With all the problems in this neighborhood, why haven't we ever seen this "dedicated community leader" showing outrage BEFORE she was running for office? Where has she been since 2001? Wait...I think I know. It was only after Brian McLaughlin pled guilty that he let Elizabeth Crowley out of his office.
Check this out from the NY Post:
...one day in 2004 - as McLaughlin explored running for mayor - he skipped out on an interview with a New York Times reporter, after hiding out in his office with Elizabeth Crowley.
She's his close political pal and a failed City Council candidate. "Brian wouldn't come out of his office - I was banging on the door," said a former staffer at the New York Central Labor Council, which McLaughlin headed.
From the Queens Chronicle:
Elizabeth Crowley, a cousin of Congressman Joseph Crowley and a political ally of McLaughlin, has been reported to be one of three female friends with whom he had "a close personal relationship," according to the indictment.
One of three...How about this from the NY Post?
A second woman with whom he allegedly had a personal relationship received thousands of dollars in union checks and was given a no-show job with a contractor who used union workers, the feds said.
WHY DOESN'T ANYONE IN THE NEWS MEDIA ASK ELIZABETH CROWLEY ABOUT HER ADULTEROUS RELATIONSHIP WITH AN ADMITTED FELON AND THE FACT THAT HER NAME WAS MENTIONED IN A FEDERAL INDICTMENT?

I guess Brian was too busy banging her to notice someone banging on his
office door!
Adultery and corruption are standard fare for Queens dem/clubhouse crooks!
Good Question.
That is because the Queens media is controlled by out of touch Bayside Biddies and adverstising check collectors for the developers and politicians.
The point is here is boys, unless you guys shape up, blogs like Crappie are making you, well, yesterday's news!
Lets see how Shenkler and the Tribune handles this.
Or better yet, since we all know he will not, what he writes about the next week or so, which sends a message on what he thinks is more important (and a message to us as to where is he coming from).
I don't like Crowley and am offended by her candidacy, but you are making an accusation here with no evidence. Is there any evidence at all beside the fact that they were friends of an affair?
If you are going to push for an investigation of an affair based on nothing, why aren't you pushing for an investigation into Ognibene's prior involvement with and gift-taking from a corrupt buildings department official?
If Elizabeth Crowley was not one of the women listed in McLaughlin's federal indictment detailing his crimes and deception, why doesn't she ask the U.S. Attorney's Office to clear her name? She has offered the public no proof to exonerate her reputation and innocence. Many, many, many people saw them in action back in the day groping each other in bars, restaurants and other public venues. She is a liar with no ethics or morals. Her entire City Council tenure will be more of the same from her...lies, lack of morals and ethics, and more lies. Wake up, Queens. Do not let the Queens County organization's desperation fool you into believing she is worthy of representing you.
That "sister"is a slut...pure and simple.
We already know what Mc Laughlin is....stealing from his own little league team.
There's nothing strange about these two political bed partners.
They deserve each other!
CRIME SEX AND THE CITY
Crowley, McLaughin and Parkside all worked together to rip off the city's dollars through Kickbacks from member items.
Parkside was formed in 2002 right after Brian and the Queens machine back and elected Gifford Miller as concil speaker.
Parkside ran Miller and city hall when Miller started hiding budget money in fake non profits accounts.
Who is running Crowley's campaign this year - Evan's Parkside.
Leave it to a clubhouse pol to f--k his constituents....one at a time!
What I am amazed at his the absolute hatred tied in with slander because Elizabeth Crowley is a Democrat. The fact is many of the bloggers on this site where huge supporters of Dennis Gallagher who turned a blind eye to his "issues" becuase he did their bidding. In fact he was even "Man of the Year" for the JPCA several years back.
Its amazing to see how this site as become a shill for Republican candidates, and the extent this site will go to commit character asasination on those who don't curry favor with the leadership, or should we say lack of in the JPCA.
It's no wonder that the JPCA, and its followers have become a pariah within NYC. Rather than burn bridges m the JPCA should build them...
