Carl Paladino: The clock is ticking on his 15 minutes

Buffalo businessman Carl Paladino is stating his case for Governor. Personally, I don't think he really has much chance against Andrew Cuomo, but this ad, uploaded by PaladinoforthePeople to YouTube, offers some insight:

 

Sam Wilson, over at the Think 3 Institute, questions why Paladino feels he's getting some heat from the Tea Party, when he supposedly embraced them mere weeks earlier. Chalk it up to a first-time politician feeling the heat, period. Paladino knows he's fighting a losing battle, and exactly two months from now, reality is going to set in. Despite the scandals that have derailed Eliot Spitzer and David Paterson, some New Yorkers aren't quite ready to put a Republican in the Governor's Mansion just yet. Seems George Pataki did a little too much for his downstate brethren for the upstaters' liking. At least, that's the view from where I sit. Enjoy your 15:00 of fame, Carl Paladino. After November 2, they're going to ask you about another Buffalo native who ran for Governor and failed. You might know him. Fella named Tom Golisano.

Hobby, my point was that Paladino doesn't even know what he's saying. He clearly meant to say that liberal elites were attacking him the way they attack "many in the Tea Party," but his grabled grammar creates a different impression.

In other words, Sam, his double talk is getting him in trouble. Speaking of garbled grammar, you might want to consider yours. "Grabled"? Surely you jest!
