Headlines, February 13

Washington Post: Richard Cohen wants to know how Hillary Clinton failed her country.

The New York Times: Eliot Spitzer is expected to approve the Freedom Tower, with a view to the booming downtown real estate market.

More Eliot in the Times, in reference to the Comptroller fiasco. A typo: the Times refers to one 'relatively obscure' Assemblyman, ignoring that they are all mostly obscure, and deservedly so.

Surprise! The new Q-Poll gives Spitzer a 61-11 positive rating, while Silver and Bruno – the bouncing baby boys of Albany dysfunction – receive a 48-31 disapproval rating.

Still not going away: The Daily News rips some more flesh from yet another worthless Assemblyite, noting that they're starting to get a vague apprehension that their hackery has been noticed.

And lastly, not a news item, but an appeal: can't someone start a process that would give us term limits for the state legislature? Here's an idea: Contact your Assemblyist and tell them exactly how you feel. Urge them to embrace term limits, step down, retire, whatever it takes. Just get those people out.

The Assembly...

I am amazed at how the Albany Denizens didn't see this coming. They thought it was status quo time...that no one was watching.

Steamroller has changed everything and he has the people behind him.

I just glad that eveyone is learning the name of their Assemblyman. Next up...learning the name of their State Senator.
