Glad to Hear I'm Not the Only One...

Huh. (0.00 / 1)

I was going to write about that, because I've been getting them as well; thing is, I have no idea how they got the specific address they're using. It's not linked to TDG at all.

Not surprised, (0.00 / 0)

  these "responsible" right wing wingnuts say they are the responsible leaders, lies, lies and more lies.  Meanwhile, does anyone blog at the times union and how it that site, generally?

The TU blogs... (0.00 / 1)

were better when Liz Benjamin was around, but they're still good for annoying partisan comment-fights.

Stuff I can't find elsewhere... (0.00 / 0)

...turns up on Cap Con on a regular basis-- details that are not in newspaper stories, although the stories may refer to those details. 

I'm also convinced that some of the wingnut commenters at Cap Con are on the payroll of the Rep. Dirty Tricks Squad.... which I believe does really exist... and would doubtless also send drivel email spam of Dicker's columns.... thankfully, I am not getting any (or my spam filter is dumping them for me).

Spitzer has them running real scared (2.00 / 2)

Spitzer must be doing something right!

To get this level of bullying and spurious attacks, they must be absolutely scared sh**less of Eliot.

We can expect things to get even nastier as Spitzer pushes his agenda -- you know, the one that a large majority of NY'ers voted for.

Major problem: the MSM and its inability to do its job. Instead, expect the BS " he said she said" style of "reporting" (stenography) that inevitably favors the right-wing bullies and liars like Bruno and company.

uh, no (4.00 / 1)

Spitzer's made no secret that he wants to beat Senate Rs. So of course Bruno was going to fight back. And he's using this avenue of attack because polls show people don't like steamrollers, even if they still like Spitzer.

Will it work? Beats me. All the stories also talk about Bruno's using state transportation for fundraising trips. I think if the AG decides someone's done something wrong then the story will change and that person will become the focus, much to their chagrin. Alan Hevesi, is that you?

i think the issue (4.00 / 3)

is that they really do see it as an abuse of power for an elected official to ask other elected officials to stop stealing from the tax payers.  Bruno and his ilk must be scratching their heads going, "what is his problem?  If we can't steal the tax payers money there certainly is no point in being an elected official in NY". 

Expect heaps of criticism if Soares or Cuomo pursues this and brings charges.  Get ready to bust our your Republican quotes about Hevesi when that happens so we can all bask in the hypocrisy.

if Bruno mis -used tax-payers money, (0.00 / 0)

  i say its a separate story from past mis-use.  Bruno is in power Now, and should anwser for his use of taxpayer transportation.

Note on protocol (1.33 / 3)

It's considered infuriating to give out threes. Give fours, or trollrate. Make up your mind.
