Paladino implied, without proof, that Cuomo was a straying spouse while married to Kerry Kennedy.

Buffalo bomb-thrower Carl Paladino is taking his nastiness to a new level - implying without showing evidence that rival Andrew Cuomo was a straying spouse.

Challenged later about the salacious statement, Paladino erupted in a tirade against a reporter.

The confrontation capped a day that started with Paladino warning Fox 5 TV that the already ugly race is "going to get nastier."

The "mad as hell" political newcomer dumped on Cuomo as a "despicable character."
