Nice Guys Don't Always Run Last

Guess who ended up as David Patterson's Campaign Manager for his Lt. Governor run (coronation)?       

YES, you guessed it:  LUTHER SMITH.                                                         The former chief-of -staff to C.Viriginia Fields ( ex-Manhattan Beep ) was last seen working on Freddie Ferrer's Mayoral campaign, as a Special-Assistant to the candidate himself (post-primary). This likeable, hard-working and competent guy, was rumored to have hooked up with Bill Lynch's consulting firm.  From where we stand at this  moment in time, it looks like a 'piece of cake " for Luther. Score one for the nice-guys.

Luther Smith a nice guy? I suppose if you
own a bar, or are a landlord, he may be
nice to you. To constituents - he's a
nightmare (unless you ponied up money
for Fields or were a Dem. club hack).
He's one reason why
C. V. Fields tanked.

Luther Smith is one of the most honorable men still left  in politics. He is more than nice, he is respectful to the community and extremely helpful.. I have personally known him for more than 10 years. CVF tanked all on her own, no one can blame her on anyone.

Hi,
I am trying to find out whether or not Luther A. Smith is the son of Court of Appeals Judge George B. Smith? I have met Luther a few times and he is a nice help guy. Thank you !

His father is a Panamanian immigrant living in the Bronx (I think).

Hack is often used to describe Luther Smith.

However, hack is a verb and that implies activity - something unknown to indolent Smith.

Luther Smith corrupted community boards throughout the borough at the behest of Fields in her quest for funding for her mayoral bid.

He was her hatchet man who decimated the good people from the boards and put in corrupt and malevolent campaign contributors.

Also he is a lazy campaigner (I know, I campaigned with him and he sat mostly on his fat, slothful ass) and the only good thing about him going to Albany is that it means one less parasite in the city.
