| This is nice:
Gov. Spitzer drew GOP fire last week when he told Assembly Minority Leader James Tedisco, "I'm a [expletive] steamroller, and I'll roll over you." Appearing at a fund-raiser for State Senate candidate Craig Johnson, Spitzer quipped, "It's amazing how quoting a little James Taylor can get you in trouble. [Taylor's 'Steamroller Blues'] is such nice, placid music." The Albany Project event raised $60,000. |
| I actually thought that the blograiser raised $100,000, but I would welcome a correction on that.
Anyway, I thought would say how proud I am to be associated with the people running this blog. These guys are in it to do some real good -- to reform a State government that is dysfunctional and has lost touch with the people. And they're doing it using the netroots -- a vehicle that harnesses "people power." Yesterday's victory in the special election shows how powerful these netroots efforts can be when they're recognized and supported by people like Dave Pollak, the Co-chair of the New York State Democratic party.
Take a bow, Lipris, NYBri, and AM. You deserve it. |
