| Hat tip to Liz Benjamin for this catch. While Democrats lead by Senator Sampson continue to defend Espada from critism, Espada is raising money for the re-election campaign of GOP Senator George Maziarz.
Yes, that's right, the "Democratic Majority Leader" of the New York State Senate is raising money for the opposition leader. And he's doing it with Dean Skelos.
The event, which is being held at The Penn Club, features two "special guests" - Senate Minority Leader Dean Skelos and Senate Majority Leader Pedro Espada Jr.
Maziarz, as you'll recall, played a key role in the ill-fated June 8 coup that deadlocked the Senate for 31 days this summer.
He served as the point main between Tom Golisano and Steve Pigeon and the Senate GOP in the early days of coup planning. According to Jim Odato's tick-tock, Maziarz set up a meeting between Skelos, Sen. Tom Libous, Golisano advisor Steve Pigeon and himself as an Albany bar called Red Square.
