Well, you know $120,000,000 isn't as much money as it used to be.

I heard on the news this morning that the Gov. of NY will be appointing Ms. Guillibrand (spelling) to fill Hilary Clinton's seat. They also mentioned that she was the 41 year old mother of three small children.

So I ask...where are the concerned and righteous in the journalistic "profession" loudly asking the question if she is an unfit mother for spending so much time away from those little kids. As I recall, Sarah Palin was 'no good" for that very reason. I guess democrat women are much better at juggling family and career.

Except the liberal Dumbo's ain't all that happy with Ms. Gillbrand. Seems she's rather on the conservative side, ain't from NYC, and is backed by the NRA. Give them a second, they'll trot out the ol' "unfit" mom libel.

You know, Patterson is blind but I would have thought he could have seen this one . . . .    8)
