According to a tipster, infamous GOP dirty trickster and Brooks Brothers Riot puppet master Roger Stone is on the ground in NY-20. Our tipster informs us that Stone dined at Loporto’s in Troy Friday night with a woman and three men in suits. They were marking up Excel spreadsheets over some calamari and "speaking low."
Our tipster asks "Why is he here?"
I’d say that’s rather obvious, no?
Scott Murphy wants domestic absentee ballots to be counted starting on Wednesday, which by law they should be. But the state GOP and Tedisco don’t want the ballots to be counted until April 13, the deadline for receipt of overseas absentee ballots. A judge should rule on the matter soon.
I’m sure Stone would love more time to work his magic. Helping the FBI find their way to Eliot Spitzer’s call girl, Jack Abramoff’s Indian gaming operation, Dan Rather and the TANG documents and the Brooks Brothers riot during the Miami/Dade recount are all on his Greatest Hits list.
If he has interest in the race, I can’t imagine it’s limited to a citizen’s noble interest in a fair election process.

If you can’t beat ‘em, cheat ‘em.
I am sure he is there to make sure everything is above-board. not.
Yup, the old tried & true!
Just remember, this keeps him out of MN.
great video!
go Albany Project ! thank dog for local blogs
suspect he’s there as the result of some 20-20 hindsight on MN Senate . . . more likely, that’s how he sold his not so cheap services to the RNC
I’m shocked SHOCKED I say to find that Republicans wish to steal an election! /s
And to weave a little more into this web, Stone’s field general for the Brooks Bros Riot was then-NY20-Rep. John Sweeney. Sweeney was arrested over the weekend in Clifton Park, NY, for felony DWI (he has a prior DWI on his record). Sweeney, who still lives in that area, has been reported assisting the Tedisco team with their recount efforts.
“Shhhh…the calamari might be bugged.”
Outrageous.
Can’t a judge bar him from the jurisdiction?
The only time these ratf**ks stop is when they are 6 feet under.
Arrested again? YIKES that guy is toxic and dangerous. Don’t they take your license away for 2 DWIs?
OT Hey Jane; Raw Story has an article featuring you and Accountability Now – way to go

True dat. Then again, we’re busy laughing at Bogus Ben Ginsberg. Stone’s a whole new level of silliness.
Well, I guess Roger’s ‘I feel bad’ moment passed…

He doesn’t get paid based on his “feel bad” moments.
He gets paid by being an uber-partisan a**.
ty, Dakine – I’m of the opinion that if Mr. Stone’s problem, like that of other robbers, is that he has no other job skills, then we should take up a collection to send him to train for something else.
I think that the fine citizens of NY-20 need to hie themselves to a print shop to have posters — really, really, REALLY large posters — made of the images and explanatory text at these links:

And somebody needs to ask the press why they’re ignoring the presence of a guy who got kicked off Bob Dole’s team in 1996 because of this. If he were a Democrat, his career would be over and they know it:
In Minnesota they give you a “whiskey plate”, so called because the license plate number starts with a “W”. They hand ‘em out for multiple offenses of any sort, not just booze.
“Would you like pure evil with that?”
And if you listened to a bit of Laura Ingraham today, you could have heard a little ”wisdom”, or something, speaking of Brooks Bros, from John Bolton. Yep.
