Complications

It turns out that Carl Paladino has an adviser. The adviser is pictured above at the Gay Pride Parade that Palidino said was unfit for Cuomo's children. Probably. And just so it is clear. He is the person getting his ear licked.

His name is Roger Stone and he has a few things to say about a few things.

Stone has been an adviser to Carl Paladino’s campaign efforts, and Paladino said Monday that the parade is “disgusting.” Tuesday evening, as he apologized for remarks that offended many gay leaders, Paladino said he still believed it was bad judgment for Democratic candidate Andrew Cuomo to attend the parade with his daughters.

Paladino did not attend the parade.

UPDATE: Stone wrote to point out why he was marching — he says he worked on the same-sex marriage bill and helped Sen. Joe Bruno draft a statement urging his former Republican colleagues in the chamber to vote yes.

He also has written on his website in favor of same-sex marriage, and told the Daily Beast that he rejected Paladino’s remarks.

Yeah I marched with KRISTIN DAVIS in the Gay Pride Parade. Proud of it,” he wrote. “I’m a libertarian Republican. I support Marriage Equality.”

There is a nice picture of Kristin marching at Libertarian Republican. Along with the lady who had Roger's ear in the above picture. Needless to say you can guess where I got the idea for this post.

Kristin is also running for Governor of New York.
