[You Dirty Rats]

The ruling was hailed by Newark Mayor Sharpe James, whose city is planning a $550 million, 2,000-condominium project on a 13-acre parcel that was declared blighted for eminent domain purposes in November. "Our Mulberry Street project is a clear example of the Supreme Court ruling where the future of the city is more important than private profit motivations," James said in a statement.

So a poor homeowner whose property is taken by force is guilty of private profit motivations (even if he/she didn't want to sell), but a condo developer is a selfless champion of the city who won't make any money???

I nominate the above quote as the absolute worst we've seen so far coming out of this decision. What crass nerve!

In Sharpe James' defense, he probably couldn't think straight with all the racket the cash registers in his head were making.

Sharpe James could give the Clintons lessons in corruption. He's the Babe Ruth of living large on the public dime.
