I’m thinking about opening a political consulting business — Cincinnatus & Associates.  I saw mustardstreet had a link to a City News piece pointing out the problems of local Democrats being tied to Sheldon Silver and the dysfunction of Albany.

It seemed to me that I’d seen someone else make that point.  Let’s see who was it?  Oh wait that was me, on July 20 of this year.

Here it is once again for your reading enjoyment:

This year’s county legislature races will be interesting once things heat up.  There is one question Democrats are going to have to figure out:  how can they criticize Republicans on their alleged political abuses when they are led by Joe Morelle and Harry Bronson?

Morelle is the Monroe County Democratic Chairman and a state Assemblyman and Harry Bronson works for Assemblymember Susan John.  Both Morelle and John are among the most loyal supporters of Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver. Up until six months ago, it could be argued that Sheldon Silver was the poster boy for what is wrong with state government.  Fortunately for Morelle and Bronson, the Senate Democrats have replaced Silver in this role.

None the less, it’s going to be hard to make the case that you’re going to clean up county government when you’ve spend the better part of your career enabling Speaker Silver, a man who makes county Republicans look like boy scouts. 

Just thought we would start the week off with a reality check!
