The Gateway (Farklempt Edition)

Hakeem Jeffries won a landslide mandate from the enrolled Democrats of the 8th Congressional District. Why is CBID inviting the Green Party candidate running against him to speak at their meeting?

Are they inviting the Republican too?  

How do we get the County and State Democratic Parties to take action against the Dov Hikinds of the world when "reform" clubs provide forums for opponents of our duly nominated candidates? Citizen 0912 www.scribd.com

Jimmy Vielkind (Retweeted by Fake Sheldon Silver): Judy, put a red post-it on all of Tony Avella's bills so they can get 'special' passage through committee.

The problem isn't that Dov Hikind will go to Florida for Romney (why is this man permitted to stay a member of the Democratic State Committee?); the problem is that he will probably come back.

Gatemouth (on Facebook 9/22/12): Might I suggest that NKD use the moment to mount a write-in campaign to elect Diana Reyna (or someone else) to Lopez's Assembly seat in November?

Hayon: Joseph Hayon likes this.

Gatemouth: Hayon may turn out to be a liberal Democrat

Joseph Hayon: I prefer honest liberals over dishonest liberals. An honest liberal can be persuaded with logic and reason. I am still working on Gatemouth.

Gatemouth: I like to think I am more honest than I am liberal; my friends on the left generally think I am neither; and I think many Repubs prefer dishonest libs–they are easier to cut a deal with.   

 

 

 

For at least a year, the place to go for inside Brooklyn GOP dirt was the comments sections of old posts on the otherwise defunct Brooklyn GOP rebel blog "Atlas Shrugs in Brooklyn," –a place which has yielded more than one Gatemouth scoop.

Now, word comes down from one of those rebels that the comments section has been closed.

Just want to remind Timmy McKennedy and the other members of the Brooklyn GOP's anti-Jig faction that the comments section is open at Room 8 (except sometimes on Rock's pieces) and one is even free to post one's own pieces. Atlas Shrugs in Brooklyn atlasshrugsinbrooklyn.wordpress.com