Mr. Mojo Risin
Would some talented writer out there put all of this together in a tightly knit screenplay and do a TV mini series!
Corruption, steaming sex,
DOB bribery, Parkside, FBI probes,
yadda, yadda, etc.
Hell, this has all the makings of an major epic!
Do you think QPTV would air it ?
Her talent lies between her thighs!
Politics seems to be quite an aphrodisiac, judging by the number
of f--k buddies it's breeding!
A regular political Peyton Place!
NO JOURNALISM IN THE CITY
No wonder the New York Times, Post and the Daily News are losing readers and ads. they don't cover what is really going on in this city. If they cover this camaign at all it is a dumb he said she said story by a young reporter who has not clue what is really going on.
The Parkside/Gallagher crew is at it posting once again, busily defending clubhouse politics!
The Democratic dictatorship rules Queens with an iron hand.
The lack of any real competition between political parties leads to more swindling of constituents!
Unfortunately, we have a one party system here and that's bad for all of us.
It's high time you Republicans put up some serious candidates and not some of those laughable fools that appear on the ballot....eh Ragusa!
Build bridges rather than burn 'em ....eh?
FU !
I was taught to bite my rapist's
dick off rather than kiss his ass!
Maybe JPCA had no other choice
left to them after they were betrayed by the pols that pledged to look out after the community's welfare!
ELECT BONNIE AND CLYDE
Crowley the Democrat having a fling with Brian McLaughlin the convicted fellon Democrat tops drunks real estate bagman and congressman with two familes.
I personally have endorsed Charles Ober and JPCA has not endorsed anyone. However, our general consensus is that if Elizabeth Crowley or Anthony Como get elected, it would be a disaster for District 30. That leaves Ognibene and Ober, and may the best man win.
Maybe Elizabeth can explain why she is for housing at the St. Saviour's site. I've been dying to ask her, but she manages to evade me, like when she and Evan Stavisky refused to sit in the green room with me before the NY1 debate. This is the candidate who says she is going to "bring people together". Can't do that if you're afraid of your own constituents.
crappy makes a good point. where has this woman been for 7 years and why should we vote for her?
Crowley sounds like a real political whore who's trying to get a promotion to being the pimp. All around it's just pathetic.
"I'm not on the community board, my sister is." Why not Liz? Too much work for you?
I'm glad that the Democrats, including Mr. Mojo Risin' are admitting that Como and Crowley were too chicken to show up to the debate and that there was no scheduling conflict as they are spinning to the newspapers. Thank you!
Yes, Gallagher's blog and the comments posted here are very revealing. Better than a hit piece!
Elizabeth Crowley hired the Parkside Group to run her campaign and will do whatever they tell her to do, like advocate against the community and for overdevelopment. It's that simple. The old Queens machine is still running.
Evan Stavisky evaded little Christina? What a big pussy Toby raised!
Not being able to give straight answers to questions, or knowing the answer is wrong or immoral tends to make people shy away from being asked. So that is why they wimped out of the JPCA debate. It's hard to con people who are passionate about their community and not beholden to politician handouts.
Crowley cares more about the dogs at Atlas Park than she does about the people of Maspeth, Middle Village, Glendale, Ridgewood, Woodhaven and Richmond Hill.
I can't knock her for not attending a JPCA debate. The JPCA has become a joke. But I do fault her for committing to attend and then cancelling at the last minute for no good reason. That was rude and disrespectful to all the people who attended to hear what the candidates had to say.
The JPCA has become a joke? I beg to differ. The JPCA was the only one who stood up to Gallagher this entire time and it turns out they were right about him. That's why we are having this election in the first place. Let's not blow it by hiring another no-talent empty suit who will defer to the Parkside Group on most matters.
Why are you still commenting about the JPCA debate when the topic is Elizabeth Crowley's indiscrete relationship with Brian McLaughlin? Or is that JPCA's fault, too?
