Brooklyn Senator Expected to Plead Guilty in Corruption Case
By WILLIAM K. RASHBAUM and BENJAMIN WEISER
Published: December 19, 2011

State Senator Carl Kruger was expected to plead guilty on Tuesday to federal corruption charges that he accepted at least $1 million in bribes to finance a lavish lifestyle, including a large home in Mill Basin, Brooklyn, where he lived with two gynecologist brothers and their mother, according to several people briefed on the case.

One of the brothers, Michael Turano, who was also charged in the corruption case unveiled in the spring, was expected to plead guilty along with Mr. Kruger, the people who were briefed said. Recorded conversations between the two men revealed that they were intimate companions.

Mr. Kruger, an influential Democrat and 16-year legislator, was expected to plead guilty to four of the five counts in the indictment, according to two of the people. The charges include fraud conspiracy, for which he could face up to 20 years in prison, and bribery conspiracy, which carries a maximum term of five years.

Wasn’t Carl Kruger one of the NY State Senate Dems who opposed same-sex marriage but later changed his mind and voted for it?

I looked it up; yes, he was: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Kruger

Wikipedia also cites a New York Times article that claims that, until Kruger did a 180 on same-sex marriage, his opposition to same-sex marriage had caused his live-in girlfriend’s gay nephew to cut off contact with his aunt (Kruger girlfriend). So when Kruger switched to supporting same-sex marriage he switched teams as well, and he dumped his live-in girlfriend to move in with a gay gynecologist? I think that Kruger would rather have people talk about how he took a million dollars in bribes instead of about his other perversions.

A gay gynecologist? For real? Now I’ve heard everything!

And a NY State Senator living with a gay gynecologist (and his mom?)? How the hell will NY ever top THAT sex scandal? Mike Bloomberg doing it with a chicken while wearing ladies undergarments?

I would think having to associate with that part of the female anatomy would be a nightmare for a gay man.
