Via All Over Albany, I came across this New Republic article describing former New York State Lieutenant Governor, healthcare industry spokeschick, and poster girl for Advanced Dick Deprivation Betsy McCaughey as “the blue state Sarah Palin.” Oh really? Let’s make a visual comparison:

Uh, no.

As a long-time blue state resident, allow me to make an alternate suggestion – junior New York Senator and Capital Region hometown girl Kirsten Gillibrand:

My senator is hotter then your senator.

She’s as big a whore as McCaughey, but she’s as smoking as Caribou Barbie. I heart NY.
