GOP Picks Scandal-Plauged Ex-Rep For Old Seat

May 20, 2010 1:35 PM

By Reid Wilson
The Staten Island GOP wants their old representative back, even after a scandal prematurely ended his political career and handed a seat to Dems.

The local party committee endorsed ex-Rep. Vito Fossella (R) in a meeting last night, picking the former 7-term member over ex-Bloomberg aide (R) and businessman Mike Grimm (R). Both Allegretti and Grimm are "On the Radar" Young Gun contenders.

Fossella announced he would retire in '08 rather than face voters after he was arrested for driving under the influence in May of that year. Fossella later admitted he was driving to his mistress's home in Alexandria, VA. Fossella, who is married with children, also revealed he had fathered a daughter with the mistress.

1. More like French family values . . . . .
When Mitterand died, at his funeral were his wife, his mistress, and the daughter with the mistress.

2. The difference is,
the French don't hide behind family values. They don't say - "You can't do this" and then do it themselves.

3. Couldn't they find someone who was both a milllionaire and a philanderer?
Is the pool that shallow for them?
