Fabulous Fumble of the Week, Dec. 26 - Jeanine Pirro
I don't think there was anyone else who screwed up their career more than Jeanine F. Pirro, the longtime Westchester County district attorney. A rising star in the NY Republican Party, many thought she had an almost unlimited future. However her actions over the past couple of months and last week specifically, left that promising future in doubt. Jeanine Pirro was intent on challenging Sen. Clinton in next year's election. Republicans in the state wanted her to run for Attorney General, a seat they felt she could win. They did not think she could beat Senator Clinton. The Party leadership was not anxious to spend political capital and large amounts of cash on an unwinnable seat. They also wanted to position Pirro for a better position in the future. I believe they reasoned that a losing Senate campaign would hurt her and them more than help. I also believe that Ms. Pirro's ambitions were getting the better of her, in that she was determined to go after the higher profile position now rather than wait for a more opportune moment.
Her actions antagonized many within the Republican Party. They didn't like her blatant ambition at the expense of party plans. Many now see her as being disingenuous and an opportunist now that she acceded to leadership demands. What position does she really want? Why vote for her as AG if it was something she wants only because of outside pressure? Her waffling and questionable actions earns her this weeks Fabulous Fumble Award.
