Is there anyone who believes that Dean "The Dog" Skelos is against the budget extender because he wants deeper cuts in health care spending? As I've said before, mention 1199 to Senate Republicans, and they'll bid you up to 1200.
At last, someone gets between Weiner and a camera and lives to tell about it. Goat spears Rep. Weiner, draws blood washingtonscene.thehill.com
Despicable. Saujani does not cite one bad vote (probably because there aren't any). One would think that a woman with a trail of work experience for some of Wall Street most discredited malefactors would have the sense to keep silent about someone's else's mere passive investments. http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/dailypolitics/2010/06/saujani-goes-after-maloney-on.html www.nydailynews.com

Bernard Henri Levy: "For a man like me, someone who takes pride in having helped to invent, with others, the principle of this kind of symbolic action (the boat for Vietnam; the march for the survival of Cambodia in 1979; various and sundry anti-totalitarian boycotts and, more recently, the deliberate violation of the Sudan border to break the blockade that hid the perpetration of the massacres of Darfour) in other words, for a militant of humanitarian interference and the media fuss that goes with it, this pathetic saga has something of a caricature, a gloomy grimace of destiny" Bernard Henri Levy > Israel-Gaza : an end to the Disinformation and Demonization, by Bernard-Henri L www.bernard-henri-levy.com
It is a rarity for such smart people to get it so wrong; the unions didn't lose, they won. It wasn't about beating Lincoln to get someone better; their candidate Halter wouldn't even support card-check. In fact, Lincoln was probably targetted because the seat was doomed in November regardless. Nonetheless, the unions delivered their message–"cross us and you just may face a $10 million onslaught." No Democrat in Congress looks forward to such a prospect. As such, the message got delivered, notice was duly taken, and the unions scored a big victory. http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/06/09/where-did-all-the-angry-voters-go/?ref=opinion opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com
Mark my word, this is surely a part of Dean Skelos' Doghouse Democrat strategy (http://www.r8ny.com/blog/gatemouth/neuter_the_doghouse_democrats.html); the only thing stopping Skelos' total success is that the slugs he recruits have so little integrity (who else would do it?) that they screwed him as well. Sasson is clearly a future Amigo (he may even speak Ladino) http://www.cityhallnews.com/newyork/article-1329-repeat-candidate-sasson-to-self-finance-$1-million– www.cityhallnews.com
