NY GOP Consultant Resigns After Making Threatening Phone Call To Governor's Father

NY Daily News:

That was fast.

In a just-released statement, Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno called the Roger Stone phone call flap "a distraction from the real issues - the abuse of government power, political espionage and a cover-up of information," but said the consultant has agreed to "resign and end his relationship with us at our request."

"We are not going to let this incident become a distraction or to be used as an excuse to hamper people from getting at the truth," Bruno said. The investigations into the Executive Chamber are continuing. We hope that both District Attorney Soares and the Ethics Commission will conduct full and thorough investigations to get at the truth that the public demands."

I have a question. Is this the same "Roger Stone" who, ten-fifteen years ago, lost a high re-pervert party position after his picture was discovered on a S&M computer bulletin board? Decked out in latex and leather. Maybe Stone was the one who advised Bush to wear a flight suit with a potato in his crotch.

The party of "values"...yeah, sure, the values of a whorehouse madam!

From a parallel universe, recently C-Span re-ran a 1990s interview of Jim(?) Glassman about his book predicting a 36,000 DOW. He said he had a new way to value stocks. Musta been one of those 1-800 psychics.
