The Gateway (Pawlenty of Nuthin’ Edition)

While I tend to agree with the assessment that Tom DiNapoli has "Chipmunk Balls" (in fact, this might be conceding him too much)–it could be argued with some justice that refusing to stand with this particular Governor requires almost elephantine testicular fortitude.

Kinsley's rule says the scandal isn't what's illegal; the scandal is what's legal. This is slightly less sophisticated than Marty Golden’s scam, but just as distressing. It's legal, but wrong, for Attorney General Eric Schneiderman to pocket campaign cash personals.nydailynews.com

 

 

Why has no reporter asked Bob Turner how far away from Ground Zero is far enough?

A lot of five time a day praying Muslims work in the Financial District. Does he have a suggestion where they should go?

Yeah, that's what I thought too. Turner: ‘P.C’ Weprin ‘Deluded’ On Ground Zero Mosque | PolitickerNY www.politickerny.com

 

 

Rudy personifies "a noun, a verb and 9/11." Turner could almost be Rudy's Mini-Me, except for the fact he has trouble putting together a noun and a verb.

Rock wants a sit down.

I have to admit, his post is mostly gracious.

Mostly.

For Rock.

I thought we had decided upon a cold peace, and that was fine with me. You want a meeting, bro? Fine. I agreed to meet with Brad Lander, who I’ve been far more harsh on than I ever was with you. I not only made peace with Chris Owens, I endorsed him (hell, I even endorsed you). You want an entourage, fine (but please, not Mr. Nunes). I’m gonna Gary Cooper it myself. But I’m not gonna make the arraignments in public. I will not engage in a public circus unless we’re charging admission (though, if we are charging admission, I’m up for the idea).

You know my email.

As to your threat, “If not I will continue to hit back at you every time I perceive you have hit at me.”  I would prefer that from now on we restrict our strong disagreements to the issues being discussed. http://www.r8ny.com/blog/rock_hackshaw/an_open_letter_to_gatemouth
