what's the theory here?
this is supposed to tell us what?
that Sweeney is cozying up to North Jersey leaders because he's going to challenge Codey for Senate Prez?
Free Clothes
Triple Dipper Steve Sweeney can't afford to buy clothes? With a TCNJ hat and a State Police golf shirt you would think this guy was going through the poor bin at goodwill.
He'll make a great Governor.
life and art
Can't help but recall the fate of Uncle Pussy when he went for a ride on Tony's boat somewhere in the vicinity of Lavalette. A hand on the shoulder lends itself to a knife in the back.
Steve needs to pay attention
So here we have Steve with the Senate Majority Leader just on a boat just taking in the sights. Anyone that knows Steve will tell you that this is not a sight seeing voyage. Looks like Senator Sweeny is trying to get backing to dethrone Cody but anyone who knows Steve a deal must be in the works. Steve is always ready for a deal. So looks like Steve will give him the backing as long as Sweeney pushes for Ruiz to become Majority Leader. BUT wait this gets better. Doesn’t Sweeney have an immigration bill out that targets Latinos? And aren’t Steve’s base of voters Latinos. I guess when Sweeney heard the deal to back Ruiz for Majority leader he jumped ship and swam back to shore. But nice try Steve.
Is that Fire Island in the background?
hahahaha
The two Steve's
Adubato is "Big" Steve?
The egos on these small-minded hacks is almost too much to stomach.
Get me some Alka-Seltzer...
