Albany is hell?

You know what else is hell? Bad photoshopping.

In a New York Mag piece about Hillary Clinton, John Heileman takes up the supposed rumor that Hillary might consider running for governor of New York if Barack Obama ends up in the White House (emphasis added):

One rumor going around New York is that she'll run for governor -- an eventuality only marginally more likely than my pursuing that office. HRC cares not a whit about state government. She loves Washington, thinks of it as home, and of Albany as hell (smart gal!). Consider further that becoming governor would require taking on the incumbent, David Paterson, who has indicated no intention to be a temporary fill-in. Hillary challenging another African-American in a Democratic primary? Fat chance.

Well, hell seems a bit strong. But, come to think of it, the state budget process has always kind of struck us as resembling purgatory...

Governor Hillary?

Hillary Clinton

Can you imagine her sparring with Joe Bruno over the budget?

Newsweek's Jonathan Alter reports that there's some talk within the Democrat Party that Hillary Clinton could drop out of the presidential race to become... Governor of New York:

In the event that Paterson had to resign, the New York State Constitution calls for a gubernatorial election this November. Clinton would be the favorite in that contest if she were interested. Were a politically wounded Paterson to serve out Spitzer's term, which ends in 2010, Clinton would no doubt be a strong potential candidate to succeed him.

Who would have thought that the city of Troy could have chosen a building uglier than the one they're already in as the location of their new city hall? It's okay, actually. If the plans for the future of the current City Hall site pan out, they can put the new city hall in Cohoes for all I care.
