Hyper(ventilating) Bob McCarthy annoys me again

Bob McCarthy has apparently been working overtime to insure victory for the troops.

Sunday's puff piece (Collins, post-gaffe, gets back to work) lets us know that Collins is back to his hard charging, businessman-like ways and off campaigning for governor again. Repeatedly comparing an orthodox jew to Hilter and calling him the antichrist, no problem, simply a matter of open mouth, insert foot. Its just a temporary glitch that can be dealt with with an apology and the right spin. (I guess spin and especially spin control is one of those things they teach you at businessman school.)

And then there's Wednesday's followup (GOP picks up three seats). According to Bob:

• "instantly doubling the GOP presence in the 15-member Legislature from three to six"
  
• "Collins narrowly lost his bid to replace Democratic nemesis Mark C. Poloncarz" (Poloncarz got about 10,000 votes more than his challenger)
  
• "voters have sent a message in strong support of our agenda, when they elected three new members of the County Legislature." (What about the nine democrats the voters sent back?)
• yada, yada, you know how it goes
  

Reality check to Bob: Thousands in Kris Kollins Kampaign Kash purchased a "veto proof minority" (reapeated ad nausium) and a severely flawed Sheriff.

That got me wondering, how many times did the legislature actually thwart Kollin's will and overide a veto. Once, was all I could find, and that was to keep him from raising taxes. (Collins says he'll stick to his guns on tax rate; Blasts overrides of budget vetoes, Buffalo News December 8, 2008)


Oh well, don't let facts get in the way Bob. But here's a little suggestion for you: Bend over, insert head is just as good way to describe the Kollins administration.
