Former Lieutenant Governor Betsy McCaughey got along so badly with Governor Pataki in the last two years she served in his administration that they weren't even on speaking terms, and she became a democrat in order to run against him. What's worse, she now says, the lieutenant governor's job description is pretty much nothing, but costs taxpayers as much as $750,000 every year. Also: there hasn't been a suicide bombing in Israel in six weeks--definitive proof that Israeli doves are wrong? Plus: the Yemenite community of western New York, and Michael Meyers, former New York Civil Liberties Union Board member.
