Diane Savino Does Not Like Background Sourcing

A couple of stories yesterday described David Paterson's apparently strained relationship with State Senate Democratic Leader Malcolm Smith.

I asked Democratic State Senator Diane Savino for her thoughts, and she responded by noting that the sources in the pieces were anonymous.

“People have nothing better to do than to talk shit all day,” said Savino. "If you’re not willing to say something on the record, then don’t say anything at all.”

Diane Savino ROCKS! She's one of very few Democrats who's honest, gets the big picture and tells it like it is!

Easy for Savino to say but not at all her reality. She's a backstabbing b-tch who pimps her boyfriends consulting business while badmouthing other dems behind closed doors. She's just the same as the rest. Phoney.

Anon 1250 PM: You are right on the money about Savino. First she was 100% for Recchia in the 13th CD race. He has the money , the endorsements etc. etc. etc. Then she threw him under the bus. She was even thinking about a run for that seat. What a phony.
