Does a public apology absolve Carl Paladino of the flap of the past week and allow him to move on ? Maybe, but the ruling class in Albany that wants him defeated also includes many in the permanent press corps.
A fellow like Fred Dicker is more entrenched than any state senator and really does function as a force for stasis in government.
I am wary of a an apology speech. It looks a little weak.
A call to Mr. Cuomo would be a stand up move....and an appearance on Dicker's radio show would be the kind of in your face, I am not afraid move that could work, if Mr. Paladino can keep his message focused on that new 4% clothing tax parents are paying this week to keep their kids clothed. (Even Patty Plate has a new spot exploiting the clothing tax)
Fred Dicker , like Speaker Silver will be in Albany come January and Wild Carl has to prove he can deal with heat from those quarters without imploding.
GOP bigs want loudmouth Carl Paladino to say sorry to Andrew Cuomo over adultery zinger

I think apologizing looks weak. Maybe repeat a lie often enough and it becomes truth instead.
I think you are right that he should be talking about the state problems of too much spending and taxing. He is no christie but he could try to copy the message and it would hit home.
But I would take another example besides the clothing tax. I thought we always had sales tax on clothes until the last ten years or so. I was in Sam's club this week and saw quality blue jeans for 12 dollars. I think my parents paid 17 dollars back in the 70's when min wage was two bucks. People have it so good today and don't know it...even if they are "poor".
I apologize. I'm off my thorazine and I'm mad as hell.
Stone and Caputo should just cash their paychecks...the loonie is in charge of the asylum. But Doheny has cajones???How about poor judgement.
How come we worry so much about tweeking Carl's message? Liz and Jeff seemed to be very concerned with that ...
Well I'll never change and I'm proud of it. Mayor in our first conversation together back around the end of last year I said, To quote Huey Long, "If anyone wants to know our platform, tell them, we're going to 'Soak' the Rich and spread it around thin. That's our platform."
