Check out the latest comprehensive hypocrisy/mendacity (we need to create a new word to describe his pathology more succinctly) to escape Paul Newell's lips. From Tuesday's Politicker:
One of Sheldon Silver’s Democratic opponents, Paul Newell, thinks Silver is trying to position himself as an environmental advocate ahead of the primary in September. “There’s no way for anyone to ever tell why anything progresses through our legislature because our laws are written in secret,” Newell said. “That said, I think it’s very likely that Sheldon Silver, facing his first serious challenge of his political career, from a committed environmentalist decided to play ball on an important issue.”
Here's a committed-environmentalist (beach) ball for you, Obamawitz. It's called your main fundraiser is a committed anti-environmentalist who plays ball on important issues by pushing California LNG terminals for Arnold Schwarzenegger and the GOP. That said, Obamawitz, it would also be good if these "grassroot supporters" of the LNG project actually existed. Now there's a thought, Obamawitz, why not get her to carry petitions for you. You'll definitely get on the ballot. Should work out excellently.
