Oh come ON Albany!

Maybe someone I know could explain this latest idiocy to me?

Uh...

CRAP.

Wife-beater and notorious graft-hog jump ship in anticipation of conviction (the former) and indictment (the latter). Rabid screaming homophobe stands by and twiddles his thumbs.

It's possibly a procedural nullity anyway.

It's like they're allergic to being in charge!

Thanks for the summation. Now tell me this: are the Senate Dems pathologically incapable of being in charge or has this just been a really rotten 40 years, give or take?

It's been a combination of a rotten 40 years, a not-quite-proportional state senate districting, political dynasticism, and some particularly power-hungry people jumping ship at bad times.

Yep, that's just about right.

What annoys me is I said around the office, again and again, not to get new comfortable in our new digs, and people told me it was a virtual impossibility...

Don't start packing yet.

As BSD says, the chamber is still working under a Republican-engineered gerrymander, so the Dems are at a disadvantage to begin with. Add the feuding and corruption in the Bronx Democratic machine and you've got a recipe for endless chaos and disruption.

At least these antics might get Espada kicked out in the next primary (Monserrate was toast to begin with).

Even bad news is good news?
