Al Pirro: The Gift That Keeps On Giving

Al Pirro clearly has arrived. For a long time now he has been a living punchline for late-night comedy writers, but just when he screws up in some new and zany way and makes us laugh so hard our sides start to ache, HE DOES IT AGAIN!
He keeps giving us fresh material to work with. Alleged mob ties, out-of-wedlock children, tax evasion—holy matrimony! Stop it Al, you’re killing us! You are the undisputed “clown prince” of poliitical spouses.
A day after Al’s wife, Jeanine, the former Westchester DA, gets the ball rolling on her campaign for attorney general, Lead-Foot Al stepped on the gas of his Mercedes Benz and got nabbed in a White Plains school zone. It was the second time this summer he was charged with speeding. He must be in competition with DMX for worst driver of the year.
But here’s the best part. The New York Times quoted an anonymous source in the Pirro campaign, who said Al complained that his shiny black car was deliberately singled out by the cops. In other words, everybody’s doing it…but only Al is getting persecuted.
Now we’ve heard everything. There’s DWI for Driving While Intoxicated. There’s the racial profiling of DWB—Drving While Black. Add DWP. That stands for Driving While Pirro!
Jeanine must be hitting Al with a frying pan. Word has it that some of his old pals have turned their backs on him, And Gov. George Pataki can’t help him anymore.
Maybe Andy Cuomo has an opening. Al can be chairman of Cuomo’s Dirty Tricks Committee.












It’s small wonder that Jeanine Pirro is a Republican, since that party’s sole reason for existence is to provide tax breaks to the wealthy and Big Business (“All the rest,” as it says in the Talmud, “is commentary”).
As such, the Pirros stand to benefit handsomely from the Republicans’ long dreamt-of elmination of all taxation since, in such a Utopian society, Al Pirro would never again have to fear indictment for tax-evasion.
