QNS. DEM HIT WITH FRAUD RAPBy BRUCE GOLDING, NY Post
Veteran Assemblyman Anthony Seminerio was indicted for fraud yesterday after plea negotiations in his corruption case apparently broke down.
The Manhattan federal court indictment boosted to $1 million the amount of cash the Queens Democrat is charged with collecting through an eight-year, influence-peddling scheme.
In early September, federal authorities charged that Seminerio pocketed money in exchange for access to Albany lawmakers.
Payments allegedly went to a bogus consulting outfit linked to the Assemblyman.
Defense lawyer Ira Cooper, who was reportedly trying to cut a deal for 73-year-old pol, didn't return a call for comment.

Great picture! I almost feel bad for the greedy but yet cute and cuddly bastard
Throw that political mafioso
into the clink!
Maybe Two-Ton Tony will give up grandmother-rapist Dennis P. Gallagher and we can all rest better when this perv is off the streets.
They got OJ, they'll get Gallagher too!
Now will Sheldon Silver try to remove him from office, or must they wait for the legal case to play out?
He'll never see the inside of a cell.

Which came first the chicken or the egg?
Who came first Anthony Semenerio or Rod Blagojevich?

Probably not - since Dennis was likely set up on b-s charges he'll never do time for the really bad stuff he's done. That's the way it works when your life is just one big lie.
As for OJ, karma's a bitch.
Actually, who came first was Tammany Haller NYS Senator George Washington Plunkitt (1842-1924). He made most of his money through land purchases which he knew in advance would be used for public projects.
Plunkitt was known for distinguishing between "honest graft" and "dishonest graft" - honest graft would be when he'd sell his land parcels at inflated prices. Dishonest graft, he maintained, was first buying the land and then using influence to build on it.
Can Semenerio enter a legal defense of "honest graft"? Does Our Antonio get the George Washington Plunkitt Award?
[From Wikipedia] Plunkit btw regarded the fragmented and independent form of machine governance to be the most perfect form of urban administration possible. Civil service could actually be ruinous to one's health.
(Can anyone help me here? I'm trying to find out where Plunkitt is buried. Find-a-grave is of no help. Anyone?)
They are all the same: Liars, cheats, phoneys, and crooks!!! Get rid of them all--- NOW!!!!
Enough already!
For Georgetheatheist:
Plunkitt is in Calvary Cemetery

I wonder if he's buried near Tom Manton?
So now Queens is known for its cementaries -
St. Johns for mobsters
and Calvary for crooked politicians?
Lovely, but apparently there isnt enough room in Calvary to hold them all.
But would we have a LIFE without
Gallagher???
"So now Queens is known for its cemetaries"
Queens Has ALWAYS Been known for it's Cemeteries
