Oh, New York, you sure know how to pick 'em. Ain't nobody got time for that.
Looting lawmaker Shirley Huntley loaded up on fancy clothes and spa treatments and that was just for her pet poodle.
The former state senator, who admitted stealing taxpayer cash for shopping sprees, took along her BFF, Assemblywoman Vivian Cook, to go bargain hunting at the Tanger Outlets mall in Riverhead, LI, a source said.
The duo would use half a tank of gas to get to the mall, home to upscale outlets including Barneys, Saks Fifth Avenue and Coach.
The ladies also favored Lord & Taylor, and Huntley wasnt just buying for herself she made sure her white poodle was well dressed, the source said.
Huntley, 74, also loved fancy champagne and expensive cigarettes, the source said.
Huntley, who left office at the end of last year after losing a primary battle, pleaded guilty earlier this month to a federal charge in connection with embezzling $87,700 in taxpayer money from a nonprofit founded by her daughter.
