Hope and change we can believe

if the rumors of Paterson picking an NRA-backed two-term congresswoman from upstate New York are true. Rep. Gillibrand voted against TARP and is "less than enthusiastic about gay marriage." (This does not mean she is a blonde version of Sarah Palin.) Via The NY Post and Drudge.

Hubba-Hubba Yips! from Gary:
Easy on the eyes, though:

A damn sight better than SWMNBN.

YIPS BACK FROM LMC: Well, it looks like they waived the 150 pound rule. One site is reporting that Pelosi is not too keen on her so that is another plus from our standpoint.

And an NRA member too. Given that the governor is a Democrat, this is probably the best we could expect. Er, outside of Princess Caroline herself of course. (don't want to upset the unicorns)

Hey, go easy on the weight cracks LMC... she did just have a baby in May.

From Don Surber's blog:

"Democrats finally have a politician who knows how to wear makeup. I mean besides Johnny Edwards."

It seems odd that he would pick someone who does support the NRA to fill Clinton's seat. I'm not sure how to feel about it, but I do have some hope that Obama will have a slightly tougher time destroying the second amendment with regulations.
