City Controller Alan Hevesi yesterday endorsed Assemblywoman Deborah Glick for Manhattan borough president taking sides in a primary that has split the Democratic Party's gay and black constituencies.

The move came just two days after Hevesi endorsed Brooklyn Assemblyman Roger Green, who is black, in Green's longshot bid to oust Public Advocate Mark Green in the Democratic primary.

Obviously that’s the most important thing for the author of the article.
Not for rational people.
Hevesi is released from jail. His son, Andrew Hevesi, is a Queens Assemblyman.

Glick appealed to the Jewish voters Hevesi depended on in NYC.
Glick lost because she looked like Ellen had a baby with a Keebler Elf, because she lacked the foresight to make her campaign slogan “Pick Glick” and because there were way more Blacks than lesbians in Manhattan.
