with the new rocketball z between 190-200
What will that bring it up to? 150?
its better than nice..its the truth….and that will
be the last I have to say about it…onward and
upward…as they say…need to get about 20 more yards
out of my three wood
Nice try
everything you have posted is correct.but there
is a difference between making a false statement
intentionally and making a political charge which
contains inaccuracies……the fact of the matter
is that the backstory is that one of the anchors at
news 12 was asked by smith to issue a retraction a year
before the lawsuit was brought…news 12 refused without asking me…and I would have been happy to
have issued a retraction or correction of the record
and after they brought the suit news 12 refused to
defend me….so i wasn’t going to pay a dime to defend
a statment made in the course of a campaign on their
air…the point is .to the extent that anything was said that was untrue I apologized for ..but remember
in the english language..lying is when you make a statment you know is false..not when you beleive what
you are saying when you say it…just because you are
in error factually doesn’t make you a liar..and in
fact the lawsuit was resolved …and if you don’t
understand that making a statement which turns out
to be untrue is not the same as lying..then you need
to go back and take a refresher course in the english
language..and just because the sheriff issued a statment characterizing the statements were willful and malicious doesn’t mean they were and in fact
there was no judicial determination that they were..
so you are not as smart as you think you are…and you
are not going to chase me off this blog or any other
with your continuous harang on the same subject..I apologized to the sheriff.he deserved the apology
but if news 12 had simply issued the retraction when
he asked..a year an a half before he decided to sue
it would have been settled..so someone at news 12
(you can guess who) made a unilateral decision not
to retract without ever asking me whether or not the
“entire statement” was totally factually correct..
and by the way Elliot Spitzer was on george stephanopolous’ show this morning…however I wouldnt
go back even if I was asked to ….I don’;t like
people who fail to stand behind someoen who did their
show for over 20years no matter what the circumstances
were..so you really haven’t got a clue
Mike, where are you?
“He’s got two houses, one in North Carolina, one in Florida,” Edelman said on News 12, days before the Republican primary in 2009. “He has a homestead exemption in Florida, which you know means that you don’t have to pay property taxes.”
Smith, in denying Edelman’s statements, alleged that they were “spoken willfully and maliciously with the intent to damage [Smith’s] good name.”
“Contrary to [Edelman’s] false and malicious statements, [Smith] did not own a house in North Carolina, did not spend most of his time in Florida in the wintertime, was not an absentee Sheriff, did not have a homestead exemption in Florida, [and] was a primary resident of the county of Putnam …”
Since Sheriff Smith is a public figure, the burden of proof for slander is higher than if he was an average citizen. Edelman and his attorney, Martin Baker, are prepared to stand behind the statements.
“He’s got to show that they are untrue and were said with malice, in other words, he has to prove Michael either knew it was untrue or said it with reckless disregard for the truth,” Baker told the PCN&R. “And he will never be able to prove either of those because what Mr. Edelman said was true.”
Mike who said this“I truly regret making statements about Sheriff Smith that were untrue and failing to disclose that I was working as a paid consultant for one of the Sheriff’s opponents,” Edelman said in a press release. “I apologize to Sheriff Smith and his family for any pain I may have caused them and any damage I may have done to the Sheriff ’s reputation.”
Not a liar like you
nope its not…its a fact that you are fantasizing
because it allows you to call others a liar…what
does that make you?
It’s a fact that you lied, isn’t it?
they are still nasty comments and demonstrate that
the poster who relies on spewing personal criticisms
has no facts to back up their own arguments…so they
result to personal attack…its what people with
no education do…because they haven’t got the tools
to make their points without that crutch…
BTW: the days of “niceness” are over with you political SOB’s….just in case you haven’t noticed.
😉
hahaha……..apparently we seem to have a legal eagle around here who never read the first amendment.
got over yourself…you sound like an asshole.
glad to see the news reported here
you just can’t get over being nasty…and that’s
why these blogs should be monitored…because jerk’s
like you shouldn’t be allowed to open your mouth
publicly….
Leave EdelFRAUD alone,
he got his money the old
fashion way HE STOLE IT!!
Thank You John Fleming
Great comeback, liar. Hahahahaha
and you are an admitted jerk
Don’t pay attention to him, he can’t help himself. He’s an admitted liar.
so you are saying that difiore has the responsibility
to investigate libous…because she is the head
of the ethics commission and because his son was
supposed to get a job from a private law firm not
connected to state government..well you are just plain
wrong..that is not the mission of the ethics commision
there are no allegations of wrongdoing against senator
libous that are pending ..just some ruminating by
you about why his son might be working for mangone
because mangone worked for spano which in and of itself
is ludicrous on its face..you seem to think that the
presence of senators libous and lentol are evidence
of criminal activity..they are not.and then when your
arguments about conflict falls flat on its fct you
accuse those who make you look like a conspiracy
freak of being involved…its the same old story and
it illustrates once again why you should sign your
name to your posts and why none of this stuff should
be online unless the poster mans ..you end with
your’re probably part of it” of course ..no facts
no law on your side..might as well accuse…
didn’t that happen in france one J’accuse…how did
that turn out !
This is a potential criminal charge of extortion against a State Senator whose roommate in Albany was Nick Spano. This is a claim of a crime, one that I hope SOME prosecutor somewhere will investigate… anyone, anyone, anyone?
Bueller, Bueller, Bueller…
… Anyone, anyone, anyone.
Can anyone do their jobs right and investigate this criminal activity by politicians in Yonkers?
