A Different Tea Party 

 What is Happening in the 9th is a Tea Party with voters who share democratic values.  If the NYT and others lump it in with the right wing tea party they will drive the voters in the 9th out of the Democratic Party.  If the Democratic Party remains a incumbent party using big money to try to control the voters (400,000 spent by Weprin this weekend) they will see more rebellions beyond the 9th.  One Corrupt Political Boss Will Pick the Next Congressman(True News)

NYT: Writes More Campaign Lit for Weprin

The Old Gray Lady only wishes that the election were taken place in Manhattan were they people read their paper and their political treatment works.  As far as the masses in the 9th, it seem not only the NYT but the Democratic elected officials have facing a revolt.  A sort of Arab Spring in Brooklyn and Queens.  A revolt against the democratic party leaders, not an acceptance of the GOP right wing values.  Siena College Poll: The Special Election is A Chance For Voters in A District That is 4 to 1 Democratic to register their unhappiness with the national economic and political climate. The poll, found that 54 percent of likely voters in the district had an unfavorable view of Mr. Obama.

Manhattan DA Moves to Protect the Mayor's Team Others Believe the Highly Political Manhattan Courts Will Also

Campaign hangover  Bloomberg campaign aide John Haggerty’s larceny trial formally gets under way next week, but the prosecution seems more inclined to protect the mayor’s reputation than to allow Haggerty to mount a positive defense. A Tale Of Two Cys: Colin v Haggerty (Stone Zone)

Only the NYP is Pushing To Get the Haggerty Story Out: What is Going On Between Bloomberg and Murdoch?

Last week, Assistant DA Eric Seidel reportedly wrote to Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Ronald Zweibel asking that Haggerty be blocked from claiming that his use of the campaign funds was in line with similar arrangements that the free-spending Bloomberg re-election effort had with other third-party operatives -- including Bloomberg’s foundation.  Haggerty evidently wants to get the mayor and high-ranking aides -- such as Deputy Mayor Patti Harris and former Deputy Mayor Kevin Sheekey -- under oath to shed light on the campaign’s structure.

 THE FBI secretly listened in on veteran state Sen. Carl Kruger (D-Brooklyn) speaking "baby talk" with an "initimate associate" during a lengthy corruption probe.  Kruger, Turano and six others were charged last April in what Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara called a wide-ranging bribery scheme. Kruger and Turano have pleaded not guilty and await trial.

"Kruger and gynecologist Michael Turano sometimes spoke to one another in baby talk."  In one chat, Turano recounted Kruger telling him he fell in love with him the first time they met at Brooklyn's Thomas Jefferson political club. "From the day I walked into the TJ club, you loved me and you wanted me," Turano says.
