About a dozen FBI and IRS agents and investigators from the attorney general's office appeared Wednesday at the Soundview Healthcare Network in the Bronx, where a big canopy above the front door lists Sen. Pedro Espada Jr. as its president and CEO.....

A New York politician mis-using and stealing public money?

Why, that’s almost UNHEARD OF!

I’m shocked... truly I am...

Well, since the article does not give his party affiliation four times in the first paragraph, there’s a 99.99% chance he’s a (D).

hm... lets see... a politician is found to be a criminal, and the press doesn't mention what party he belongs to...

Take a guess what party he belongs to?

Yes, that appears to be the secret decoder ring. If it was a Repub, the affiliation would be in the title of the article.

This AP article hits new heights in trying to obfuscate the party affiliation of the misceant Pedro Espada. Nowhere does it say that Espada is a Dem but it does say: "Espada was a leader of a Republican-backed coup last summer that Espada claims is motivating Cuomo's lawsuit."

Yup, he’s a Democrat — it’s right there in paragraph 18. But he was also a Republican for a short time, so naturally that’s mentioned first.

No mention of party affiliation in the first two paragraphs of an article about political corruption. That means it is a Dem.

Hey Al, if he was a Republican it would have been mentioned in the headline in bold lettering!

It is apparent from the fact they didn’t put it in the headlines or mention it in the first paragraph that the guy is obviously a Dimwit.
