Now Sweeney will have to go back to being a pole watcher.

ALBANY - A retired state trooper and former strip club owner has emerged as the highest-paid campaign aide to U.S. Rep. John Sweeney, viewed by state Republican leaders as a rising star in the national GOP party.

It’s not often that a political reporter gets to write a sentence like: “The issue of strip clubs has become a focal point in such-and-such congressional race.”

Democratic 20th CD candidate Kirsten Gillibrand sent U.S. Sen. John Sweeney, R-Clifton Park, a letter today calling on him to oppose a new strip club in the city of Hudson and return some $2,350 in campaign contributions he has received from the owner of a different club, Salvatore DiCarlo.

So relieved he isn't going to be our embarassment any longer.
