Tom Duane to Joe Bruno: See a Shrink
After hearing that Republican Majority Leader Joe Bruno’s conference subpoenaed Eliot Spitzer’s top aides, Rich Baum and Darren Dopp, State Senator Tom Duane offered the following piece of advice: go see a shrink.
In a telephone conversation just now, Duane told me, "I think Senator Bruno’s feelings were hurt. I can understand that. But to drag the legislature through his hurt is, I think, unfortunate. At this point, I would suggest seeing a mental health professional, since we passed Timothy’s Law. He’s eligible."
Duane added, "I feel bad for him. I do. But enough of the public sympathy. Time to move on. People have done means things to me and I just decided to let go after a while."
The subpoena for Baum was for records, while the one for Dopp was for him to testify in front of the investigations committee. But that’s not such a big deal, said Duane.
“I don’t think there is a penalty for not showing up. Somebody told me there is a $50 fine for not showing up.”

How to overthrow a democratically elected government: (1) Create negative economical or political conditions (2) Constantly, verbally assault the government or it's leader. (3) Start a Recall and keep the leader off the ballot (4) Dilute the vote with numerous candidates and offer your leader as the "Salvation". I believe this happened in California over the energy shortage scam. New Yorkers be aware of the political machinations of the extreme right wing! Just remember that New York is the second highest electoral vote state.
