Is "Bikelanegate" really going to be the long-awaited, real & true --- "GOLDENGATE" ???

News reports have indicated that Marty Golden's "My Life in the Bike Lane" auto-biographical adventure might have an official-looking component  ---  at least, that's what they say Mayor de Blasio is saying


In any case,  it looks like State Senator Marty G and his band of merry supporters, staffers and camp followers are all having something less than a perfect Christmas in this year of 2017  ---  with a promise that all of it will be carrying-over into the New Year of 2018.....   After all, didn't the Mayor say,  "...  I will certainly get back to you on that...."



The Daily News is reporting that  "...  City Hall is investigating after after a cyclist said state Sen. Marty Golden used a parking placard to impersonate a cop....  'I have to look into that,'   [Mayor] de Blasio said when asked whether [the City of New York] might revoke Golden’s [special] parking privileges. 'I know that when the issue came up, folks in my administration who work on those issues were following up. But I don’t know what’s been learned, so I will certainly get back to you on that' [the  Mayor said]...."  (See  "City Hall looking into cop-impersonating state Sen. Marty Golden"  by Jillian Jorgensen,  12/21/17,  Daily News/ Politics   [http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/city-hall-cop-impersonating-state-sen-marty-golden-article-1.3714734]).

  5. DeBlasio and Marty have a good working relationship. Barkan and Gounardes are being played. Neither of them has a chance against Marty—and they’re the perfect suckers to consummate a deal Marty and the Democrats made a long time ago to run a strong opponent against him. Barkan will go out there to to talks about raise $10,000 and get slaughtered. Gounardes will go out there raise a lot more money obsess over LGBTQ issues and still get slaughtered. There could be a video of Marty and his driver beating the bicyclist with a bat it won’t change anything because of the weak opposition.

  6. McCall, Eaton, Capano..helpless and useless, as usual.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Let's see what happens and see who's really helpless and hapless. AHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

    ReplyDelete
  8. Why would anyone think Barkan or pantsfullofsloppyass is running against Golden? McCall will wipe the floor with Golden.

    ReplyDelete
  9. One thing is clear -- Marty will again be victorious and Quaglione will always have his job fetching coffee for the King

    ReplyDelete
  10. How many times do Capano and Eaton have to lose..if they want t o lose with McCall a also..that's fine..we all need to remember Eaton ran cats bklyn mayoral campaign and lost?

    ReplyDelete
  11. If Marty is Mr Invincible than explain why he keeps throwing crumbs to Brannen and Carroll so nobody runs against him?

    ReplyDelete
  12. Well McCall aint looking for crumbs so now Marty has a problem.

    ReplyDelete
  13. McCall and Capano clearly eat lots of crumbs

    ReplyDelete
  14. Eaton lost with Cats in 2013, lost to Golden for GOP Chair, lost with Capano, and now will lose with McCall...does this guy like to be the laughing stock of the NYS GOP?????

    ReplyDelete
  15. Cats lost by 12 percentage points citywide and only by a hundred votes in Brooklyn and beat Lhota on Golden’s home turf making a fool out of him and his crew. After Lhota got crushed in the general, Golden had to go begging to repair the relationship with Cats.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Golden did repair the relationship with Cats and that's exactly why Cats speaks with Marty and Ghorra regularly and will support the Senator..cats gives lip service to Eaton...Eaton will have no choice to sit on the sidelines on the 2018 state Senate race unless he wants to support marty

    ReplyDelete
  17. Cats has no relationship at all with Golden or Ghorra. If you believe that they have a relationship why isnt Ghorra or Golden at any of Cats events, dinners, etc. Look at Cats FB posts...they are nowhere to be found ever. I know for a fact that Cats still harbors anger towards Golden and Kassar for the Lhota race and Cats has a very long memory.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I think when Cats supports Golden in 2018 this issue is over...Golden, Ghorra, and Cats together for fundraisers, etc....I assure you and know for a fact Craig will not be anywhere to be found.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Cats can’t stand Golden and has never even heard of Ghorra. Ghorra keeps kissing up to his daughter Andrea hoping to get an introduction but in truth Cats is biding his time for payback.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Ted Ghorra and Andrea Catsimatidis- What a great GOP team for NYC!!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Ted Ghorra won’t go to the bathroom without asking permission from Jerry Kassar. What a joke.

