Yes, misread, of course...But Henry Hyde is a nice guy!...And every day closer to the end of the lynching, is one day closer to Monica and Barbara talk memories... Meanwhile, slightly off topic, GWB is being descended upon by Iowans (!) and New York is cannibalizing its own. Washington Post article below: From today's Washington Post. Key Republican moves to snub Pataki MARC HUMBERT Associated Press A prominent New York Republican said Monday that he would support Texas Gov. George W. Bush if he ran for the White House in 2000. Former U.S. Rep. Guy Molinari warned that Gov. George Pataki was hurting his chances of being on the presidential ticket by warring with a fellow Republican, New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani. "If there's a battle royal taking place in New York, that's got to hurt George Pataki in his quest to get on the national ticket,'' Molinari said. He is the Staten Island borough president and father of former U.S. Rep. Susan Molinari. Molinari said he would be joining with about four dozen other Republicans in Washington today -- including U.S. Rep. Vito Fossella of Staten Island and retired House Rules Committee Chairman Gerald Solomon of Queensbury -- to urge Bush to enter the presidential race. Pataki and Giuliani have clashed on several issues, such as how the city school system is run and how much state aid the city receives. The mayor is considering running for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated next year by Democrat Daniel P. Moynihan. There has been speculation that Pataki is trying to block Giuliani's potential Senate bid. The governor denies that. "Clearly, if he (Pataki) has any opportunity, it would be as vice president. Having Rudy Giuliani run for the U.S. Senate can only enhance the possibility of George Pataki winding up as the vice presidential candidate . . . Pataki should be recruiting him,'' Molinari said. The New York Post reported Monday that some Republicans are seeking the ouster of Zenia Mucha, a top Pataki aide, claiming that she has become too powerful and is hurting their political efforts. "There's a high frustration level building,'' one top New York Republican source said. The Post quoted sources saying they felt Mucha was behind what they see as an attempt to block a Senate run next year by Giuliani. Mucha has denied this, and on Monday called the allegations in the Post story "scurrilous.'' Pataki called her "a tremendous asset not just to this administration, but to the state.'' Mucha is a one-time top aide to former Sen. Alfonse M. D'Amato. D'Amato, who was defeated by Democrat Charles Schumer, has not ruled out running for the Moynihan seat.
