Azi is capable of better; in summing up the potential Democratic candidates for Weiner’s seat, he fails to mention David Weprin, even though it seems clear he's the Weprin who actually wants it. His mention of Holtzman calls her out as a leftie, but mentions impeaching Dubya, when he should be mentioning Israel.

Holtzmanic Depression
|City Hall News is reporting that Queens Democratic Leader and Congressman Joe Crowley is seriously considering giving the Democratic nomination for Anthony Weiner to Former City Comptroller Elizabeth Holtzman, who once represented the district’s ancestral seat in Congress, as the sort of elder stateswoman who could win the seat without posing a serious threat of trying to hold it after reapportionment.

A Rory Pause

The latest rumor in the race for the Democratic nomination in the 9th Congressional District is that Party Leader Joe Crowley’s choice has narrowed to either Assemblyman David Weprin or Assemblyman Rory Lancman.
Rumor is that Councilman Mark Weprin is backing his brother.
The other day, I made the case for Weprin
How does Lancman stack up?

Thought for the New Week:
“Matrimony loves company”
And that, my friends, may not be its sole resemblance to misery.
The Times: “In drafting a compromise, however, Senator Saland and other Republicans insisted on language that carves out exceptions for religious institutions and not-for-profit corporations affiliated with those religious entities….There was simply no need for these exemptions…"
Wrong. There was a need.
They were necessary to get the law passed.

Robert Caro: “There is an expression used in Albany to describe the relationship of two men between whom there exists bad feeling when that feeling has existed for years, has resisted every attempt at reconciliation and has only deepened with the passage of time, to a point where ‘dislike’ is not so fitting a name for it as ‘hatred.’ In discussing such men, one assemblyman will say to another, with a knowing shake of his head: ‘They go back a long way’”

|After watching this year’s Albany session, climaxing with the dramatic passage of Same Sex Marriage, as masterfully executed by the Governor, can there be any doubt that Andrew Cuomo is “The Real Steamroller.”
The Triumph of the Conservatives

Little commented on is the real truth.
Same sex marriage is the triumph of the conservatives.
I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating.
Radical redefinitions of the family have given way to suburbia.
This is the triumph of two cats in a yard and a mortgage.
As I said two years ago:
