Senator Kirsten E. Gillibrand didn’t need to be reminded about the photograph that has had New York Democrats talking for weeks — the one showing a beaming former Senator Alfonse M. D’Amato looking on as she was introduced as Gov. David A. Paterson’s appointee on Jan. 23.
“Alfonse D’Amato has never influenced me,” she said. “I’ve only had about two conversations with him in my whole life. He’s not a personal friend of mine; he’s a personal friend of my dad’s.”
Ms. Gillibrand’s father is Douglas P. Rutnik, a prominent Albany lobbyist and a close friend of Mr. D’Amato’s. That’s how she got a college internship in Mr. D’Amato’s Albany office, she said,
