#3 – you caught me dead to rights, I am not a ben-torah! But I’d like to think of myself as a bas-torah, and as such, I think the midah of hakaros hatov is extremely important. By the way , I do not recall any occassion when Senator Clinton “defended” her husband’s actions. She simply “stood by her man”. Haven’t we seen, in our community, wives standing by their husbands after they are jailed for white collar crimes, or wives standing by their husbands (for the sake of their family, no doubt) when they are accused of abusing innocent children. Does that mean that they are necessarily immoral too?

I don’t know NY politics, but about RFK: there’s something fundamentally decent about him but he is really extremely to the left.

And of course gratitude is owed Hillary. When it comes to national elections, we get all up in arms about pork but face it, when it gets closer to home we like officials who take care of us. How else would you explain Ted Kennedy’s long tenure?

Nydia Velasquez would be a disaster. She has expressed support for Louis Farrakhan. People should write to Gov. Paterson urging him not to appoint Velasquez.

Well it is true that I am sorry to see my friend and confidant Hillary go onto bigger and better opportunities.

#4 – i hope that you are right. Paterson should just take it for himself. Considering that he’s black, he’d be the only black senator, now that Obama is gone, and he is blind, isn’t that a historic move?

OK, but Cuomo will get it. Anyone for RFK?

I, personally, would love to see Andrew Cuomo replace Senator Clinton and before all the Hillary bashers start with their nastiness, I will be sorry to see her go as our Senator from New York!
