Robert Duffy is picked as mayoral-control-supporting-gubernatorial-candidate Andrew Cuomo's running mate. Surprise --- Surprise (not really).
This move outs Duffy (even more so than before) as the liar and hypocrite that he really is.
After having raised all of this ruckus, commotion and...

I wish Ms Fien and other journalists would stop letting the media-czar and master manipulator Gary Walker get away with silly, coded statements, politically-loaded language and slogans such as food fights. Such language is clearly designed to conjure up particular images in readers minds-eye. What in the heck is meant by food fights, and what does it have to do with the issue of mayoral control?
There definitely were no so-called F bombs dropped during the forum.

Mr. OBrien,
You asked a very important question regarding F bombs being used at school board meetings. Im quite certain many recall that an F bomb was clearly dropped by a Commissioner at a school board meeting during the most recent elections, which everyone would have heard had it not been bleeped-out during news reports. Gary Walker and Robert Duffy did not become upset by that situation. In fact, very shortly after it happened, Robert Duffy (Im sure with a little help from Gary Walker) used every major media outlet in town to reaffirm his support for the F bomb - dropping school board Commissioner. He even attempted to rationalize it away by talking about how passionate the person is regarding education issues. Yet, when a 17-year-old student allegedly uses an F-bomb (not during the forum thats being discussed), but apparently at some other time --- Robert Duffy supposedly becomes so upset, so flustered that he forgets what his position is on an issue thats so important and so critical that it represents the hill upon which he is willing to die --- WOW! Hypocrisy is a gross, gross, gross understatement!
