Where Have I Seen “Happy Carl Paladino” Before?

Over on the OTE blog, Kristi Gustafson observed that Carl Paladino’s eyes looked sad and that he needed a makeover.

The comment was in regards to the dark circles under his eyes and other physical attributes that made him look…uh…unpretty, I guess.

Anyway, This is College?! blogger & TU intern Erin Morelli did some photoshopping to see what Carl Paladino would look like if someone took him out to get his eyes, hair and nails did:

On the left is Carl Paladino. On the right is Carl Paladino with a makeover.

This blows the lid off one of the best-kept secrets in New York State politics: that Carl Paladino is, in fact, character acter Dave Madden, best known as Reuben Kincaid from “The Partridge Family.”

Hello worrrrld
There’s a soooooooong that we’re singin’…
C’MON GET HAPPYYYYYYYYY

And now, a clip from the episode of “The Patridge Family” where Danny Partridge and Michael Caputo conspire to find a wife for lonely, sad Carl:

I have no idea who the woman is, but Fred Dicker probably does.