Julie, we are having this election because Gallagher pleaded guilty to a crime and rightfully had to give up his council seat. His victim reported the crime, the police arrested him, and the DA prosecuted him and arranged for the plea. What did the JPCA have to do with any of that?
I said they were right about Gallagher being a pig. His being a pig is the reason we are having this election. Having trouble understanding? The JPCA was the only one to stand up against his piggishness. Thank you.
You know what's sad is that the other pols knew Gallagher was a pig but defended him anyway because he was one of their little club. So maybe the rest of them need to be looked at more closely. Lots of skeletons in their offices, I'm sure. And this bimbo has them going in.
Elizabeth Crowley and the Crowley clan boast about their father and mother being in the council and that making them qualified to run, but thanks to crappy we now know the truth about how their parents got there - They were Manes cronies!!!! And Elizabeth is a Stavisky and Gallagher crony! God this borough is so damn corrupt!!!!
Elizabeth Crowley has been hiding for the past few years hoping the McLaughlin connection would not be brought out into the forefront. All the protests that were held she was absent from, all the issues on the front burner she stayed silent on. She never had anything to say at the community board public forum. She is a no-talent hack who is banking on her name. She has not accomplished a damn thing in her life. The fact that she was introduced as "Glendale resident Elizabeth Crowley" by NY1 is proof of that. They couldn't find anything to refer to her as. Please, people, go vote ABC - Anybody But Crowley!!
I am a member of a union and the rest of the workers are embarrassed that the union endorsed this nitwit. She is everything that the union should be fighting against. We need to rid ourselves of the McLaughlin albatross and this is not the way to do it...
Former Council Speaker and Parkside puppet Gifford Miller hired a lawyer. Looks like the U.S. Attorney is expanding his investigation into member items and the fake non profit they funded.
Are they looking to see if Parkside the entire member item scam operation?
Do you think Brian McLoughin Crowley lover who pleaded in Federal Court to taking money from everywhere, assembly member items, unions and even a little league did not get a piece of Parksides' city operation?
It is sad how NY1 puts Parkside's Evan Stavisky on there city hall show every week and never asked him about about any of his corruption.
Brian McLaughlin is flipping on Parkside in order to get himself more lenient sentencing later this summer. Keep your ear to the ground, Crappy.
The fact that she would even take advantage of her family name and background to run for a public office for which she is completely unqualified is offensive.
"The fact that she would even take advantage of her family name and background to run for a public office for which she is completely unqualified is offensive."
This is because cousin Joe Crowley wants another puppet to control. You see, it doesn't matter how dumb she is, she just has to do what she's told. Joe is hoping that the Crowley name and lots of money thrown at the unions and dirtbag lobbyests will get the bimbo elected. He could care less how humiliating it would be for the people of the district to be represented by such an unqualified airhead.
What he didn't think about is that it will be equally embarrassing for him and the party. BAD MOVE JOE.
"Evan Stavisky evaded little Christina? What a big pussy Toby raised!"
Ever see a pic of the guy? His face actually looks like one.
""I'm not on the community board, my sister is." Why not Liz? Too much work for you?"
There are a lot of dim bulbs on that community board, but even Lizzy is apparently too stupid for them. That should tell you something.
There are a lot of dim bulbs on that community board

None more dimmer than "Mugsy" the coke dealing spawn of a garbage picking hobo. This wanna be tough guy talks as if he has marbles in his mouth. A real embarrassment to our community. Thanks, Pinky, for putting this fat, drug dealing phony on the board
To Christine Wilkenson:
How would it be a disaster if Crowley and Como won, but not of Ognibene did? Wasn't he linked to real estate developers? Wasn't he the guy who elevated Dennis Gallagher to run for City Council? I mean here is a guy with a track record that is less than sterling, yet thats ok with you?
The sole issue here seems to be St.Saviors, which with all due respect, in today's economy with budget shortfalls, the price of everything going up and an expected reduction in city services down the road to meet projected budget gaps, isn't the big issue that the JPCA makes it out to be.
