| Today's New York Times asks where Sheldon Silver's gone in this age of blasts between Joe Bruno and Eliot Spitzer:
Speaker Silver, above, contented himself to lie in the weeds. Having served a dozen years as former Gov. George E. Pataki’s chief Democratic foil — and as the party’s loudest voice in the capital — Mr. Silver has spent the first few months of the year largely trying to stay out of Mr. Spitzer’s way.
I'm sure there are people who see Silver's quiet as a hearty endorsement of Spitzer's reform push, but I'm inclined to think he's letting Bruno take all the heat rather than make it clear how little he really likes reform. Or maybe I'm too cynical... |
