State Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie has reportedly been canoodling with a lovely lobbyist, and it’s all the talk in Albany — but he is refusing to comment on her and scoffs at the notion of a conflict of interest.

The 56-year-old powerful Dem has been in a romantic relationship with 32-year-old Rebecca Lamorte, a lobbyist and communications coordinator for the union Greater New York Laborers-Employers Cooperation & Education Trust, or LECET, since at least November, according to the outlet NY Focus.

Heastie got feisty with reporters when asked about the couple Monday morning, bristling at the suggestion he should discuss any details.

Yeah. That’s how they do it. Even when called out in front of a judge. They just brazen it out and dare you to do anything about it.

It was love at first sight of his wealth and power.

[nickcarraway]

There was a lobbyist that had an affair with New Jersey Sen. Robert Torricelli, then after that with NJ Senator Jon Corzine. Did she have a disability, too?

[BradyLS]

LOL! SMH... A lid for every pot. A lobbyist for every pol’!

[ProtectOurFreedom]

I can see a resemblance...

[BradyLS]

A disability? More like a capability!

[Nextrush]

The older men have the money and the younger women...

[redangus]

Get that woman something to eat.

[buwaya]

“Rebecca Lamorte” is a wonderful name for a fictional character - some sort of femme fatale maybe. But of course life is stranger than fiction.

[Responsibility2nd]

She slept with an older man? That’s a resume enhancer for Dems.

Why, she could be vice president someday.

[BobL]

To his credit, she is HOT.

[dagunk]

Get that woman something to eat.

******************************************

Agreed. Too skinny, no curves.

[stylin19a]

that photo always puzzled me...is she really that white ? if so, then she’s coloring now...

[ProtectOurFreedom]

I know. It’s a very weird skin color in that photo.
