HIP HIP HOORAY!!
Let this be a lesson to all of the Brooklyn politicians. We are fed up, we aren’t going to take anymore Anthony Weiners and Carl Krugers. We want honest politicians, I don’t care what color, race, or creed they are. Just be honest!
He was a Goniff and a hypocrite. Unfortunately, we get the government that we deserve.
Hmmmm … the article doesn’t include any mention of the fact that the crook in question is a DEMOCRAT.
Oh yeah, it is an AP article – that explains that.
Lets now sit back and see if the NYC/NYS system of justice really will punish him properly with serious prison time or will his high priced legal talent get him a slap on the wrist.
