Several weeks ago extremely influential New York State lawmaker Dov Hikind, who serves with fellow Democrat David Weprin in the State Assembly, announced that he would not endorse Mr. Weprin in his race to replace disgraced Congressman Anthony Weiner (D-New York).

To be fair, this is a story of note.

I would spend more time plugging my website, if I had been doing more work to update it.

Which shamefully, I haven't.

:/

BTW, did anyone catch the Weprin-Turner debate on WOR yesterday?

I know a lot of people plan on boycotting 710 after what they did to Steve Malzberg, but it was worth listening to in that instance.

It is specifically because this story is newsworthy that it’s shameful to excerpt it for hits rather than engaging in open discussion right here on FR.

The Host has provided a great forum for discussion, but the parasite seeks to set the terms.

Good point.

It might also have been posted to FR earlier, although I did a search for "Dov Hikind" and didn't find an article about the endorsement.

WOR can screw. Malzberg was the best thing they had and now they want us to listen to a disgraced Gov? Baloney.

Yes. Hadn’t seen a thing about it before. The knives are out in this race.

>>> WOR can screw. Malzberg was the best thing they had and now they want us to listen to a disgraced Gov?

The drinking I did on my last big gig
made my voice go low
They said that they liked they younger sound
when they let me go

So I drifted on down to Tulsa, Oklahoma
To do me a late night talk show
Now I worked my way back home again
via Boise, Idhao
That’s how this business goes

I agree.

I have nothing against David Patterson-I actually think he was better than his replacement, but replacing Steve Malzberg was the biggest mistake that station has ever made, IMO.
