She is Shellshocked

but I think that if Paterson goes down in flames, he will likely take her down with him...

3. Cuomo will defeat Paterson

Paterson did not come across very well in this whole debacle, and he pissed off Cuomo even more. Cuomo will be the next NY governor.

5. Could you rephrase this story in the form of a cartoon?

7. Fuck the New York Post.

I take this as evidence that the Republicans know they don't stand a prayer in this race unless they can paint somebody as being a New York City gun-grabber.

8. Why would anyone bring the New York Post's garbage in here?

It's like breathlessly reporting that Fox News suggests Dems are in trouble.

9. I hate the NY Post, but unfortunately, I think there is some truth to that...

She has not had a good start and Patterson is coming out of this looking terrible. I think her appointment was a big mistake.

10. Well, gee, Kirsten, you're the bluest of the blue dogs--what the hell did you expect?
