Puddin 'n' pie,
His lazy wife swore and made him cry.
When Doherty's friends didn't get paid,
Alfonse and he cussed and brayed.
Gee, that would-be First Lady Libby Pataki has quite a mouth on her!
(Libby - Hint: Donna Guiliani got press coverage for divorcing Rudy, not because she's prettier than you!)
From the NY Post (www.nypost.com - registration required) today on secretly taped phone calls involving, among others, Republican Governor of New York, George Pataki; his wife, Libby; former Republican New York Senator Alfonse D'Amato; and longtime Pataki political operative Thomas Doherty.
On one of the recordings, Mrs. Pataki is heard complaining to Doherty at length about having to attend too many Republican and Conservative Party events.
"I told George, 'George, it's exactly this kind of thing that pisses me off," said Mrs. Pataki.
"I said, 'George, I'm running around like an idiot. I'd rather be doing major big events and not be doing all this bulls- - - crap . . . "
"I'm not getting paid for this crap. I don't have to do a damn thing if I don't want to."
Mrs. Pataki vents her frustration that then-New York City First Lady Donna Giuliani was getting a lot of media coverage for the same type of events.
"I spent seven hours running from here to there, and there was not one sentence," Mrs. Pataki told Doherty.
"There were pictures of Donna Giuliani all over the papers. It's not that I'm not photogenic," she added.
