March 27, 2006 -- STATE Senate officials are considering an unprecedented "censure" vote against violence-prone Queens Democratic Sen. Ada Smith, who was charged last week with throwing hot coffee in the face of an aide.
As soon as the latest charge against the erratic Smith became public, Senate officials began researching the possibility of expelling or "impeaching" Smith, but concluded that state law does not allow such dramatic action, a senior Senate official said.
State law does require the expulsion of a legislator convicted of a felony, but the latest charge against Smith - like one involving a confrontation with the State Police two years ago - is a misdemeanor.
"This has gone on long enough," said the Senate official.
"She's been out of control for years, and we have to take some action against her to recognize that if she's convicted on this one."
In past incidents, Smith - often called the "Madwoman" or "Wild Woman" of Albany - was accused of menacing an aide with a meat cleaver and attacking a guest at a wedding party with a garbage-can cover. She was also once Maced after confronting a traffic officer in Brooklyn.

Well we know Hillary is a psychopath, she's already occupied the White House for 8 years, stolen the silverware and furniture, attempted to co-opt 10% of our nations economy (with hillarycare) and now the psycho-b*tch is running for president and has a chance of being elected.

State Senator Ada Smith was accused in a criminal summons of throwing hot coffee into the eyes of a former staffer.
The Queens Democrat faces a misdemeanor charge of third-degree assault. She will be required to appear in Albany City Court on April 6.
Smith allegedly threw "a cup of hot coffee into the eyes" of
former staffer Jennifer Jackson of Albany on Tuesday morning.
Senator accused
A New York State Senator has been accused of allegedly harassing a staff member in her Albany office. Senator Ada Smith will appear in Albany City Court on April 6.
The court papers said the senator also pulled a hairpiece from Jackson's head, causing a neck and shoulder injury and injury to her eyes.
Smith's office said Jackson no longer works for the senator.
According to the Albany Times Union, the incident happened after the senator returned from a Weight Watchers meeting and said she had lost about four pounds. Jackson responded she thought Smith would have lost more, given her active lifestyle.
Smith, who's been in office 18 years, issued a statement
Wednesday saying the claims of a confrontation were "completely and utterly false."
Al Franken in drag?
It's Bush's fault.
Heh.
Talk about damning with faint praise.
Reports also have the aide saying; "Gee, you don't sweat much for a fat lady."
Fat, dumb and ugly is no way to go through life senator.
I hope the ex-employee sues the ever-livin' pants off this toad. What a disgrace.