Knowing how the JPCA operates, I don't blame either Crowley or Como for not showing up. The JPCA has a history of being biased towards certain candidates and silencing and insulting people in Midlde Village who don't agree with them.
Mr. Mojo Risin
So this all about her having an alleged affair? Is that how we decide who are candidates should be. There were rumors for years about Gallagher screwing around, and the JPCA had no problem with it. And the reason was because Gallagher was a Republican and did the JPCA's bidding.
Its interesting how the same people who are trashing Crowley about having an affair, seemed to make an exception when Rudy was Mayor.
Oh I forgot, Rudy was a Republican too...:)
Mr. Mojo Risin
Dear Mr. Mojo Risin (who is too chicken to post under his real name),
This is about much more than St. Saviour's. Tom Ognibene does not scare me in the way that Elizabeth Crowley does. Tom Ognibene is a very experienced and capable lawmaker. He's made mistakes and I don't always agree with his positions, but I would not be embarrassed to have him as my council member were Ober not to be elected, who is my first choice. Elizabeth Crowley and Anthony Como on the other hand, cannot answer simple questions, they lack the necessary skills to govern and have made careers out of sucking off the teats of the Queens machine. Como cannot speak in complete sentences and Crowley's portfolio of experience consists of accomplishments by her relatives. As much as you love to bash JPCA, I haven't heard you offer one positive about either of these two candidates. In fact, you were proven wrong by saying that JPCA has a problem with anyone who isn't a Republican. I am not a Republican, the president of the organization is not a Republican. And if we don't like Como as well as Crowley then I would say that it is machine politics we are fed up with, not one particular party or another. If this is the best that the political clubs have to offer then Queens is in deep crap.
Maybe Mojo can explain why Helen Marshall and Karen Koslowitz were photographed at St. Saviour's with the JPCA and sent the photo out to all the newspapers earlier this month. After all, St. Saviour's is a non-important issue and the JPCA supposedly are pariahs.
I have nothing but respect for people who fight against the Queens Machine. No one should be expected to kiss their politician's ass while said politician is shitting on them. At least juniper people sign their real names to their published articles, not like the cowards posting comments here.
"How would it be a disaster if Crowley and Como won, but not of Ognibene did?"
Are you kidding me? How would you feel if Britney Spears would run for office in your district? Would you want to be represented by someone who comes off as a complete and total idiot?
If either of these bozos gets elected, I'm moving out of D30, period.
So how is Elizabeth Crowley bad for the district?
----------
Well, Mojo, since you like names, lets call you Dipshit.
How is she good for the district, considering dear cuz got where he is by someone making a mockery of the elective process.
BTW, I know Ray Manzerek, and from what he told me about Jim, its rather obscene for a party hack like you to even invoke his memory. Meeting clubhouse cronies like you would make Jim roll over in his grave.
You bums stand for everything he was against.
At least juniper people sign their real names to their published articles, not like the cowards posting comments here.

Yes, they are as bad as clubhouse hacks cutting deals and sneaking around smoke filled rooms behind clubhouse doors.
"Knowing how the JPCA operates, I don't blame either Crowley or Como for not showing up. The JPCA has a history of being biased towards certain candidates and silencing and insulting people in Midlde Village who don't agree with them.
Mr. Mojo Risin"
Clearly Mr. No Know Mojo lives up to his name.
If he had merely attended the JPCA debate, he would know better than to make such idiotic comments.
But bashing the JPCA is far more important to No Know than knowing something.
You've been boring for a long time, Mr. No Know. Read a book before you come back.

-=---------------------------------
And we give a damn what this drug addicted, over-rated, public masturbater would think about politics?
Mojo,
Tell me exactly what qualifications Crowley has other than being related to a Political family?
If you aren't embarrassed by the lack of intelligence that is glaringly obvious in her public speaches and statements, then I have to assume your intellect is on the same level as hers. Did you see the NY1 Debate? The same goes for Como's mumbling and bumbling. I'd be humiliated to have one of them spaking on the council floor, claiming to represent me.
