It always smelled unseemingly. Let's kick Sabini upstairs to a bureacratic post to make room for Monserrate to run unopposed for state senate. This is a guy the Queens democratic organization was eagerly and unanimously backing even after two separate scandals arose involving improper (and if anyone even bothered to deeply investigate, probably illegal) funnelling of earmarked money to cronies and political operatives. The fish gave off a stench but our local pols only smelled roses. Now he's become Hiram the slasher, the guy who not only assaults his g.f. but then also endangers her by taking her to a distant hospital rather than one blocks away, one, incidentally, which is reputed to have an excellent emergency room. Remember when we had our so-called "community meeting" on crime at the Jewish center? Walk in and you see a huge banner, HIRAM MONSERRATE. Stay and listen, and you see this "community" meeting is no more than a self-serving opportunity for Hiram and his local pol pals to fluff up their feathers. Queens Democratic politics needs reform. It's stale. No wonder Hiram sought a State senate seat. Albany is a cesspool where pols go to wallow in the muck, immune to reality. Everyone talks about fixing the economy. But the economy goes south because we elect negligent and corrupt pols who don't look after our real interests. We elect sleazy bullies like Monserrate instead of... At least (let's cross our fingers) we seemed to get the White House right.
