Remember when State Sen. Hiram Monserrate (D-Queens) was charged with allegedly assaulting his girlfriend so badly that she had a black eye and stitches? That was last December, and the next month, the State Senate stripped him of the extra money he received for chairing the Consumer Protection Committee and of the chairmanship itself. Monserrate was later indicted on felony assault charges (also maintaining his innocence), but that doesn't matter to the State Senate: The Daily News reports that his chairmanship and $12,500/year chairman's stipend was "quietly reinstated...State Senate sources say the check was cut after Monserrate was secretly reappointed to his position as chairman of the Consumer Protection Committee. Sources said the move to reinstate him was likely part of the deal to bring the Queens Democrat back into the fold after he sided with Republicans in the June 8 coup that paralyzed the Senate for a month." Excuse us—we need to take a shower.

You fucking scumbag Monserrate!
Let's vote all of these assholes out!
I'd take a rookie over any of these scumbags.
Someone should start a website with documentation of all the elected officials involved in this shit spo we can all vote against them next time!
Sadly, what are NY democrat voters going to do? Vote for Republicans who are equally as shady/dirty? Unless there's a huge movement to vote 3rd party, all these jokers will remain in their positions and nothing will change.
NY politics is a cesspool within a cesspool, swirling towards certain oblivion.
well, if you're vote is going to be wasted on scum regardless of democrat or republican, why not just vote third party anyways? nothing will change if you're still willing to vote for trash
Voting for 3rd party is unamerican.
I'm ready to vote for ANYONE over the current incumbents.
I don't care. I think a common person would do a better job.
I think I'm going to be sick. I'm for a full boycott of incumbents on the upcoming election.
That's exactly what I am talking about. Someone has to be documenting who the incumbents are so that we all remember when it comes time to pull the levers.
Anyone good with the internets?
Now's about the time when a citizens referendum for single-term term limits for the State Senate would look really good. Too bad this ain't California.
Everyone of you idiots will re-elect your local politician. Monserratte will get 97% of the vote in his district if he is not in prison come next November.
What kind of dope needs the "internets" to figure out whom the incumbent low life is ???
You idiots like to blame everyone except your local scumbagg that promises you crumbs for your local hood. The NYC council is 51-3 dominated by Democraps. The NYS Assembly is 110-40 dominated by the Democraps the Senate is 32-30 Democraps and the govenor is another Dope. So just STFU and accept what you asses vote for and demand.
These rich rats will do whatever the fuk they want and you jerks will pay the freight and build their fortunes. Let me say it again... STFU
Up yours.
No doubt he'll protect the consumer the way he protects his girlfriends...
