Ex-state Sen. Shirley Huntley has no regrets about turning the family room of her Queens home into a sound stage for the feds to secretly record elected officials and document Albany’s “mess.”

Huntley said she agreed to become an informant — spying on pols using James Bond-like gadgets like a video camera hidden in a water bottle — to protect her family from being prosecuted along with her. And to those who condemn her betrayal, she offers a middle finger.

“I could care less what the politicians think about me,” Huntley, 74, told the Daily News in an exclusive interview. “They know what I say is true because they live it every day. Albany is a mess. It’s all about money and power. I don’t think most of them give a tinker’s damn about their constituents.”

Huntley is scheduled to surrender July 19 at a still-undetermined federal prison camp to serve one year and one day for stealing $88,000 from a nonprofit group she controlled. She agreed to the interview so she could set the record straight about when she was cooperating with the government last summer.

“I sleep very well. I can survive it (prison),” Huntley said. “The only thing I’ll be missing is my brandy and my cigarettes.”
