What a boost of confidence this must have been:

December 5, 2005 — Jeanine Pirro’s own husband is working against her in her bid for the U.S. Senate, sneaking around behind her back to lobby a state Republican leader to get her to drop out of the race, sources told The Post.

Gov. Pataki also was part of the extraordinary plot to get the Westchester County DA — whom he endorsed for the race before becoming convinced she wasn’t up to the effort — to throw in the towel and run for attorney general, not for Senate against Hillary Rodham Clinton, The Post has learned.

The stunning effort to convince Jeanine Pirro to drop out began after "Albert Pirro asked [state Senate Majority Leader Joseph] Bruno to do it," a Pataki aide said.

A source close to Bruno said Albert Pirro had actually relayed his views to Steve Boggess, secretary of the Senate and a key Bruno political aide.

Either way, Al Pirro’s move was without his wife’s knowledge, amazed sources said.

Wonder what their family dinners are gonna be like the next couple weeks.  AWKWARD!

Meanwhile, in today’s Post they have a follow up article.  It has the typical denials and revisions and blah blah blah but it also contains this memorable quote from Hillary Clinton:

"I will wait for the Republicans to sort out their own political situation," said the former first lady. "I have more than I can say grace over on my own side of the campaign ledger."

I’m sorry… what the hell?  Does anyone believe that Hillary Clinton uses such home-y, salt of the earth phrases like this?  I know Hillary has been getting an early start trying to woo centrist voters by advocating a flag burning amendment and not advocating a time table of any kind for Iraq, but give me a break!  Next thing you know she’ll be praising the lord and teaching Bible camp.

Note to Hillary, we all know you’re a left wing borderline socialist ultra-feminist-to-the-point-of-lesbianism type.  You’re not fooling anyone and you’re only pissing off the people you should be courting.  Stop playing politics… you’re husband was waaaaaay better at it than you’ll ever be.
