Good News/Bad News

So Hiram Monserrate -- the State Senator who, when not busy assaulting his girlfriend, is busy in the backrooms cutting deals with Democrats and Republicans to acquire more power -- was convicted of misdemeanor assault but acquitted of a felony. This man slashed his girlfriend's face, nearly disfiguring her permanently ... and it's a misdemeanor. He might go to jail for only a year and it's not clear if he'll lose his Senate seat.

Wow.

This guy is a first-class sleaze, a criminal opportunist who clearly has contempt for women and also contempt for the public when he joined in that little State Senator coup last June. People go to jail for a lost less than this. Here's the interesting thing: he was "convicted" by a judge, not a jury. Hmmm ... Monserrate is an politician and judges are politicians (in fact if not in theory) ... think this judge was looking out for his own kind?

I'll let you draw your own conclusions.
