Hot-headed state Sen. Kevin Parker was stripped of his high-ranking leadership position in Albany yesterday after his arrest for attacking a Post photographer.

Senate Majority Leader Malcolm Smith took away the Brooklyn Democrat's role as majority whip, along with his chairmanship of the Energy Committee, as a result of the unprovoked assault.

This isn't keeping with the party line of tolerance and open-mindedness. (Sarc).

"Oh no it's Mr. Sluggo, he's going to be mean to me."

This is the clown that not to long ago, punched a staffer of his in the face. When asked why he did it, he said well she started it. Typical Dem.

[M-cubed]

Sounds like a “Hate Crime” to me!

Sluggo...he's a good dog.

The bedraggled public servant was dressed in the same silver tunic and matching pants he'd been wearing the night before.

A tunic? Does he think he's Julius Caesar or something?

Ah, c’mon—”they” are just picking on him because of his race. After all, look what teddy got away with. /s

[Moltke]

Going by earlier reports, this means he’ll lose that $22k p.a. majority whip perk. Given his financial troubles, this translates to yet another inflated ego circling the drain...good riddance and don’t forget to add some Drano.

This thug, Parker, has a habit of punching out someone, then weaseling out by blaming someone else.

(1) Last year, Parker allegedly clocked aide Lucretia John, 32, and crushed her glasses with his foot after she told him she couldn't work for him anymore. John filed a complaint, but vengeful Parker filed a cross-complaint hours later, claiming John had punched him. In the press, Parker dumped on John......accused her of being lazy and slow to learn. Parker was never charged. "Lucretia is not surprised to hear that it happened again," said her lawyer, Daniel Alterman, yesterday. "It's remarkably similar to what happened to her -- he tried to blame her for what happened."

(2) In 2005, Parker allegedly punched a traffic officer over a $55 double-parking ticket. He was slapped with 3rd-degree assault charges, which were dropped when he agreed to undergo anger-management classes. He blamed the victim, claiming the officer was "overzealous" and made too much of their altercation.

(3) Around the same time, another of Parker's former aides came forward to say that she'd been choked by Parker in a shouting match. She complained to then-Senate leader David Paterson but nothing came of it. Yesterday, Gov. Paterson said he didn't know enough about the incident to comment.

====================================

Parker's aide complained to then-Senate leader David Paterson about it but nothing came of it----sounds like the familiar corrupt Albany MO. Young women told Speaker Silver that his aide was drugging and raping young female interns. Nothing was ever done. The women did not give up---Silver's aide was later charged and lost his job.

Parker's aides deserve justice.....they should take this further. Patterson is also guilty b/c he knew crimes were being committed and did nothing.

VIOLENT DEADBEAT Property records show Parker bought a one-family, brick row house Dec 2006 for $610,000, borrowing $488,000 from New Century Mortgage Corporation. New Century folded, and unloaded the loan onto DLJ Mortgage Capital, which claims it received only its first eight monthly payments of $3,329.20 each.

Court records show no response from Parker, who earns a $79,500 base salary plus an extra $22,000 for being the Senate majority whip........

CONFLICT OF INTEREST The pol is an advocate of foreclosure relief, sending out a press release last summer announcing his backing of "Operation Protect Your Home," a cooperative effort by government and lenders to try to keep homeowners from losing their properties.
