Pedro G. Espada and dad Pedro Espada Jr., holding another future public servant
He's not replacing anybody; it's a newly created position that pays $120,000 a year. Pedro G. is not to be confused with Espada's other son Alejandro, who runs one of his father's controversial health clinics and recently admitted to roughing up a reporter. No, this Espada spawn is a former Bronx assemblyman and City Council member (though his Facebook page says his employer is Soundview Health Center).
You'll now be paying him to help out Indira Noel, who actually earns less as the Senate's $118,000-a-year director of intergovernmental relations. Last month Noel pleaded guilty to criminal possession of a forged instrument, and we sure hope her bad behavior doesn't rub off on Pedro G.!

Obama likes Felix the Cat. Time for me to do my happy dance.
oh wait, columnist compared Obama to Felix the cat. Don't know how to feel.
Reading comprehension fail.
Any single intelligent thought ever fail.
Say the lazy dumb MTA worker who is committing worker comp fraud. Hello MTA, look at your payroll, he been out for months for a finger and is working on the side.
Workers' compensation fraud creates a drain on our economy. I just send them your comments and hope they find you
What the hell Felix. Now people are starting to ask questions from the MTA you idiot!!! Dam those geese to hell!!!
What'cha got in your bag of tricks?lol
My question: Will there be a coup for Pedro G. to be the director of intergovernmental relations?
Yes and the salary will obviously go up. That little kid will take the position of deputy. If that happens, I've heard rumors that he plans to give all four of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles various assistant positions. Cowabunga!
anythings possible in ~*BIZARRO ALBANY*~
How do these people get elected.
The media can only acknowledge two parties. So voters unwittingly think they can only choose between... "red" trash or "blue" trash.
It's trash either way.

Love Story of Elephant and Espada
bollocks
for serious
The Deputy Director of Intergovernmental Relations??
AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
I want to kill Pedro Espada more and more every single day. I want to grease the tracks of the 4 train with his guts and use his blood to paint the line down the center of Jerome Avenue. I want to entomb him in concrete. I want Laurence Olivier to drill his teeth. I hate him more than I can really say.
Yes, I've officially stopped feeling bad that the first thing I think whenever I see the name "Espada" is DIE!!!!
Entombing in concrete would be good too. You could mount the concrete in the middle of Albany as a warning to all corrupt politicians.
You can make it in the shape of a fire hydrant so every dog in Albany can piss on it.
Just knock him senseless and toss him onto the Cross Bronx Expressway. Let the semis turn him into a 120 mile long "erasure" all the way to R.I. After all, his filth gets dragged that many miles North-South, it might as well go East-West.
And yet people still keep voting for Democrats:
Hillary Clinton - I'm only NY Senator until I can get something better.
Eliot Spitzer - I can have fun with whores, but it's illegal for you to do it.
Chuckles Rangel - I can rent four rent stabilized apartments for my personal use.
Wait, how are the Repooplicans any different?
Chuckles Rangel - I can rent four rent stabilized apartments for my personal use.
You left out cheating on his taxes.
See, This is the problem. Politicians LOVE,LOVE when people starting blaming one side over the another. It lets the energy go back and forth between them.
Republicans aren't any better than Democrats. Both parties are self-centered pricks who care about their welfare of their own needs.
Exactly. Repooplicans, Democunts...the only people they care about are themselves.
Both parties are self-centered pricks who care about their welfare of their own needs.
I agree. I was merely pointing out the truth about Rangel. Doesn't mean I think one side is better than the other. I wonder why you jumped to that conclusion. . .
You left out cheating on his taxes.
I left it out because that's a requirement to become a Democratic politician.
honestlty we need a new form of goverment - fck this representive shit - lets have referedums on everything - with technology a better democracy is possible. imagine a world with no politicians.
Goddamnit. Fuck Pedro Espada. When is this piece of shit criminal going to face the music? He is why people hate government. And his shit's for sons should go to prison with him. Fuck each and every Espada.
I feel physically ill whenever I see this douche's face or his name in print. How the fuk does he get away with this shit? I've not hated a politician like this since rick santorum, and he was nothing compared to this slime-infested fuck-stick.
Is a "forged instrument" like the ring of power?
I'm torn between being outraged at the blatant corruption of NY politicians, and feeling like a fool for being shocked that Albany is anything but a moneypit cesspool.
This is what it means to exist as a sane New Yorker--accepting that your are a fool for electing corrupt clowns, and knowing that you are participating in that process every couple of years.
It's a goddamn circus. They're your hired clowns.
shameless:(adj) unblushing (feeling no shame)
Time to blow up Albany.
Ha! When I saw the picture next to the headline, I thought the story would be about the 4-year-old kid he's holding. I mean, really, nothing would surprise me with this guy.
Figure A in the Corruption Handbook. Caption reads "Nepotism is acceptable and necessary to get rich and stay in power".
i hate it, i hate it, i hate.
I just went on Pedro Espada's senate website to send a message expressing my displeasure and the captcha was "duped at." I then clicked on contact the senate and the captcha was "Miss untruths."
If they'd just undo NY electoral law, and allow free elections... just that...
i hate his hair, i hate his fake smile, i even hate that vacant-looking baby.
You know what -- I hate the baby too. And I hate Espada's son, his wife, his siblings, cousins, aunts and uncles, mom and dad, friends and anyone who's ever been nice to him in his whole miserable scummy life. I hate his barber, plumber, dry cleaner and and whoever washes his car. I hate the baby's friends too, and their parents and siblings. I hate the god who made the air molecules that allow Pedro Espada to draw breath every day.
Poetry!
So... which one's the dad and which one's the son?
Its just a matter of time for Espada to be caught red-handed doing something wrong: he's not very bright.
