...Al Pirro, who did not appear during wife Jeanine Pirro's concession speech for the NY State Attorney General race. Pirro, who had 40% of the vote to Andrew Cuomo's 57%, gave her speech to a crowd of 100 supporters in Manhattan. The Empire Zone says that her spokesman did not ask her why Al was not there. Huh, we guess even her staff knows some topics are off limits.
The Post suspects this is the end of Pirro's political career. Given the challenges she's faced with her own family (mainly Al), her concession speech was notable: "New Yorkers are like a family. There may be differences. There may be disputes. But we can never allow our families to be destroyed."
