The New York Times cityroom blog is reporting this from Staten Island, New York's most backward borough:
Staten Island Republican Borough President James P. Molinaro (the jerk above, right) wants to sell the naming rights to a public bridge between Staten Island and New Jersey. The bridge will undergo some rebuilding soon.
Anything to avoid taxing the rich contributors to Molinaro's campaign and the incomes of their fellow rich Republicans.
But I have a solution:
What we need is some public-spirited person with a lot of bucks to bid the top dollar to name the bridge, "The Borough President James P. Molinaro Is An Asshole" Bridge.
Whaddya wanna bet, if that happens, that Molinaro starts walking his idea backwards?
