While Baby Boomers were focused on having careers and kids at the same time, subsequent generations have been putting more emphasis on child-rearing. And traditionally, Asians have always put their families first. Considering this, one has to wonder why Grace Meng would want to run for an office that would cause her to spend so much time away from her family, which includes a young child and a new baby.
Perhaps, like Joe Crowley, she'll just move the whole clan to Washington and raise them there. After all, the neighborhoods and schools are better in tony DC suburbs than anyplace in NY-6!
The idiots back in Queens won't care, they'll keep sending her back term after term so long as she comes back once in awhile for photo ops.

Oh, I get it! I Love NY T-shirts with the U.S. Capitol building in......Washington, D.C. in the background! Makes perfect sense!
I guess "I Love the Beltway!" or "I Love DC" just doesn't have the same ring!
Assemblywoman Meng spends very little time up in Albany as it is.
Many accuse her of being lazy...
not wanting to travel far upstate.
One fact remains obvious...
Grace is mainly interested in her Oriental constituents, issues.
She's not as forthcoming for her Occidental constituents.
So could we count on Congresswoman Meng (if she gets elected) to represent ALL of her constituents, or will she just cater to her fellow Asiatics needs?
We'd better all learn Mandarin if we want to communicate with her office.
Most of her current Assembly staff are Orientals.
Try getting a prompt call back if you're not Asiatic.
Our personal political analysis:
Meng is just a spoiler in the race.
In the meantime, the Democratic machine needs oiling...with some new laundered overseas Chinese money...now that John Liu's well appears to be running dry.
Isn't "daddy" Jimmy Meng currently going door to door raising money for his daughter?
The machine is just kissing Gracie's ass to get campaign contributions for their party.
They know she hasn't a real chance of winning in only a 1/3 Asian populated district.
Rory Lancman will take the day!
Yeah, Joe Crowley phones in his representation and traditionally arrives to do the the heavy political lifting amid rounds of arm twisting to endorse his favored candidates he anoints as the Queens Democratic chieftain and powerbroker and of course in Sept for the primaries.
Enable your single lording power over a politician - use your vote wisely - vote Joe Crowley out of office.
Hysterical family flick.
Uh...
could "Crappy" photo shop Joe's ass impaled on the Capitol dome's statue?
LOL!
Just curious to see how he would look
up there.
H-m-m-m...it's nice to be king...
but it's almost just as good to be the Queens Dem Machine chief.
And how many in that 1/3 Asian district can legally vote?
Rory Lancman
has the biggest campaign pot so far.
Unless Grace's gangster father can extort enough money from district businesses...his daughter is shrimp toast.
As George Burns has said many times,
"Say goodnight Gracie".
But can Boston Market's famed "La China" appeal to other ethnic voting groups besides her own?
Bah...
and she's far too thin skinned
to take the heat of a real hot electoral kitchen.
She breezed into the NYS Assembly because her daddy held the former seat.
With Crowley's hands raising Meng's arms...doesn't Grace look more like a puppet than a master?
She certainly doesn't look very confident in any of her photos.
Lackluster and without much energy
is how Grace comes off.
She still has that befuddled look as if to say, "What's going on here?"
Beautiful picture,She looks like a puppet with crowley pulling the strings
Simple Solution.
Enlighted Democrats & Republicans
should support LANCEMAN with their time and treasure.
If he wins it sends a chilling message to the leadership of both parties.
If Schumer can have a Gillibrand puppet, then Crowley can have a Meng puppet.
My Eyes! All we miss is crauts in bladder hosing.
We are idiots here in Queens for re-electing these bums. Reject any candidate backed by the disgraceful Queens Democratic Party.
Glendale, Middle Village and Maspeth residents in the 6th CD should support Lancman.
Halloran is hooked up with Dennis Gallagher
Meng is a puppet of Virginia Joe Crowley
Dizzy Lizzy Crowley is completely...well, how can I tastefully put this...dumb!
what racist, sexist nonsense!!
What is racist or sexist about it? A white male, Crowley, was criticized. I just asked a question about Meng's plans. Somehow I dont picture NYC public schools in her kids' future.
That's Crowley's missus? The poor woman under all that blubber weight.
I love Queens Crap! I get to take my angst out on these morons who are rapidily destroying our country. I feel so much better after my few minutes on the crapper. Is there something particularly wierd about Virginia Joe or is just me! And by the way, he doesn't live in D.C., he lives in old Virginy.
Crapper, what is sexist is your bringing up the fact that Meng has young children and asking why she would want to run for an office that would require her to spend time away from her children. That is sexist because nobody ever brings up a man's young children when discussing his career choices.
And what is racist is the commenter who used the term "Oriental" to describe some of Meng's constituents and some of her Albany staff. This is an offensive term and most people don't use it because of the term's offensive history.
Oriental is a directional term, not a slur. We've been over this before. And I would ask any candidate with a newborn why they would be content with being away from home so much, but the fact is that a baby needs its mother more than its father and that's true in every species. Sorry if the truth is sexist.
Lets throw all the bums out of congress

Do Obama's kids go to public school?
Okay, we got it. Only men should be able to have a job as assembly person since women must take care of the family. Women should not be lawyers, doctors, or CEOs of a company because they can not have a family and a career. Hmmm. What's with Queens Crap and their readers? What year are you guys born in? The Victorian Era is over!!! I used to like reading Queens Crap but now I'm just disgusted on how sexist/racist this blog has become.
Very interesting. Where in the hell did you get that crazy shit from? Working in Washington and living in NY means being away from your family for 5 days or more at a time. That is not the case with lawyers, doctors, CEOs of companies or Assembly Members. It is the case with congress members.
I guess you idiots grasping at misogyny straws fail to understand that the punchline in this post is Joe Crowley. Seriously, go get a clue.
For those who haven't seen the Daily News blog posting, Grace Meng now has the backing of Emily's List, "the nation’s largest resource for women in politics."
Only men should be able to have a job as assembly person since women must take care of the family.
Who said that? Nice straw man argument, Beta Boy!
Who are you anyways? The head eunuch in Grace Meng's beta male harem?
Women should not be lawyers, doctors, or CEOs of a company because they can not have a family and a career.
And where do you stand on whether women should serve in combat units in the U.S. military?
How about women serving in the Navy Seals, Green Berets, Army Rangers? What's your opinion?
I used to like reading Queens Crap but now I'm just disgusted on how sexist/racist this blog has become.

