john liu rocks. i don't think he took this matter on because he felt like it and it was out of his district; i think it started when he became involved when hot 97 put out that nasty tsunami song and he worked with diff groups on the issue. asian councilman, standing up, speaking out for his peoples at the time. it looks like his work around that just snowballed and led him to this...

He's the real deal, no Al Sharpton. Did Al go to Bronx Science? He's not a city hall insider like many and he'll serve this city well. This city should be proud to have a man like him.

Councilman Liu is ALWAYS on NY1. He's a nice guy but he's definitely positioning himself for mayor.

Bronx Science vs. whatever school DJ star graduated from. This is like the lawsuit from a guy who's suing Nike and Michael Jordon because he looks like Jordan and it's causing his life grief. OK, not like it but you get my drift.

Coucilman Liu wants to become Mayor Liu. He seems to pop up at various things unrelated to his district and gets on TV for it.

The terms "glass houses" and "BURN!!!" come to mind. What a maroon.

"Self-promotion and aggrandizement"? If that isn't an ironic accusation, I don't know what is. I guess Torain never heard the old proverb about people in glass houses. With luck, that scumbag will never work in broadcasting again in this or any other town.

I love Liu's comment in the daily news: "We would much rather he go after me than 4-year-old girls" Those some battlin' words!

In an odd twist, Torain then turned around and sued himself, finding that aggrandizement and self-promotion were ground for suit.

OK, how bout DJ Star release his SAT scores and Councilman John Liu release his? The higher one wins.

Can't say I feel sorry for Torain.

His constituents listen to that plinky chinese music. They've never heard of Power 105.
