“So, if the term mafia is offensive to anyone, I offer my apology.”

That’s no apology. The term is offensive to EVERYbody, including members of the mob. Sheesh.

[Red Badger]

Yes, I imagine the Mafia was quite insulted.................

[econjack]

Between making stupid statements like this or taking photos of themselves nude and emailing them, I think the Dems need to invest in some steel-toed shoes so they can stop shooting themselves in the foot.

[RC one]

FU Diane.

[StormEye]

"Spurred in part by an Advance editorial that criticized her, state Sen. Diane Savino (D-North Shore/Brooklyn) today apologized for referring to Tea Party members as "the new mafia" on her personal Facebook page."

They're afraid of the TEA Party. These shyster Democrat party politicians know they are in the TEA Party's and the people's sights.

[Vaquero]

Hey fugetabout it.......

maybe we should check your family history Miz.Savino from Brooklyn.

[RexBeach]

An apology is unqualified - no ifs, ands or buts.

This is a qualification, not an apology.

[Liberty Valance]

I hope the dems keep the Tea Party bashing going. I’m reminded how all the Sarah Palin bashing worked out for them.

[Sooth2222]

I liked Tony Soprano! Democrat politicians, on the other hand...

[Repeal 16-17]

Put this State Senator’s comment with that of an “addiction specialist” today on MSNBC who diagnosed Tea Partiers as mentally ill and potentially violent. Liberals are losing control and so they can’t help themselves in showing how much they loathe the Tea Party.

[calex59]

So, the stupid bit** must have realized, somehow, that the tea party movement is comprised of millions of voters, it is not some fringe group they can turn the majority of Americans against.

[A_Former_Democrat]

Mafia, terrorists . . . the New Civility . .as lectured to the rest of us by the Democrats and the Lapdog MSM back in January.

Congrats, Diane. A true role model for the rest of us. Thank God we have such maturity and intelligence in your Party to keep the rest of us commoners in line

[Doc Savage]

I’m taking to the mattresses!!!! We’ll get ... at the toll-booth!

[lonevoice]

Geesh, if I add Chrissie Matthews “baby-kidnapping” to my tagline, I won’t have enough room to add Savino’s “mafioso”.

If I could, it would look like this:

Ms. Savino, IF the terms, 'leftist, partisan, scum-sucking, mouth-breathing and deranged', are offensive when referring to you, then I apologize.

[yetidog]

I am not a member of any Tea Party, I am not an activist, I cannot be counted in that percentage of folks who self-identity with the Teas Party movement. But I am seething, will likely become more active, and am sympathetic to the Tea Party. And I suspect there are 10s of millions like me. I don’t think the left and the MSM can even imagine how many.

[YHAOS]

"Sen. Diane Savino (D-North Shore/Brooklyn) today apologized for referring to Tea Party members as "the new mafia" on her personal Facebook page."

Well yes, Ms. Savino, abject fear does addle one's judgment.

[Gator113]

I am sick of this nonsense coming from our fantasy “leaders”.

She doesn’t need to apologize, it’s not accepted by me.

She is unfit for the job.... she needs to resign.

[RJS1950]

Shove it bitch; it was a non-apology. I have more respect for the mafia criminals than any democrat criminal living or dead.

FUBO & FAD

[liberalh8ter]

“I offer my apology” is not the same thing as “I’m sorry” and I doubt very highly she is.
