Perhaps their ire should have been directed at the spouse with the point-one-four BAC the night before.
Was the question out of place? Maybe, but it had to be asked. I mean, the man was right in front of us. Who better to ask, or maybe we should have waited for some “communications director” to offer a non-response.
Hey, we’re the media. We’re not here to improve your life.
As for special treatment, the DA, who has broad discretion in these cases, said Lee’s case was handled no differently than anybody else’s under similar circumstances. That final adjudication was postponed until after Carnright’s re-election gives pause, but his explanation and application of long-established standards seemed plausible.
How Lee fares in Albany, the epicenter for political connivance by the “fourth branch of government” (lobbyists), remains to be seen. Her prior in Ulster, less than a year ago, could weigh heavily.
What a bitter article! Excuse me while I go shower the sentiment off.
No, that is correct Mr. painted-on-smiling-face on North Front Street: you are the media, and not only are you not here to make anyone’s life better–you are sometimes there to wreck lives and not give a crap–like “my man Kirby” at your old employer. You are the media–there to create scandal even when it’s not there. Not “here” of course–but “there.” You know–in the Hurley Ave. Hinterlands of Yore.
Oh–and you forgot the whole theme of Carnwright’s opponent, built upon the unreported bloggate of 2009-2010–which involved that guy that opponent’s wife into whose face cast a drink at one time(your sendoff of him was a lot better and he didn’t deserve it). Just have to remind these Alzheimer types–or is it “Pre-Alzheimer’s”(lest some shrink shrink YOU uh, prematurely). I’ll look for a column on that of course–aha, hopefully before I have to declare myself in Alzheimer’s land. I’m betting to see it first on the next Oprah–yes that’s right, I said OPRAH.