    ReplyDelete
  22. You missed the email. Ghorra ia trying to get Cats to sell toupe's at the Gristedes stores.....

    ReplyDelete
  23. i see Quaglione 'calling on' Donovan and Shumer to support a congressional resolution. I see Quaglione is also "calling on" the Royal diner to deliver Kassar's lunch

    ReplyDelete
  24. Of all the people mentioned above Golden Donovan and kassar are the only winners

    ReplyDelete
  25. Donovan realized too late that he was being played by the Brooklyn Conservatives who expect to get jobs and not have to work. If Donovan survives expect major changes on the Brooklyn side.

  28. BACKFILL: THE "WAS THIS GOOD CRISIS MANAGEMENT ???" EDITION

    DID JQ, GOLDEN'S PR GUY, OR KASSAR, HIS BOSS OF BOSSES, HAVE A HAND IN THIS ???

    GOLDEN GOT >>> SHOT AT MORE << DURING HIS CBS TV INTERVIEW ABOUT THE "BIKERAGE" INCIDENT THAN HE DID ANY SUPPOSED "FIRING BACK"

    NEWS FLASH: MARTY GOLDEN IS FAR FROM GLIB --- MOST OF THE TIME HE SUFFERS FROM VERBAL DIARRHEA


    In my opinion, Marty Golden got by far the worst of it from the opening and closing remarks from a 2 CBS News, New York anchorwoman; and then during a Tony Aiello report, all of which was broadcast over a week ago (See "Marty Golden Fires Back After Being Accused Of Impersonating Police Officer" [by Tony Aiello], 12/15/17, CBS2 New York [http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2017/12/15/marty-golden-speaks-out/]).

    Rather than glibly deflecting Tony Aiello's questions, obviously somebody in the Golden brain trust had advised our local State Senator to engage the reporter. The result was a torturous audio-video record of verbal diarrhea from the great communicator of Bay Ridge.

    Golden started by trying to be dismissive of the whole bicycle lane thing, but then veered off and accused the cyclist of causing the whole thing. Golden, himself, described it as "road rage" by the cyclist, who pursued our NYSSMG for thirty (30) blocks as Golden and his driver "... tried to get away from him...."

    Sadly for Marty, there was much more than that. For example, for some reason, Golden decided to defend himself when there was a mention of "new interest" in a backstory concerning his killing of the old lady many years ago with his SUV, a case that according to CBS, was settled by Golden's insurance company. Marty tried to excuse this vehicular homicide by saying the victim, an elderly woman, walked into the side of his "car" as he proceeded through a changed light. Also for some reason, he felt compelled to add that the woman had a stomach cancer, and that condition additionally contributed to her death. [It was previously mentioned on this blog that $750,000 was paid-out to settle this claim against Golden].

    If all that was true, then I have some very simple follow-up questions for my state senator:

    First, if, as NYSSMG claims, it was the bike-rider who had the road rage percolating; WHY DOES MARTY GOLDEN THINK THAT THE CYCLIST WAS SO ENRAGED ?????

    Second, if the accident involving the old lady with cancer resulted only from her "walking" into the side of NYSSMG's SUV, why did she spend the rest of her life in the hospital being treated for her injuries from the accident, and why did an insurance company pay so much [$750,000] to settle the claim ?????

  29. Kassar is good at making deals to sell out local Republicans and not much else. This story blew up and his advice only managed to make it worse.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Kassar ran Steve and John’s campaigns and they got crushed. 1% is a better result than taking orders from someone in bed with the Democrats.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Kassar always will be around as the main player in Bay Ridge, while Eaton, Capano, and McCall can only blog

    ReplyDelete
  32. Totally agree 1% chance Golden gets re-elected..

    ReplyDelete
  33. RESPONSE: THE "1%" EDITION

    TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 8:22 AM"; AND COUNTLESS OTHERS MAKING THE SAME "1%" COMMENT(S)

    YOUR TACTIC OF KEEPING THE "1%" COMMENTARY GOING & GOING & GOING & GOING & GOING & GOING, LIKE THE ENERGIZER BUNNY, IS NOT EVEN GOOD NEGATIVE PR


    Whoever keeps doing the "1%" meme, no doubt about BC, is making a hu-u-u-u-u-ge mistake.

