I just couldn’t not share this story from Talking Points Memo about Carl Paladino, the Tea Party candidate for Governor of New York… Here’s a clip:
An online news outlet in New York state has obtained dozens of emails, many of them racist and sexually graphic, which it reports were sent by Carl Paladino, the Tea-Party-backed Republican candidate for governor of New York, to a long list of political and business associates. One email shows a video of an African tribal dance, entitled “Obama Inauguration Rehearsal,” while another depicts hardcore bestiality.
Paladino’s campaign manager, Michael Caputo, would not comment on specific emails, but acknowledged to TPMmuckraker that Paladino had sent emails that were “off-color” and “politically incorrect,” saying that few such emails represented the candidate’s own opinion. Caputo accused Democrats of wanting to change the subject from substantive issues to “having sex with horses.”
The news outlet that obtained the emails, WNYmedia.net, a western New York media company, says it confirmed that at least some of the emails were authentic by contacting several people who had received them….
And, with that, I ask you, is it any surprise that Scott Brown is now trying like hell to distance himself from the Tea Party?

You can see Paladino’s emails here.
In his defense, a lot of racist, horse-fucking humor is damn funny.
I for one think it’s great that this guy is open enough to share a video of his wife schtupping a horse with his supporters. That’s the kind of transparency we need in government.
In the Tea Party, we call that a Freedom Fuck.
But really mean Free Dumb Fuck?
I never thought I’d hear you say that, Oliva. Do you reckon it’s a side effect of motherhood?
And I love the idea that the video is of Paladino’s wife enjoying a good, patriotic, barnyard Freedom Fuck.
Thank you.
Ummm . . . definitely. The young master of the household has done wore me out, what with the superdynamic approach to life, amen. (And has learned some words, especially “car.” Or more like: “CCCCCCCar! CCCCCCar!” Repeat thirteen times, with joy.)
Respect to every parent now and forever, minus Cheneys of course and some others.
Don’t knock it till you tried it.
