Jun. 9th, 2009 08:46 amTwo Democratic State Senators from NYC have (attempted to) hold a coup in the Senate, throwing the leadership back to the Republicans. What's worse is that one of the gonifs involved is MY Senator. He will be receiving a letter from me, centered on Stephen Hopkins' card from 1776, every word of which applies: "Dear Sir, you are without any doubt, a rogue, a rascal, a villain, a thief, a scoundrel, and a mean, dirty, stinking, sniveling, sneaking, pimping, pocket-picking, thrice double-damned no-good son of a bitch."
For what it's worth, it's possible that the coup is invalid, as the session had been gaveled to an end prior to the action of these two sumbitching turncoats. Also, note that both of them are under criminal investigation,l and that one of them doesn't even live in his district (too bad he hadn't been impeached for that, if that were possible). Also note that the action was backed by multiple-time-gubernatorial loser Tom Golisano. Further, note that these were two of the three Democratic State Senators who were opposed to passage of a gay marriage law, already passed in the Assembly and backed by the Governor.
With any luck, those two will be swiftly booted next election. Until then, we can only hope the courts rule this mutiny invalid, and that action is taken to limit the damage.
