Obamawitz: "I'm no user of humans"

From Liz Benjamin:

"We have over 100 volunteers in this campaign, and I am proud of every one of them," Newell said. "Elizabeth Crothers contacted me 2 months ago and offered to help, and I gladly accepted."

"Ms. Crothers is an extremely intelligent woman with a deep knowledge of Albany. She has been an asset to this campaign. I am proud to have her support."

"That said, this campaign remains focused on ending Sheldon Silver's culture of failure in Albany and delivering results on the affordable housing, quality schools and livable streets that Lower Manhattanites deserve."

"That is the message we are delivering to the streets and doors of our district today, and that is the message we will continue to deliver throughout this campaign."

Right, Paulie. Just like an Obama bundler volunteered to bundle for you, and Jacob Gershman came up with the Luke Henry character assassination ammo and your accusations on Shelly Silver staffers and new mobile offices all on his own.  And 100 volunteers? You can't even exaggerate within any kind of context.

You're a real peach of a guy, Obamawitz.

BTW: What about your mega-Obama-bundled fundraiser numbers? You should just get a job and self-finance, you'll do much better.

David Mack, big cog in running the MTA into the ground, actually closes a loop between MTA incompetence and State Police police stating by the likes of Danny Wiese and Bill Howard. From yesterday's NY Times:

David S. Mack has turned in his free E-ZPasses. Now the State Police want him to turn in his badge.

Even before Mr. Mack, a Metropolitan Transportation Authority vice chairman, made headlines this month by declaiming loudly (although briefly) in favor of free travel perks for the authority’s board members, he was being sought by the State Police, who had a rather unusual request.

It seems that Mr. Mack, a wealthy Long Island construction executive, is something of a police buff. So much so that in 1995, a few months after George E. Pataki became governor, Mr. Mack was made an unpaid deputy superintendent of the State Police.

The post came with a badge and gave him the right to wear a state trooper’s uniform, which he often did while attending ceremonial events like police academy graduations.

Huh?