    1) It show that the "1%" commenter is so obsessed with Bobby C that his thinking about Bob is way beyond 1%, and is probably closer to 110-120 %; and

    2) It greatly diminishes the expectations of the crowd that Bob needs to achieve much more than 1% for his candidates during his first stint as Reform Party Chairman.

    ReplyDelete
  34. What does Bob’s result have to do with the fact that whatever campaign Kassar touches turns to garbage? While Kassar hangs out at the Manor promising part time jobs to bottom feeders, Craig is hanging out at 21 with CEOS.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Eaton and Capano are more respected than Kassar will ever be-

    ReplyDelete
  36. No one whose meal ticket isn’t stamped by the KCCP respects Jerry.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Marty's handling of Bike-Gate was a crash course in "How Not to Engage with the Press"
    Let us remind readers that none other than our very own John "Bumbles" Quaglione is Marty's PRESS SECRETARY and chief media war room strategist. Bang up job, boys!

    ReplyDelete
  38. Q nothing to do with response. Word is Jerry actually got some of his cronies paid to do “crisis management”. They are still laughing.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Wait.... Q had nothing to do with response ?! Is he not Marty's "press secretary"

    If Q isn't responding to inquiries from the news then what the heck is Q doing besides getting Marty his tuna on rye ?!

    The plot, it thickens

    ReplyDelete
  40. Even Golden’s office understood they needed to hire well connected pros with media contacts to quiet this down. Marty’s not going to stake his political future on advice from John taken directly from Jerry.

    ReplyDelete
  41. December 23, 2017 at 10:34 AM is correct.......... it was quickly decided Quaglione could not handle this crisis (he was Marty's press secretary only for 19 years) and Kassar made the executive decision to outsource the media response to Hank "Take The Money And Run" Sheinkof

    ReplyDelete
  42. Because Hank did such a great job advising the Malliotakis campaign and the New York Senate Republicans hahahaha!

    ReplyDelete
  43. I will ask the question again since nobody here seems to have the answer: if Hank Sheinkopf is handling Marty's news media then what the heck is Quaglione's role in the office besides fetching Marty's lunch ?!??!!

    ReplyDelete
  44. I feel so sorry for Q..

    ReplyDelete
  45. I feel sorry for Capano..the only friend he has in Bay Ridge is a nobody named Craig Eaton, who state GOP Chairman Ed Cox joke about.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Agree with 1223pm..1%chance Golden wins next year and that Kassar and Q get a real job

    ReplyDelete
  47. 114 pm..it may be 0.5% not even 1% chance of Golden winning re-election

    ReplyDelete
  48. May be even .25% chance of Golden re-election 144pm...you may be giving Kassar and Quaglione too much credit!!

    ReplyDelete
  49. Agree with 148pm...miniscule chance of Golden winning re-election...
    Less than 1%

  50. Chairman and Professor Capano

  51. Thanks Gale for the clip on CBS.

    Golden is looking really really really old these days. I guess the pressure is catching up to him. And is crony Kassar just had a kidney transplant....not a real healthy crew these guys.

    Time for some new and fresh blood representing this Senate District...

  56. The Brooklyn Conservatives are done. Clorinda and Jerry had their parties on the same night. Clorinda who isn’t even that involved anymore had over a hundred people at her event while Jerry could barely get ten people at his event. About three or four people from the BOE who owe their jobs to him and a few people from Staten Island. The jig is up.

  70. Curtis Sliwa is back and better than ever after his surgery. Not good for Kassar and his cronies in Brooklyn..The Reform Party is coming!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  71. Gail, are you going to do the right thing and stand up for Richard Luthmann or NOT? Your one word post, "Luthmann" is not a very strong piece of journalism, even if you did get over a hundred people to make comments to it.

    Luthmann, a former Reform Party activist, is being railroaded by the FEDS only to benefit the McMahons, who are worse than the MacBeths when it comes to grievous treachery.

    At least let YOUR HANDFUL OF LOYAL READERS know what the New York Times has reported about this case. I know that your friend, ykw, has given you a lot more detailed information than that about the tell-all case Luthmann brought on behalf of Mike Pulizotto against people like Judge Judy McMahon, Staten Island DA Mike McMahon and THE MAN with a million stories to tell about the courts in Staten Island and around the State of New York, Denis Quirk

    ReplyDelete
  72. Sliwa and Capano, stronger than ever..I hear big news coming in January

    ReplyDelete
  73. Anyone who was foolish enough to align with Luthmann will now have to pay the price. The case against him is very strong and anyone active in SI circles knew that this guy at the very least had felonious tendencies way before any indictments came out.