Lugar is in trouble for the same thing that Crowley gets a pass on....
Sexist? Racist? No-o-o-o.
Sociologist
Asiatic or Oriental...
isn't "La China's" daddy a gangster?
Excuse me...
but nobody here employed the use of the derogatory term "Chink" or any other racial slur.
"Oriental" is an appropriate and non offensive usage.
If Ms. Meng doesn't like it...
that's too damn bad!
Dear Crap,
what is racist and sexist is that it opines that because she is asian it is odd she would want to have a job and because she is a women it is odd that she would want to have a job.
get it?
If you think that's what I wrote, then you obviously need to sharpen your reading comprehension skills. I said it was odd that she would be willing to spend 5 or more days per week away from her family - meaning that mommy doesn't come home at night - considering that she has 2 small children at home. I never said it was odd that she wanted a job. In the vast majority of jobs, the parent comes home in the evening and spends time with the family. This is the last time I will be explaining this to you. You obviously can't grasp the simple concept that working in DC means not coming home to NY at night.
Crowley, through a spokeswoman, defended his decision to relocate his wife and kids so that he could spend more time with them.
"Joe is a proven leader and effective representative who consistently delivers for his district," his spokeswoman, Courtney Gidner, said in a statement.
"He is also a devoted husband and father to three young kids who he wants to spend time with during the work week. He is strongly committed to both his job and family."
But most representatives from the city keep their families in their home districts, relying on improvised living arrangements in the capital when the House is in session -- and making the relatively short hop home on weekends.

Isn't there a residency law? Why is he representing a district that he doesn't even live in? Does he know what problems his districts are encountering? He's simply out of touch with his constituents. Why doesn't he give it up and represent the people of Virginia?
I said it was odd that she would be willing to spend 5 or more days per week away from her family - meaning that mommy doesn't come home at night - considering that she has 2 small children at home.
If I remember correctly, isn't that why a rising star like Susan Molinari quit Congress, so she could spend more time with her young family?
Questions asked and answered:
"Isn't there a residency law?"
Yes- but The Machine Gods aren't bound by piddly little laws. Only lesser mortals must follow laws. Who is going to call him out on it or vote him out of ofiice? Nobody.
"Why is he representing a district that he doesn't even live in?"
Simple. Because He doesn't want his kids going to shitty NYC public schools with the unwashed masses and why should Himself be forced to live in a shithole like Queens. He prefers to live in a better place more befitting one of the Elite Ruling Class. And if nobody is going to do anything about it, why should he care about this borough or do anything to improve conditions he himself finds so odious that he refuses to live here?
"He's simply out of touch with his constituents"
No, he just has utter contempt for us. No matter what nonsense he pulls, the sheeple will slavishly continue to vote for him and return him to office. Why should he care about us let alone have any respect for us? A Machine God works to enhance his own power and troubles himself not with little proles.
"Why doesn't he give it up and represent the people of Virginia?"
LOL! It's easy for him to run here in Queens. He and his clan own it through the machine they control. In Virginia, they may not put up with his bullshit.
The answer to all these questions can be summed up as do not vote for the Crowley Clan if you don't like their antics.
Of course this will not happen...
FYI, previous posters -
The Residency Laws for our Representatives in Congress are pretty limited.
You don't need to live in the district that you represent. So, for example, you could live in Buffalo and represent Queens Congressional District 6.
In fact, you don't have to live in the state you represent at all. You only need to prove that you have "business interests," whatever that means. In the case of Crowley, that business interest may be as simple as owning real estate.
Unfortunately, Virginia Joe isn't breaking the residency law whatsoever - probably just lots of other ones - because the requirements are purposefully full of exemptions and loopholes.
The Queens Dem machine picked their #1 from column "A" because Grace will feed the party laundered overseas money.
Who said that the Chinese gave up the laundry business?
They're washing "Greenbacks" now...
no more "shirties"...that's the "tickie".
Well,
that puts a whole new slant on things.
I CANT BELIEVE NO ONE HAS COMMENTED ON THE FACT THAT THE PIC LOOKS LIKE CROWLEY IS THE PUPPET MASTER AND GRACE THE MARIONETTE
Just watched a hearing on city council's committee on fire & criminal justice services chaired by Virginia Joe Crowley's cousin Elizabeth. It is mind boggling that Elizabeth Crowley is allowed to chair any committee. This woman can't communicate. I live in Rego Park and never heard her speak. I can't believe it. Sounds like she has marbles in her mouth and she can't put together a sentence without stumbling. It is very difficult to understand her. She's also clueless, she was chewing gum during the entire hearing while asking questions. It was embarrassing.
Crowley looks like a puppet master and Grace a marionette. There, I said it genius. Any other important comments that would further the discussion?
how many commenters printed the J.P.C.A letter from Q.C. and sent it tp Queens churches,civic assoc.'s and community organizations ?
i did.....
