Sometimes, politicians release statements that overwhelm any sense of credibility and takes the art of deception into new levels of hypocrisy. We have, over the few years, been treated to some real gems. The most recent that comes to mind on the national level is the statements made by some Republican Congressmen warning Nancy Pelosi that excluding their caucus from the lawmaking process would be counter to good government practices and our constitution. OMG. And they did this with a straight face.
Well, here we go again. This time, it's coming from Albany.
You might be thinking that I'm referring to Joe "The Glitch" Bruno's recent call to include the Member Items Appropriations as line items in the state budget and taking credit for introducing such a ground breaking concept. He failed to mention that his suggestion came only after he and Shelly Silver were sued by the Times Union to release the information…and they fought it all the way to the courts where they lost!
That's a good guess, but that's not it.
More after the flip.
