WHY WOULD RUDY AND THE OTHERS WANT TO ADVERTIZE IN THE NEW YORK TRAITOR TIMES

I am at loss for words why you "ALL" would want to give money to the NEW YORK TRAITOR TIMES.

Thats like buying "EVIL", "ROAD SIDE BOMBS" to kill our troops with.

What you "ALL" should do is ask people not to "BUY" the paper.

What you "ALL" should do is ask advertisers not to advertize in the paper.

I believe that the New York Traitor Times could have, and should have said NO to the AD.

Now if you "ALL" want to "GIVE" money I suggest the two groups below

NAVY SEAL WARRIOR FUND
WWW.SEALFUND.ORG

Special Operations Warriors Foundation" WWW.SPECIALOPS.ORG

We were all wondering what the New York Times would do. Wonder no more.

Hevesi has reached that "Nixon moment," that time when even your friends tell you to pack it in. Wow!:

But one of the main jobs of the comptroller is to make sure people who handle taxpayers’ money understand the very clear line between their personal expenditures and the public treasury. There is no way Mr. Hevesi can fulfill that vital role anymore.

In case you missed it, we thought it worth noting that prolific Room Eight contributor, Jerry Skurnik, makes an appearance in today's New York Observer Wise Guys column.

The Observer folk were apparently quite taken by Jerry's earlier analysis on the extent campaigns go to crack The New York Times endorsement code - a piece that appeared on Room Eight this past weekend.

Jerry elaborates further on this point today...

There is a general belief among people active in politics that a candidate who challenges his or her opponent’s petitions forfeits any chance of receiving the New York Times endorsement or at the very least guarantees criticism by The Times of such “undemocratic” tactics.

Many, including me, think that fear is what prevented the Ferrer campaign from challenging the petitions of Christopher Brodeur & Art Piccolo for Mayor even though leaving them on the ballot increased the likelihood of a Primary Run-off.

I don’t agree with this view. I think that the Times Editorial Board considers a number of factors in deciding whom to endorse and whether a candidate takes advantage of the election law is a relatively minor one.

Is the Times open for biz for real this time?

To the most mystified of readers, here's what Healy and the gang at The New York Times have in store for you every minute of every day:

Daily Gotham coups this sneak peak of the yet-to-be-published New York Times local political blog ...

Liza Sabater, DG's culture cook and outspoken Times critic, takes this opportunity to offer the Grey Lady a blogospheric welcome.

One doesn’t have to be a friend of Al D’Amato to think that this NY Times story about Bill Weld and Al is unfair to D’Amato - starting with the headline - Hints of Truth-Stretching in Weld-D'Amato Feud and continuing throughout.

The premise that both Weld & D’Amato are not telling the whole truth is probably technically correct. But whereas Al is wrong about a relatively minor point - when they first met, Mr. Weld is shown to be telling whoppers about everything else. He is wrong about when Al gave him money, about how much money Al gave him and about whether Al threatened him.

A show of Republican consolidation reports Patrick Healy of The New York Times.
