De Blasio: Sheldon Silver is a man of integrity
By Michael Gartland
Mayor de Blasio said Thursday that he knows Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver to be a man of integrity and rejected calls for him to step down from his leadership post while facing corruption charges. Although the charges announced today certainly are very serious I want to note that Ive always known Shelly Silver to be a man of integrity and he certainly has due process rights and I think its important that we let the judicial process play out, the mayor said at City Hall.

In other words, its OK to be on the take as long as you’re a Democrat and thus, are “for the little guy.”

...I think its important that we let the judicial process play out... Unless it's a white cop accused of killing a black man, right De-Blow-see-o?

I was willing to give Sheldon the benefit of the doubt until that endorsement.

Well, let’s put it this way. Sheldon Silver is a corrupt man of integrity. That is, he can be relied on by his leftie pals always to be correctly corrupt.
Never does he fail to grease a palm that needs it.

Where’s Eliot Spitzer and Tony Wiener to round out the character witnesses for Shelly ?

Yep, he’s a real piece of work this moron and he’s only been in office for a year. They picked a real doozy with this guy.

In other words, let's stall until we can find a judge to bribe to get all this unpleasantness to go away.

When you have sold your soul to be a Dem Socialist and have lived your whole life in a corrupt political state, notions of integrity can become very different from what Freepers and honorable Americans consider to be integrity. For NY Dems, like Argentinian, Tanzanian, or Zimbabwean gov’t officials, bribery and graft are considered normal compensation. It is the reason these people aspire to political careers.
Citizens are to be used. They are merely a resource. You abuse their rights creatively (NY Safe Act) then you seek to run for President. You charge them big dollar fees (Silver) for political access because you are the big cheese in state gov’t. You send big dollar grants and fees to political supporters by hiring them for projects (all of them) or skew laws specifically for your buddies and supporters (all of them) while lots of NY’ers scrounge for work and pay record high taxes. The typical NY’er shrugs and ignores it if in NYC because they get huge salaries. The NY’ers outside NYC live in an economy resembling that of Eastern Europe before the wall came down.
