Yes, I quoted the wrong timeline - the timeline quoted by Susan. She was 44 when she was elected to office.
Guess that you need to take Susan to task also!
Talk about a lack of grasp if facts - Wall Street IS the private sector - it sure as heck isn't the "public" (ie- government) sector!
All politicians exaggerate to some degree - just witness our current President :
"Successful Community Organizer" - a very unsuccessful one, actually.
"Law Professor" - not hardly - he was a guest lecturer.
"Most transparent administration ever" - yea, if you count the transparency of his motives, 'cause his administration certainly is not "transparent" in the manner that he said he would be.
If you and others want to continue to make hay with statements from people on the Right, you better start applying the same sort of scrutiny to those on the Left if you really want to have any validity as a commentator.

@Junior
What's pathetic is your grasp of facts. Corwin was born in 64 making her 47. Read the BuffaloNews story, her Assembly website bio, and her campaign site bio. She doesn't claim 36 years of "business experience" she claims 36 years of private sector business experience. Yet throwing out her Wall Street years like they were some psychedelic induced phase....
No matter how you cut it...her bio is fraudulent at best and an absolute lie at worse.

Corwin's family sold the Talking Phone Book in 2004. That means her "36 years" of job-creating wonderment had to take place during the 36 years leading up to 2004. (Like prior NY-26 rep Chris Lee, Corwin has been on millionaire's unemployment since her family sold out to Hearst for many millions and cashed out the family business).
Corwin was born in 1964. 2004 - 36 = 1968.
That means Corwin was creating jobs at the age of 4.

Especially on those who desire to get a dig in at the opposite side, regardless of what the facts are.
Like Susan Milligan does on a regular basis.
Let's see......
Corwin started working as a child in her family's business, possibly at or around the age of 8. She continued in that business up to her current age - 44.
44 - 8 = 36
Sounds like she is telling the truth about being in business for 36 years, even if you want to discount the somewhat loose definition she is using for "being in business".
Pretty pathetic, Susan.
