New York Times: NY Senate “took a stand against equality and fairness.”
Today’s Times takes a strong swing against our leadership in Albany, writing, of the gay marriage vote, “…not a single Republican possessed the courage or sense of justice to depart from an obsolete and narrow-minded party line, even the handful who had indicated that they might.”
It then names the eight Democratic traitors: “Also succumbing to what Senator Thomas Duane, a Democrat of Manhattan, called “contagious lack of backbone†were eight Democrats: Joseph Addabbo Jr., Darrel Aubertine, Rubén DÃaz Sr., Shirley Huntley, Carl Kruger, Hiram Monserrate, George Onorato and William Stachowski.”
Strong words from the Grey Lady, whose editorials have appropriately been increasingly critical of what it calls the “dysfunction” that indeed is Albany.
