Hakeem Jeffries won a landslide mandate from the enrolled Democrats of the 8th Congressional District. Why is CBID inviting the Green Party candidate running against him to speak at their meeting?

Are they inviting the Republican too?

Jimmy Vielkind (Retweeted by Fake Sheldon Silver): Judy, put a red post-it on all of Tony Avella's bills so they can get 'special' passage through committee.

The problem isn't that Dov Hikind will go to Florida for Romney (why is this man permitted to stay a member of the Democratic State Committee?); the problem is that he will probably come back.

Gatemouth (on Facebook 9/22/12): Might I suggest that NKD use the moment to mount a write-in campaign to elect Diana Reyna (or someone else) to Lopez's Assembly seat in November?

Hayon: Joseph Hayon likes this.

Gatemouth: Hayon may turn out to be a liberal Democrat

Joseph Hayon: I prefer honest liberals over dishonest liberals. An honest liberal can be persuaded with logic and reason. I am still working on Gatemouth.

Gatemouth: I like to think I am more honest than I am liberal; my friends on the left generally think I am neither; and I think many Repubs prefer dishonest libs--they are easier to cut a deal with.

Now, word comes down from one of those rebels that the comments section has been closed.

Just want to remind Timmy McKennedy and the other members of the Brooklyn GOP's anti-Jig faction that the comments section is open at Room 8 (except sometimes on Rock's pieces) and one is even free to post one's own pieces. Atlas Shrugs in Brooklyn atlasshrugsinbrooklyn.wordpress.com
