Like father, like son?

1. This is so typical that are more interested

in who leaked than in what was actually happened, what they did.

His son nearly killed the kid he beat and he got off because they got a new Republican judge appointed.

She still isn't denying anything either. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

2. Interesting

I was wondering what the TU left out when they published the comment about Pace having a grudge.

3. Sweeney, jr didn't just have a 'fight'

with the other kid, he beat him with his boot so bad he was in a coma. The troopers didn't just 'break up a fight' the kid was hopitalized and still doesn't have good vision. It was cruel, he totally lost control. He was also charged as a minor and will have no record. He definitely should have served time. This incident angered many people because of the special treatment jr. received, it really hit home because they know if it were their kid they would be in jail for a long time.

4. Sweeney thoughts

John Sweeney is the classic poor boy made good. But......he is was the bully in the neighborhood. Remember him in Florida carrying water for Bush in the stolen election. What happened later was payback. Politics and those who play in this arena prevaricate naturally. So depressing. State police officer Pace is the victim of Sweeney's last days in office (loser R. Congressman from upstate district)and our governor's last days in office. Sweeney's son assaulted another young man leaving him with life long injury. If that were your son, he would be behind bars. Backdoor deal here. Sweeny blatantly lied about his wife and physical abuse. For those in other parts of the state, when you hire Stewart Jones, atty., of Troy, NY on the way home from an accusation, you are guilty. Otherwise you would not need this famed defense attorney. Of the huge selection of those we would be well rid of, Sweeney is up at the top of the list. And, the R. controlled Congress (until Jan 07) giving him a present to give the electorate, our money, days before the election, is one reason whole bunches of Americans do not vote. Watch to see how many trips the Congressman takes before he leaves office, how many perks he accumulates and what prize the outgoing governor can find for him on some highly paid and useless commission.
