A.B. Stoddard answers viewer questions about the appointment of Rep. Kirsten Gillibrand to the New York Senate seat, and why Timothy Geithner's tax problems aren't keeping him from confirmation.
I agree with AB, Caroline Kennedy wasnt the best possible candidate. That said, Governor Patterson in his botching of the process to select a replacement for Senator Hillary Clinton has shown us one thing about himself for sure. Governor Patterson is not ready for prime time!!!!!
Gillibrand is the worst kind of gun nut- voting to make the importation of polar bear skin "trophies" legal, and to open up all public lands to hunting and trapping. She wants a national holiday for hunting & fishing.
Her selection also insures that her house seat will be re-won by the GOP in the next election.

Gillibrand is a anti-ecology, anti-environmental whackjob.
And Paterson shows his chronic incompetence by choosing her.
She won her seat in a GOP district because the GOP incumbent's wife called 911 over domestic abuse and it went public.
By shifting Gillibrand to the senate, her House seat will likely be retaken by the GOP in the next election.
