POLITICS: Minarik and Daniele

Published on Nov 20, 2007
Mary Anna Towler captures perfectly the morphing of Minarik into Rove ("Monroe County's Soul," November 7). Here in the 10th District (Pittsford & East Rochester) I am dismayed by the flyers, including the infamous kafiyah flyer that arrived in the presumed behalf of Anthony Daniele: flyers that present cruel caricatures of Ted Nixon and gross exaggerations and misrepresentations about Nixon's philosophy.

I can visualize a dinner scene at a table in the subdued amber lighting at Bazil's, where Steve Minarik is coaching Mr. Daniele on what it takes to get into politics. If there were a movie about it, who would we cast in the role of Minarik? I suggest to Anthony Daniele that he think about changing parties. This is really not him!
