Paladino don't like gays but he loves gay money and other Wednesday midday news briefs

Being out sick on a day when all sorts of interesting things happen is not my idea of fun. Oh well, you have heard all of the good stuff (i.e. DADT, Florida and gay adoption) so here is some new stuff:

The only thing is that he got caught big time by Box Turtle Bulletin and the commentators under his piece.
