DioGuardi isn’t owed anything. Beating Gillibrand is what counts. That’s why these guys are such losers.

Most Republicans have been expecting both economist David Malpass…

Liz: If Malpass is an economist then Ashly Dupre is a journalist. Malpass’ undergrad degree was in physics and he has an MBA — which requires only a few economics courses. Please don’t perpetuate the myth that Malpass is an economist. He’s not.

Malpass’ resume does not show an MBA, does it?

Mike’s “owe” line has been misinterpreted. Joe got the votes of county chairs by driving all over the state and reaching out to them.

Oh, and, Yankee Clipper, your “loser” line just shows your Democrat, arrogant slip.

Oh, and, Yankee Clipper, your “loser” line just shows your Democrat, arrogant slip.

I absolutely believe that DioGuardi is the best candidate for the seat, and given enough time and resources can make a serious run for it. Malpass and Blakeman are sure losers, and of the polling that’s been floating around, DioGuardi has the edge among Republican primary contenders and, if I recall correctly, also does better against Gillibrand than the others. The GOP ought to give Mr. DioGuardi a good, close look. He has experience, a fairly solid track record, and a little bit of star power thanks to his daughter. I don’t know how you can possibly ask for a better candidate, especially considering Giuliani and Pataki want no part of state politics.

Jay townsend gettign the conservative nod was a joke. The guy has a video on his website praising RFK and Monyhan as his political idols. Schumer would be all over that. Berntsen is a national figure who’s announcement wa covered on every channel. Maragos also has alot of support down state.

Where did the poor Albanians find the $400,000 per year they pay DioGuardi as their lobbyist? Would 9/11 hve happened if it were not for DioGuardi’s support for Albanian and bosnian terrorist links?

March 8, 1984, Joseph J. DioGuardi, 43, a partner in Arthur Andersen & Co., one of the ”Big Eight” international accounting and consulting firms, will leave the firm on March 31 to enter the race for the 20th Congressional . . . ”He has distinguished himself in the areas in which he has had firmwide responsibility, namely the tax aspects of nonprofit organizations, the public sector and charitable giving,” the statement continued.

September 26, 1984 AP DioGuardi made the remarks during a candidate’s forum Sunday morning at the Jewish Community Center in White Plains. In a tape recording of the Sunday appearance, DioGuardi is heard saying, “You’ve got to look at the facts. The facts are that the minority groups in this country enjoy having children. It’s their only joy, their only hope. It gets them another check. They’re not going to have the abortions.”

May 24, 1989, WASHINGTON, D.C., PRN During his tenure in Congress, DioGuardi has championed the civil rights of the Kosovar Albanians to the highest levels of American government. Time and again, he has stated the case for Kosovar Albanian internal autonomy. DioGuardi formed the Albanian-American Civic League in Washington, D.C. in early 1989

October 4, 1992, AP Joseph J. DioGuardi, who is seeking election to a House seat he lost amid charges of campaign finance irregularities, tried to avoid paying taxes through an investment scheme designed to lose money, according to U.S. Tax Court records . . . In 1978, DioGuardi was a partner in Daga Financial Co., which bought and sold options and futures on stocks and securities, according to court papers. On their joint tax return for that year, DioGuardi and his wife reported a loss of $ 112,453 from Joseph DioGuardi’s 24.4 percent share of Daga, according to the records. So even though DioGuardi had earned more than $ 124,000 as an accountant that year, he and his wife claimed taxable income of $ 9,323, the records show. But the IRS said Daga’s 1978 losses could not be deducted because “the entire transaction lacked economic reality.” . . . In 1988, Lowey ousted DioGuardi after a report that Joseph Crabtree, the head of DioGuardi’s campaign finance committee, had funneled more than $ 50,000 in illegal contributions to the campaign through his numerous auto dealerships. Crabtree reimbursed employees for the contributions, which is illegal. Crabtree said DioGuardi masterminded the plan; the ex-congressman denied it. Crabtree eventually pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate federal election and tax laws.

Guardian March 25, 1997 anti-Mafia judges from around Italy met in Bari, the administrative centre of the southern Puglia region, to discuss the growing links between Albanian and local gangsters. There is concern that, with many Albanians also landing unchecked in isolated coves, the exodus will set back “by years” the progress made in tackling organised crime.

Deutsche Presse-Agentur April 12, 1997 Foreign troops deployed in Albania will not be restricted to shooting in self defence, Italian Defence Minister Beniamino Andreatta said Saturday in Tirana. . . Andreatta made it clear that the force – about 6,000 strong and from Italy, France, Denmark, Spain, Greece, Romania, Turkey and Austria – would remain in Albania for a maximum of six months.

Deutsche Presse-Agentur March 4, 1997 The worsening crisis in Albania jumped to the top of the European Union’s political agenda on Tuesday but officials said the bloc would wait until a meeting of E.U. political directors on March 6 before taking any joint initiatives to try and quell the unrest. “We are urging all parties, including the opposition in Albania, to restore calm and to abstain from using the situation for political gain,” an E.U. official said.

The Guardian March 25, 1997 A COALITION of European Union countries, led by Italy, is ready to despatch 3,000 troops and police to protect a huge international humanitarian mission to Albania. But the Albanian leader, Sali Berisha, said this morning that he could not guarantee the safety of humanitarian aid convoys.

IPS-Inter Press Service May 16, 1997, Friday Although both Albanian president Sali Berisha and prime minister Bashkim Fino called for the force, they did so for entirely different purposes. Originally Berisha requested it to help restore order against “the southern rebels and their threat to the north.” In contrast, Fino wanted it to restore some form of stability. Given that the armed insurgents in the north and south have only one political agenda, the removal of Berisha, the international community wisely took the most politically neutral goal available — securing humanitarian aid. . . Italy’s center-left coalition government has traditionally been very supportive of Berisha. However, as the situation deteriorated in Albania and the army began to defect from Berisha’s camp, the world community, led by the United States, called for the Albanian president to step down. By early March, even Italy, the major pro-Berisha member of the EU, had begun to distance itself from him.

Toronto Star March 4, 1997 AP Meanwhile, the legislature easily re-elected President Sali Berisha to a five-year term. “Today is the day of open dictatorship in Albania,” said Neritan Ceka, the head of the opposition Democratic Alliance. “Only a dictator could be elected under such conditions, with martial law.”
