NY1 News tonight is going to be one big pile-on, judging by these quotes pulled from an advance transcript the network sent over:

“What he did was awful, it needs therapy to explain.”
            -former Public Advocate and Democratic Attorney Mark Green

“There are obviously deep psychological problems. You don’t comport yourself in this way given your knowledge of the criminal justice system.”
            -former U.S. Senator Alfonse D’Amato

“I really feel so sorry for him, it’s a Greek tragedy.”

“But there has to be a screw loose because it’s irrational behavior. It was irrational when he did what he did with the steamroller stuff, alienating everyone in Albany. That’s why he has no friends up there.”
        -former New York City Mayor Ed Koch
