Quote of the Day

"(Governor Jon) Corzine understands that his initial plan went too far, and he is now doing everything he can to hold down the increase the Turnpike Authority proposed to the lowest level possible in order to guarantee safe roads and enhance bridge safety." -- Corzine's "best positioning" on toll hikes, according to his pollster, Doug Schoen.

Should I stay or should I go now?
Joke. How did this guy get appointed anyway? Was he one of McGreevey's fine appointments?
More importantly, does Codey let Coniglio stay on as the chairman of the committee that oversees ethics? Probably. he let Bryant stay ont he committee that oversees higher education and he let James stay on as vice-chair of budget and vice chair of the committee that oversees local governments. Ahhhhhhhhh who cares... it's JOISEY!
Do you think.......
It was appropriate for "shotgun" Cheney to hang with Scalia? Oh, wait a minute - they're Republicans, so that's OK.
.....................................................................
stupid he ain't?
Cheney and Scalia aren't the centers of criminal investigations right now, so perhaps lovepoliticsnj.com is comparing apples to lettuce here. Stupid has a good point -- broken clocks are right twice a day I suppose.
-sigh-
Just don't understand how someone can defend these actions. Democrat or Republican, it's just stupid, and a federal prosecutor should have know better. I know Molinelli isn't investigating Coniglio, but maybe THAT'S the problem!
aldomanuzio...... Buona Sera Paisano.
Can't help noticing your "right now". Please don't get my hopes up just yet. What did you think of Hillary's Hispanic release today? Hillary/Richardson and with the reds ignoring the Afro American college, mixed together with Rudi's "dis" of the N.R.A...... Things are looking up! Now if only the supposed Evangelicals will see Rudi's incest, ashes on his forehead when he met his soon to be 3rd wife...... What a Bella Perfecta! But we shall see what we shall see.
