Hey Kirsten! Wanna Buy a Senate Seat in NY? See Your Uncle Al
AND THEY THOUGHT BLAGO WAS BAD

See this article about the Paterson-Gillibrand-D’Amato connection which reports that Al D’Amato gave Paterson a stunning $500k at a holiday party last year during the heat of the senate seat competition. (And details another half million or so raised by D'Amato for Paterson in the preceeding weeks!)

That’s well over a million dollars, certainly enough money to buy D’Amato prime placement in the front row of Paterson’s press conference announcing D'Amato's longtime BFF Kirsten Gillibrand as his senate pick…and perhaps it bought um….other things as well. (cough)

This investigative report unravels the fascinating relationship between Gillibrand and D’Amato (it’s all in the family, baby!), how the two came to be so strangely close to Governor Paterson, and tells the REAL REASON why Caroline Kennedy didn't get Hillary Clinton's former senate seat...the cash she wouldn't pony, Macaroni!

PLEASE K&R THIS STORY THE MSM DOES'NT WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT!

1. You Say Tomato, I Say D'Amato

DU discussion on this pay-to-play scheme here:

And here:

Just wondering...what's with the DEMOCRATIC Governor of NYS accepting all this money from REPUBLICANS?

And WHY did Paterson hire a FORMER BUSH WHITE HOUSE STAFFER-turned-PR flack to trash Caroline Kennedy's reputation?