    ReplyDelete
  74. 357 pm
    Correct..McCabe needs to return his donations..

    ReplyDelete
  75. Luthmann is a cross between Joan of Arc and the elephant Man.

    ReplyDelete
  76. To the comment above asking Gale to do the right thing with Luthmann, I do agree. However Gale reminds me of a girl I dated in high school. The more you ask the less chance you have of getting it.

    I don't know why I married her.

  83. RESPONSE: THE "REALLY BIG POLITICAL NEWS" EDITION

    TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 2:09 PM"; "... AT 3:57 PM"; "... AT 4:45 PM"; AND "... AT 5:00 PM"

    LET'S SAY THAT I AGREE WITH >>> ALL <<< OF THE COMMENT MAKERS ABOVE, BECAUSE THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF TRUTH IN EACH OF THE COMMENTS BY THE ANONYMOUS COMMENTERS CITED IN MY "TO" SUBHEADING --- IT'S ALSO A LOT EASIER THAT WAY, TALKING ABOUT WHAT I AGREE WITH AND NOT ALL THE OTHER STUFF THAT I DON'T

    The Federal Indictment of Richard Luthmann really does look bad. And to paraphrase "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 3:57 PM": "Anyone who [is] foolish enough to align with Luthmann will [ ] have to pay the price. The case against [Luthmann looks] very strong and anyone active in SI circles knew that this [Luthmann] at the very least had felonious tendencies way before any indictments came out...."

    Nonetheless, something about all of this stuff stinks to high heaven --- and that's the truth.

    BTW, "... ANYONE ACTIVE IN SI CIRCLES KNEW... [LUTHMANN]... HAD FELONIOUS TENDENCIES...."
    --- that one really needs some unpacking.

    I'm not close to this case, and I haven't been fully briefed by any of my BSIs about it; but I do know that a prosecutor (in this case many state and federal prosecutors) has gone after a political activist with whom that prosecutor had lots of issues. First, the prosecutor tried using a "Special Prosecutor"; when there was a tough motion made by Luthmann concerning the "Special Prosecutor", then with the addition of some magical testimony of several bad actors, who had messes of their own to work-out, the case went over to the "Feds" and Luthmann was then arrested by them for what looks like some really bad things; and the SI prosecutor and everybody on Staten Island, including the SI Advance, said what a wonderful thing that it would be for DA McMahon and his lovely wife Judge Judy if Luthmann were stuck in the slammer for a very long time.

    Yeah, this thing stinks to high heaven, alright; and what makes it stink even more is the Dennis Quirk part. You know, he's the same Dennis Quirk, who is asshole-buddies with State Senator Marty Golden.... OH, AND THE SAME DENNIS QUIRK, WHO TRIED UNSUCCESSFULLY IN 2013 TO SALVAGE THE SOILED AND TATTERED CAREER OF PROSECUTOR CHARLES HYNES ALONG WITH BROOKLYN'S CONSERVATIVE BOSSES MIKE LONG AND JERRY KASSAR, AND LAWYER ARTIE AIDALA.

    AND YOU KNOW WHAT --- I'LL BET YOU THAT PROBABLY THEY >>> ALL <<< ARE CONNECTED TO THIS CASE IN SOME WAY, AS WELL

    ReplyDelete
  84. Incredible stuff. Everything Quirk gets involved with turns to crap. Where does he get the money for all that food?

    ReplyDelete
  85. Everyone knows Luthmann is a sleaze. He paid a stripper ten thousand dollars to claim McMahon had sex with her.

    ReplyDelete
  86. Wow 10;22 - - Sex on this blog !!! A first for everything.

    I want to hear more about that stripper.

    ReplyDelete
  87. I think there's a word missing from 10:22's story, and that is "rape."

    Plus, there's been lots of talk about sex and DA McMahan, but not very much of it with his lovely wife.

