K.T.'s Private Eyes

Here's something to mull with your mid-morning coffee: would-be senator and black helicopter-spotter, K.T. McFarland, has been doing some spying of her own. According to an article in today's Newsday, McFarland has hired a detective to sniff around her main GOP rival, former Yonkers mayor John Spencer. She also coughed up $12,000 to a detective agency called Investigative Group International to snoop on her own family -- you know, just to see how they would hold up under the bright spotlight of an intense Senate race.

Perhaps, however, she would have been better served if she'd hired those private dicks to spy on herself.
