Behold the majesty of representative government.

Exhibit A: Democratic Senator Ruben Diaz about the most recent - as of this writing, no guarantee that this is current - meltdown by Democratic Senator Kevin Parker:

"He needs help," "He lost control of himself."

Exhibit B: Parker responds by calling Diaz a homophobe. Which is, you know, kinda true. Certainly the good Reverend thinks more about gay sex then do actual gay people; take it from me.

Exhibit C: Democratic Majority Leader Pedro Espada gets hit with yet another lawsuit courtesy of Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, this time alleging yet another rip-off of widows and orphans, in a matching set with Cuomo's recent suit alleging the embezzlement of thirteen more than fourteen million dollars by Pedro. Needless to say, Pedro is presently howling victimhood.

New Yorkers have some hard choices to make about the people we send to represent us.
