Attorney General candidates Jeanine Pirro and Andrew Cuomo delivered a crazy, mean-spirited exchange in their first debate. And if it weren't so sad that these are our candidates, it would be funny.

This morning, WNBC aired Gabe Pressman's one-on-oe with Jeanine Pirro, which was taped on Friday. Pirro appears very composed and pissed off, and she continues to talk about herself as a "fighter" and how the investigation was leaked and demands its own investigation. If you really hadn't watch Jeanine Pirro before now, you would now know she's a smooth operator - very genial and competent, when properly prepared (versus getting flummoxed during a speech......