Or is Janet DiFiore and Andrew Cuomo just going to hide under their desks for the next three weeks
Do you think this is the first time someone has referred complaints about criminal corruption in Westchester politics to the D.A.’s office or to the Attorney General?
She’s now the head of the New York State Ethics Commission. It’s now Janet DiFiore’s responsibility to investigate these claims of criminal activity by a State Senator — not to mention the fact that the actual crime of extortion happened right here in Westchester.
Keep denying, you shithead. I’ll give you some credit since we all know you’re not THAT dumb.
I don’t know what’s worse; the corrupt presence of Joe Lentol from Brooklyn through Mike Spano or Tom Libous from the Southern Tier through Nick Spano.
And you don’t see any conflict of interest for anyone? You don’t see how prosecutors have failed to investigate these crimes for nearly 20 years?
Of course you don’t. You’re probably part of it.
what fix…you posted from an upstate newspaper
about a job that libous’ son got with anthony
mangone…where is the fix…in that post…what
is the connection between that post and difiore..
as for whether or not I can see conflicts …you should
know that I set the bar for conflict of interest
cases when I prosecuted frauds in the da’s office.
its still the leading case on conflicts…your intimations and threats about the feds investigating
me are the kinds of lousy nasty remarks that only people who have a vendetta would make..you cannot
connect your own post. to your own premise…what
does libous’ son have to do with difiore…and dont
talk around the argument as you do…constantly
specifically tell us why you cited the post in support
of your theory that difiore is corrupt and that her
husband owns andrews cuomo which by the way I intend
to send to mr cuomo so he can see for himself tthe
charges of him being in someones pocket which i am
sure he will appreciate…
Asshole, we did contact the Attorney General. We had contacted Andrew Cuomo directly when he was Attorney General. The complaint was shuffled back to the Westchester County District Attorney’s office and ignored there too.
What part of “fix” don’t you understand, Mr. Edelman, or are you so in control of how these Federal/State/County investigations have looked the other way that you may in fact be the boss of all bosses?
(since only a former county prosecutor like yourself with ties to Nick Spano could have managed such a fix)
Perhaps we should pray the Feds investigate you, deeply.
If you can’t see the conflicts of interest, you’re a sorry soul.
also if you are convinced you have uncovered an ethics
issue why don’t you 1.call the attorney general
2. alert the counsel to the governor 3. notify
NYPIRG..and see what they say about it…I am sure
they will tell you the same thing the US attorney
told you….
if you are saying that because servino went back
to work in the da’s office after working at mangones
law firm where apparently income was hidden from him
to avoid his partnership share..how does that involve
difiore…you don’t seem to understand the word
“conflict of interest”….
why don’t you explain exactly what you think the
conflict is..I don’t see her name mentioned anywhere
in the above story do you?
Regardless, DiFiore must remove herself from the State ethics commission. That’s a conflict of interest.
Speaking of conflicts, some of the people who gave money to Gail Burns and John Spano in 2009 will also be a political problem for the Westchester County District Attorney.
Carl Vergari never would have taken a call from a politician, let alone endorse or donate money the way DiFiore has. The bottom line remains that New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo is now the man on the spot, as is State Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos and Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver.
If an ethics commission cannot rule objectively, we have a much deeper problem in New York that will have a much more provocative outcome in elections. Maybe the public will finally get so pissed that anti-incumbency will clean out the entire Assembly and State Senate (not to mention the Governor, Comptroller and Attorney General).
Mike, weren’t you taught at a young age to avoid “the great lie” — or were you too busy caddying?
EdelFRAUD,
Let’s see, no soul,
no brain,
no heart,
no morals,
no balls,
in short a steaming lump of
dogsh*t has more redeeming
qualities than this waste of sperm!
di fiore is hardly corrupt…you know absolutely nothing about the situation..before Tony Servino
was in business with santangleo and randazzo he was
chief of the district attorney’s appeals and motions
bureau and that was under Carl Vergari…and a fine attorney on the law…he evidently got fed up for whatever reasonwith the practice he was in and sought
to return to what he liked best ..the law…
the fact that Difiore was elected as a democrat and
was previously a republican seems to bother you..maybe
you would have preferred tony castro..let;s take a look
at what his kids go from one of his clients…
Difiore is anything but corrupt and her husbandhas
nothing whatever to do with how she conducts her office
he is too busy flying around the country trying major
cases and making plenty of money as a partner in a major highly respected new york city law firm…
so difiore is exactly the person to head up the ethics
commission which is why she was choosen…
There it is:
http://www.capitaltonight.com/2012/03/outgoing-binghamton-mayor-calls-for-ethics-investigation/#disqus_thread
“In deed, why isn’t Eric Schneiderman investigating. Could it be that the disclosures about Servino implicate Janet DiFiore whose been treated like some “holy cow” by both Lippman and Cuomo with her totally inappropriate Ethics Commission appointment. Fact is she’s a bogus Democrat and a very corrupt district attorney. She wields unjustified political influence by way of her husband, a partner in the influential DPW law firm.”
Heh … not yet.
but his name isn’t on the witness list is it?
Compensation for a lack of something …
On the level?
Yeah, when Edelman is talking about Yonkers, he seems on the level but part of that is vertigo.
why don’t you phone in and ask..
How come Lesnick gets a head shot and Edelman’s photo is life size?
Edelman and Lesnick “On the Level”
Very funny.
When Y Trib decides to have a show something like: “I’m Calling your Ass to the Carpet You Lying Sc*mbag”
Let us know!
Until then you are wasting time.
