On May 31, 2006, Pirro, unopposed for the GOP nomination, became the party’s official candidate for attorney general by acclamation at the GOP convention. She also held the nominations of the New York Conservative and Independence Parties. However, in the general election, Pirro lost to the Democratic nominee, former Clinton Housing and Urban Development Secretary Andrew Cuomo 58%–39%..."

George Stephanapolus and Chris Matthews should then be prohibited from reporting anything about the GOP since both worked in Democrat administrations.

And then there's this:

Quote:
Jeanine Ferris married Albert Pirro, a lobbyist, in 1975. The couple had a son and a daughter. In 2000, Pirro’s husband was convicted of federal tax evasion and conspiracy of over $1 million, which was seen as possibly hurting her legal and political career prospects. The conviction was so damning to the future of her political career that she seriously considered resigning from her position as a state D.A. and taking up a more lucrative post in the private sector. In the midst of her 2006 state attorney general campaign, Pirro revealed that she was the subject of a federal investigation into whether she illegally taped her husband’s conversations in order to catch him committing adultery. The couple announced they were separating in November 2007 and finalized their divorce in 2013.

Pirro received significant political contributions from her husband’s associates—after his release from prison—throughout her numerous unsuccessful attempts to hold higher office. These include numerous contractors and realtors who had done business with her husband on previous occasions.

Not exactly a saint either.

Who here is saying Pirro should be prohibited from giving her opinion? Oh, that's right, absolutely no one. She's free to opine as she wishes, but it's always helpful to understand when someone has a personal history with a candidate she routinely denigrates. In this case, it definitely does sound like sour grapes.

Thanks, Enigma777, for that interesting background info. It puts everything Pirro says about Clinton into a different perspective.

It does not mean what she says is untrue.

I find her weekend show to be very entertaining. Last weekend she went out to talk to some blue collar workers in NYC to see who they were voting for and it was funny as all get out.
