its a damn shame

Weiner is a fierce defender of liberal American principles and a staunch advocate for the less powerful, but the guy has serious self control issues. Too bad, if he exercised more control over his impulses he would have made a great mayor.

are you kidding?

Gillibrand is mediocre at best. As hard as it is to pick a Bostonian over a new yorker, by far the best potential candidate is Liz Warren. If she chooses not to run, then Biden is my choice. Even if we have to scrape the bottom of the barrel, Hillary is still better than anyone in the gop. And she is better than gillibrand

lol @ the rantings of a paulbot

Firstly the patriot act was passed under bush. Secondly are you really saying that protestors were never arrested under any previous president? Thirdly the ows kids are an important part of Obama's base what incentive would he have for mistreating them.

By the way I'm betting you are a Zimmerman apologist.

And as for what was and was not made legal, neither Obama nor any other president can change a single law. That's reserved for congress. And your rightwing pals control congress right now.

Well the house anyway but that will change after next years elelction

The only people you are fooling are those who want to be fooled. To the rest of us your intent is crystal clear. You may not like that the Black guy is a two term president but that's just too damned
bad now isn't it?

Oh and just because I know how you will take the news Africa is now the fastest growing continent in the world economically and demographically. And since 2011 more minority babies were born in the us than white babies. And our next president will either be Joe Biden (third term for Obama's policies) or we will put a woman in the White house. Something I know good ol teaparty boys like yourself will love. Haha.
The world has changed my rightwing tinfoil hat wearing friend. And the pace of change is accelerating.
Enjoy.

why are you feeding the troll? are you witb him or her?

why are some on the left so eager to. believe that "this time the right will act reasonably"

They won't. In fact despite Mr Krugman's impressive clutching at straws, the right is getting more insane not less.

de blasio wIll never be our mayor

Joan Walsh is ok as far as limousine liberals go but she is clueless as to how we live here in nyc. She is one of those types that only sets foot in queens if she is going to the airport and doesn't go to Brooklyn or the Bronx for ANY reason. Hell, I would be suprised if she has ever been north of 96 th street in Manhattan.

I like her comments on national politics but she should really leave nyc politics to real new Yorkers. Bill Thompson is the peoples choice. And most of us would pick Weiner scandal and all over Di blasio or Quinn.

hillary's name doesnt belong in that sentence.

Wtf has she ever done for anyone but herself?

how is nsa spying illegal?

If you don't like the patriot act, good for you. Get your congressman to repeal it. But making false claims that there is something illegal going on doesn't help your case.

Lies are usually the telltale sign of a teabagger.

there is an ugly strain of racism on du

By no means is it as virulent or as intense as the stench of racism coming from the baggers but Its therre nonetheless.
I know Some of the comments so ready to heap all blame on the sole minority juror is coming from trolls, Some but not all. Get it together folks.

kentuck, are you mitch mcconnell?
