Tempests, Teapots, Teacups, The Brooklyn GOP, Hayon, Akselrod, Pinkus, Davidson, Berardelli, Gallo, Eaton and “a cast of hundreds”

When factions within factions within factions in the Brooklyn GOP fight things out in public, how can anybody take any of this seriously ? Seriously, I mean SERIOUSLY ! ! !


In spite of several Emails and links sent to me in Margaretaville, Florida, I stayed focused on my quest for a lost shaker of salt, figuring all of this  would blow over. Well, I’m back in Brooklyn, so I am now I’m getting phone calls from y/k/w, who says things are worse than ever. Why am I not surprised ?

This is all about a fight over an opportunity to ballot on the GOP line in one of the Southwest Brooklyn assembly districts on behalf of Democrat Ben Akselrod.  It seems like the local Republican organization is fighting to keep its line blank rather than allow a hostile takeover by a rump group of Republicans that want to get the line for Akselrod as he pursues his multi-year fight with Steven Cymbrowitz.

Once again, Joseph Hayon has leveled charges of anti-Semitism against Kings County GOP Law Chairman Gene Berardelli. This time, it’s all about whether Berardelli would consent to an adjournment of a hearing at the Board of Elections so that it would not interfere with the celebration of a minor Jewish holy day by his very observant Orthodox Jewish opponents.

All of that is passed, and the adjournment was granted by the BOI.  Gene said he consented to the adjournment ( he even broadcast and Email about it), Joseph says that isn’t so and the tape of the proceedings prove that Berardelli is lying. Now, Gene and the rest of the crowd at Brooklyn GOP [blog-talk] Radio are referring to Hayon as a Brooklyn GOP Orthodox Jewish “Al Sharpton” during a recent Brooklyn GOP Radio program.  All of this has entangled people like Craig Eaton, Russell Gallo, Diana Sepulveda, Boris Pinkus, Grigory Davidson, Marcus Nussbaum, Lucretia Regins-Potter and a few others.  Hayon now maintains that Craig Eaton no longer has support of over 300 County Committee delegates that voted for him at the last GOP County Convention, and he can’t get them back unless Gene Berardelli is removed as the County Law Chairman.

How thin can you slice the factions of the Brooklyn GOP for them to be thin enough to be having a fight like this one ?  This is too small even to be referred to as a “Tempest in a Teapot”;  furthermore, I doubt that all of this might succeed in making a noticeable ripple across a full cup of tea. Nonetheless, all these guys seem to want to “have at it” –  so who am I to say, “Nay!”

  3. The Brooklyn GOP is not and was never involved in this opportunity to ballot matter. Gene has been doing this all on his own......I believe he was appearing on behalf of a client as he states. Have not heard anything official from Eaton or the Brooklyn GOP as to this issue so I don't know why you believe it has anything to do with the Brooklyn GOP?

  4. RESPONSE: THE "THIS IS SO SIMPLE EVEN YOU CAN GET IT" EDITION

    If you go up to two of your neighbors who are having a fight and say "I'm not involved in this..."; and one of the neighbors walks over to you and puts a gun to your head and says, "Well, buster get involved real quick and make sure it's on the right side, or else I'll blow your brains out !" Guess what, no matter what happens next, you're involved.

  5. This is all a joke, right? Who was Gene Berardelli's client, Diana Sepulveda, right? She's head of the Brooklyn Young Republicans and an Eaton person, right?

  6. If Armand was still around he would give all you boys a spanking

  7. This sounds like the Log Cabin crew still in the closet

  8. Giving boys spankings, how deliciously scintillating! Didn't Armand actually live in the West Village and not in Brooklyn? Or are we talking about a different "Armand"?

  9. Thats the Armand we are talking about.

    A Bay Ridge fixture in the GOP, he was really a Jim McGreevy democrat

  10. Too bad Gallo and Eaton didn't use their power to unseat Golden.

  11. Joseph Hayon supports a few too many democrats to be on the Brooklyn GOP Executive Committee.

    And I think calling him the Jewish Al Sharpton was brilliant!

  12. Gallo and Eaton couldnt unseat a school board member

  13. Berardelli is Golden's mole, or just a cancer on Eaton's operation.

  14. I HAVE A GUEST RESPONSE FROM ALEX TREBEC: Comments like the one above should always be in the form of a question. For example, "Is Berardelli Golden's mole, or just a cancer on Eaton's operation."

    I don't know why, but that's how it is on "Jeopardy" and it looks like a good idea here too.

  15. Will Russ Gallo and Craig Eaton go as far to campaign for James Kermit?

  16. UPDATE: THE "HAYON WILL EXPLAIN ALL" EDITION

    IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS JOSEPH HAYON WILL SPEAK OUT ON EXACTLY WHAT IS BOTHERING HIM -- UNLESS THE PROBLEM IS RESOLVED BY CRAIG EATON FIRST

    If you really care, be there or be square. Brooklyn GOP execs know....

  17. UPDATE: THE “WHY SHOULD I REPEAT MYSELF WHEN I SAID IT SO WELL ELSEWHERE” EDITION

    HAYON SILENT (FOR HIM) AT BROOKLYN GOP MEETING, BECAUSE GALLO AND BERARDELLI WEREN’T THERE

    There were no Hayon-Berardelli fireworks at yesterday’s Brooklyn GOP-47th AD meeting. There are lots of vague and ambiguous clues as to what really happened and why. (See Galewyn Massey comment, “RESPONSE & UPDATE: THE " 'OYE VE !' SEGUE" EDITION” to 8/26/14 post above, “Israel plans an ‘Unprecedented..’ invasion of Staten Island from Brooklyn” on this blog). Even if you aren’t tired of most of this stuff, I am beginning to get groggy even thinking about it; and making my fingers beat these keys about it becomes more and more of an effort.

    Somebody please, make y/k/w stop calling me about this stuff.
