"Sheldon Silver’s arrest sends Albany into a state of panic"

Shouldn't only the corrupt politicians be the ones filling their adult diapers? Or did I miss something interesting?

Or, is it that 80% of government has grown completely corrupt, from the local-level pols padding their retirement accounts, to the highest levels of national politicians stealing everything they can get their grubhooks on? Start feeding that little popcorn-eater nails, when he starts spitting bullets, we'll send him to DC...

You don't understand how it works in New York. Democrats in the State Assembly didn't vote how their districts wanted them to, they voted how Shelly Silver told them to vote. Many a local Democrat assemblyman sold his soul to Silver , and even occasionally faced grief in their home district for their votes on gun control and gay marriage due to Sheldon Silvers commands. All that was promised them for doing so, apparently is going up in smoke. The house of cards is collapsing. Hence, a state of panic.

Well now, that would be virtually all of them now wouldn’t it! If we jailed all the corrupt folks in government, we’d have to rent all of Cuba and expand Gitmo in order to house them.