    ReplyDelete
  88. Everybody is missing one of the real sleazes in this story, John P. Connors, the hooked-up Staten Island attorney, who's got at least a little bit of a conflict of interest going on here from the look of things.
    On the sleaze spectrum, though, John-John Connors is at the choirboy end, Judy and Mike McMahon are in the middle, and Dennis Quirk, well sleazy doesn't even begin to tell his story.

    ReplyDelete
  89. The charge isn't that Luthmann paid a stripper to have sex with McMahon; I believe the charge was that he offered that money for her to claim that McMahon attacked her.

    ReplyDelete
  90. Long live Richard Luthmann

    ReplyDelete
  91. It sure be plain as the zit on the tip of your nose that everybody ready to testify against Ruthmann for These alleged crimes of his are low lifes that prosecutors have squeezed for their bad testimony as part of plea offers.

    ReplyDelete
  92. To 7:22. The point is the patronage that KCCP can dole out is almost non existent compared to what it used to be. So that means that capable people no longer go to them for favors, they can’t even get any filing jobs at the DA Office anymore. People who can get stuff done no longer go to the Conservatives for favors. They got exposed in the Quaglione race when Kassar and Long put their full muscle behind Liam and he got crushed. It’s true they took over the Brooklyn GOP but there are no spoils left, so while Craig hangs with influential people who can get people real jobs in the real world Jerry has to feel important by promising part time jobs to people who couldn’t get hired at Walmart.

    ReplyDelete
  93. I haven't seen Eaton at any real Bay Ridge events in months...poor craig.

    ReplyDelete
  94. While people knock Eaton and Capano on this blog, they live their lives in the real world private sectors, working with influential people, have significant roles in politics behind the scenes, while watching the demise of the Brooklyn Conservative Party and the rise of the Brooklyn Reform Party.

    ReplyDelete
  95. Jerry couldn't leave well enough alone and had to remove Bob from his position as Steve Saperstein's campaign manager. Now look.

    Ahahahah

    ReplyDelete
  102. Gail, you do know don't you that Luthmann was handed his walking papers by the Reform Party. So you really aren't helping helping your friends, Capano and Sliwa, or Eaton and Catsimatidis even a little bit by attempting to carry Luthmann's water for him.
    The buzz is that Capano wants you to drop what your trying to do for Luthmann. so why are you pretending that you haven't heard that?

    ReplyDelete
  103. Damn it..every time I count Capano out, he comes back..I just noticed his Facebook timeline..almost 300 sending him birthday messages including Democrats like Joe Bova and Khader El Yateem., conservatives like Fran Vella Marrone..Republicans like Craig Eaton, Steve Saperstein and Joe Kovac, reporter's like Andrea Peyser of the Post and Helen Klein...I guess people still respect Bob despite what Kassar and Q may say..

    No pretending at this end. Bob Capano and I don't roll that way, and I haven't heard that he cares what I do vis a vis Richard Luthmann one way or the other.

    As for helping anybody with the Luthmann stuff on this site --- I don't believe that I have, one way or the other, I just reported things the way they looked to me and one of my top BSIs who seems very interested in all of it for emotional reasons. I think it might be a hormone imbalance.....

    Rose Marie Mazetta performed in the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and even into the 2000s --- yes, that's nine (9) decades..... Some say that she is the last surviving performer who had a charted hit before WW-II.

    To show some of the performing heights that she achieved, she toured the country for many years as one of the "4 Girls 4" retro-show with big-band singing stars Rosemary Clooney, Margaret Whiting, and Helen O'Connell.....

    Al Capone was one of her patrons; as was Bugsy Siegel, who brought her to Las Vegas very early on.

  120. Mazetta.

    Wasn't she Frank Santos co leader in the 49th ?

    ReplyDelete
  121. Santos co leader was Rinaldi. Mazetta was Sergys co leader. Never knew she spent time in Vegas.

  123. ANOTHER RIP: THE "'DARTS KING' OF TIMBOO'S" EDITION

    ANOTHER OLD FRIEND RECENTLY CAUGHT UP TO THE BIG PARADE FOR 2017 AND JOINED THE LINE OF MARCH** NOT TOO LONG AGO

    He was very good at darts and represented the old bar, Timboo's in the South Slope on 5th Avenue.....

    If Margo Price were to dedicate one of her songs to this guy, she'd have to add a stanza about this: "If you're hurtin' on the bottle..... the bottle will do some hurtin' on you....."

