Instapundit guest contributor Ed Driscoll, uncharitably
characterizing New York politicians:
Whose political class is better suited to Star Wars’ cantina: Charles Schumer, Michael Bloomberg, Bill de Blasio, Anthony Weiner, Al Sharpton, Hillary Clinton, and possibly joining them in November, Donald Trump.
It's a group of bizarros, for sure. Driscoll forgot Sheldon Silver.
The New York Times reports:
Sheldon Silver, the former State Assembly speaker, will be sentenced at the federal courthouse in Lower Manhattan today.
If Mr. Silver lands behind bars, he’ll be in familiar company.
At least six of his colleagues from the New York State Legislature are in the federal prison system.
John L. Sampson a Senate Democrat, and Dean G. Skelos, the former Republican Senate majority leader, are scheduled to be sentenced this month.
New York politics are as "colorful" as Illinois politics, and as productive of prison inmates, too. Illinois native Hillary must feel very much "at home" in the New York political swamp.
