Pirro Campaign Denies Intentional Stupidity

October 23, 2005: Campaign officials for Hillary Clinton attacked Jeanine F. Pirro for intentionally committing ridiculous campaign errors in hopes of getting free publicity in her bid to unseat Senator Clinton.
“We’ve seen this all before, when Rick Lazio intentionally took a dive and damaged his face in the hope of getting a sympathy vote,” said Howard Wolfson, a Clinton adviser, referring to Senator Clinton’s Republican adversary in the 2000 race. “Republican candidates have a long history of performing stupid dog tricks, dating from the days when Gerald R. Ford would stumble and fall to get attention to the present Bush strategy of falling off his bicycle.
“If Ms. Pirro thinks that making a fool of herself every day in time for the six o’clock news will distract the public from Senator Clinton’s serious efforts on behalf of the interests of New Yorkers, then she is seriously mistaken.”
Brian Donahue, Ms. Pirro’s campaign manager denied that her organization has enlisted comedian Jackie Mason to shape her campaign strategy. “We have been in preliminary discussions with Beavis and Butthead, but that’s as far as it has gone.”
