PICTURE THIS RACE
As SlantPoint notes, Pirro Gets Statewide Republican Leader Support. I know Pirro has had spousal baggage problems in the past and wondered how they would be handled. Leave it to Cindy Adams to have the inside scoop. Almost always, if Cindy says it, it's so. And while I'm on the subject, I hate to be catty, but if Pirro's resume wasn't enough to blow off that carpetbagger, just look at the pictures.
THE stories about Westchester DA Jeanine Pirro. Will she run, won't she run, should she run, if she runs what's she running for.
Elmira-born, wife, mother of two, earlier on track to be N.Y.'s Lt. Gov., she's a former judge, formerly one of People Magazine's 50 most beautiful, perennial talking head on TV shows, and a hot GOP name. This week's Republican hierarchy wants her to run in the coming Senate race. With Hillary Clinton so strong, it's theoretically a run-to-lose situation. The prize being their IOU for Jeanine's next run-to-win campaign.
Heads that claim to be smarter than ours say only with star-quality Jeanine can the runaway Hillary senate race be interesting. Or exciting. Or meaningful. Put up the average male yutzy candidate, wearing his plastic shoes with the gummy soles, who'll care? The theory is, two star-time ladies make it a glamorous catfight. Both have weathered husbandly baggage.
They say, Jeanine will cop lots of nationwide big-time publicity to ready her for the next run. They say, with whatever dirty stuff Hillary's camp -- never Hillary, just her "camp" -- throws out because of the domestic problems Jeanine's had, it will then be "old news" when next she runs to win.
Only telling you what I know.

A Jeanine Pirro run against PIAPS for the Senate does offer Pirro an interesting opening. Pirro can trash her husband, be honest about his difficulties, and then challenge Senator Clinton to be as equally as honest. How does PIAPS respond? I don't think the victim card works.

Color me stupid, what is PIAPS? And yes, I think Pirro would really give HC a run for her money, and perhaps garner the seat. Husband problems aside, she can run on her record...she has legitimate experience, not just being the wife of a successful politician as her calling card.

Pirro is relatively clean, but HRC isn't. HRC has skeletons in her closet yet to be revealed.
I don't think the victim card would work for HRC if she runs against woman, no matter the race. That ploy only works when she runs against a man.

I knew Pirro was the right person to run after Susan Estrich penned a column a week or two ago saying she shouldn't run...because her husband had some ties to crimes.
What a joke. I mean was she serious? What about HRC herself!!! She has been accused (thought not convicted) of having shady ties and her husband was impeached for committing several federal crimes WHILE IN OFFICE.

You can bet it's a good idea for her to run if Estrich is advising her not to. Aaron is right.

PIAPS = Pig In A Pantsuit
And, no, you're not stupid. Everyone asks that. It originated on L.com by a reader.

That's a hoot! Thanks for the translation, Kitty!

This could be the most fun to be had politically in a very, very long time! No, Hillzilla won't be able to play the "victim" card against Jeanine. Nor will the "your husband is trash" factor in since BOTH husbands are baggage to be defused! And since NOBODY has yet forced her Royal Thighness to actually ANSWER TOUGH QUESTIONS, this will be delightful because you can bank on it - Jeanine will FORCE HER TO ANSWER or look really asinine when she doesn't! No fawning leftwing media will be able to cover this one without mentioning how lame is the actual intellect of the so-called Smartest Woman in America. That worthless carpetbagging wretch won't be able to play the "woman being abused" card either! Oh my, this could be REALLY interesting.
Has it occurred to anyone that we should ALL support Jeanine since she could easily be saving the country from the prospect of another Clinton presidency? It's certainly in MY mind!
Kitty? Pat(s)? Aaron? A new website for this one?