  125. Bike lanes are not exactly popular with Martys base. Is your goal to get him re-elected?

    ReplyDelete
  126. Why is nothing in The Wall Street Journal about Chairman of The Board Capanos birthday?

  128. Happy Belated Birthday Chairman, and Reform Party Candidate for NYS Governor.

    ReplyDelete
  129. The Republican and Conservative party will be on their knees begging to get in on the ground floor of Governor Capanos run. Kassar already learned what happens to those who defy the Chairman.

    ReplyDelete
  130. Events are shaping up for Cuomo to announce hes stepping down and make way for the Chairman. Cuomo can read the writing on the walls.

    ReplyDelete
  131. we love you governor Capano

    ReplyDelete
  132. Even if Capano does not win..he will be a hero for getting the 50,000 votes to keep the Reform Party on the ballot throughout NYS for the next 4 years..now imagine if he gets more votes than the conservative candidate for Governor, then the Reform Party is ahead of the conservative party on all ballots across the state..now that would be big

  133. If Capano runs for Governor he Will dominate all Brooklyn local papers for the next year!! Bay Ridge's Favorite Son Running for Governor

  138. Happy Belated Birthday Gubernatorial Candidate Capano. I can't wait to see you in debates against Cuomo around NYS. You will make Bay Ridge proud. Kassar and Ghorra will not be happy campers

  139. RESPONSE: THE "SILLY TALK" EDITION

    TO: SEVERAL OF THE COMMENTERS ABOVE

    ISN'T ANY TALK ABOUT BOB CAPANO'S RUNNING AS THE REFORM PARTY'S OR ANYBODY ELSE'S CANDIDATE TO RUN FOR GOVERNOR AGAINST DEMOCRAT INCUMBENT ANDREW CUOMO JUST A WASTE OF TIME AND BREATH ?????

    Life is too short.....

    So, any mention of Capano's possibly running for governor from this point forward will be "deep-sixed" from this blog ASAP >>> unless and until >>> it has been demonstrated to our satisfaction ( me and my closest BSIs ) that a Bob Capano candidacy for Governor of the State of New York in 2018 has any credibility whatsoever.

    ReplyDelete
  140. Talk about Capano running for ANYTHING is a waste of time and breath.

    Even on Staten Island, where he really lives.

  144. Good move Gale..this blog should never mention Capano again...add Eaton also Gale!! They are both non entities on Brooklyn and NY politics..

    ReplyDelete
  145. Nice point 6:42.

    However, in Brooklyn politics the entire GOP is a non entity.

    ReplyDelete
  146. Gale has seen the light!!

    ReplyDelete
  147. Bye bye Capano, Eaton

    ReplyDelete
  148. The big announcement Cats was planning is next year he'll have a float in the Macys Thanksgiving Day parade and Capano will be the float.

    ReplyDelete
  149. Capano, Eaton, and Catsamatedes..the 3 most irrelevant people in Brooklyn politics..that's why they only stay in Manhattan. .

    ReplyDelete
  150. I haven't seen Capano or Eaton in Bay Ridge in months...

    ReplyDelete
  151. I haven't seen McCabe in Brooklyn since his primary loss

    ReplyDelete
  152. If Catsimatidis were irrelevant he wouldn't have Ted Ghorra begging his daughter to arrange a meeting. Even Ted realizes his days as Chair are numbered unless he literally lets Jerry run every facet of the Brooklyn GOP.

    ReplyDelete
  153. All of the above are irrelevant. Being the "chair" hasnt mattered since rockefeller left for D.C.

    ReplyDelete
  154. Correction 9:06. Rockefeller never thought the GOP chair mattered but I hear Grover Cleveland did.

    ReplyDelete
  155. One thing is for sure..Chairmen Capano and former Chairman Eaton don't matter

    ReplyDelete
  156. Capano...just go away!!!

    ReplyDelete
  157. The gravy train from KCCP party has departed and is not coming back. That's why panic has set in.

  158. President Capano 2020

  159. Nobody cares about Capano..he does not live in Brooklyn, has no support, has no friends

    ReplyDelete
  160. I care about capano. I care about brooklyn. I care about america.

  161. Why is the political establishment in Brooklyn attacking Capano???

    ReplyDelete
  162. "political establishment"?