And when did the other MV civic endorse Como? In fact, I haven't heard a peep out of them since their spiritual leader admittied to assaulting a granny.
"If this is the best that the political clubs have to offer then Queens is in deep crap"
In this election, both parties have offered us their worst instead of their best. There are two intelligent candidates who were snubbed by the parties in favor of two moronic puppets. This is a gross insult to the people of this district.
"Its interesting how the same people who are trashing Crowley about having an affair, seemed to make an exception when Rudy was Mayor.
Oh I forgot, Rudy was a Republican too...:)"
Rudy was having an affair, but not with a corrupt union boss who indicted for stealing money from children. That's a big difference, but at least he was a Dem, right Mojo?
Get off the party bandwagon, and open your eyes to the shit that's being put in front of you.
I just found out that Congressman Crowley also was give his job by the machine. Manton resigned in mid term. The machine appointed Crowley the Democrat nomination and he limited opposition. Most reelection he does not even face a republican opponent because of a deal with the Republican party to cross endorse each others incumbents.
So both Elizebets Parents and cousin were given elective office by the corrupt queens machne.
GOOGLE this:
"United States of America, Appellee, - v. - Francis Crowley"
Read: http://vlex.com/vid/36385714
and then:
http://court.osdir.com/F3/318/318.F3d.401.html
Then ask this Crowley candidate (who wants to replace the confessed/convicted sexual predator Gallagher) exactly who Francis Crowley is.
She boasts of her family connections; let's hear what she says about Francis.
Do we need more perverts in this Council seat?
She cannot have it both ways. If she's great because of her family, then she's shit because of her family.
This election is not about Francis Crowley, or Joe Crowley. It is about Liz Crowley, who has no qualifications whatsoever and 3 other opponents. I have still not made my mind up between Ognibene, who has a lot of needed experience and Ober, who is a needed fresh face. The other two are a total joke.
"Rudy was having an affair, but not with a corrupt union boss who indicted for stealing money from children. That's a big difference, but at least he was a Dem, right Mojo?"
You lose all credibility if you even try to defend Rudy. What Rudy did was worse than Liz. He had an affair in public and his wife found out he wanted a divorse through the press. Rudy married a cousin then tried to get it annulled and he had one of the most corrupt administrations in recent memory. Remember Kerik and Harding?
Rudy only did what most Mayors would have done during 9/11. If it weren't for 9/11, Rudy would just be a footnote in history. Ever wonder why so many 9/11 families hate him?
This isn't about Rudy, it's about Liz. Stick to talking about Liz and how unqualified to be councilperson she is.
Rudy was one of this city's greatest mayors. His marital and personal relationships had nothing to do with his job. Who are you to judge his personal relationships? I also don't really care if Crowley had an affair. The McLaughlin connection is disturbing just because she had such a close political relationship with a corrupt politician. She has no skills, and this relationship among others have led to her getting this opportunity that she doesn't deserve.
Lizze has got to be some big time slut to generate 63 responses to this posting!
I think the reason (for the posting on this thread) is the people are trying to take back their city one seat at a time.
They got rid of Pinky, now they hope for an Avella.
Good for them! Let their be 100 or 200 posts if it means the public will get educated (God knows they will get nothing useful in the press)
The problem is, when the real Avella leaves, who will replace him?
The folks in his district should be raising hell, too.
"The problem is, when the real Avella leaves, who will replace him?"
Looks like a Vallone (Paul).
Rudy wasn't a great Mayor in fact he was GOD AWFUL. He took credit for bratton turning the NYPD around by taking the cops out of the cars and back onto the beat, and cops feel good about them selves. The minute Bratton makes the cover of Time magazine, as the man who is cleaning up NY, Guiliani flies into a rage and dumps him. Then he appoints a guy who wasn't even a cop, Safir to run the NYPD. From their he rewarded cops who kissed his ass, ans didn't talk about all the problems. After that he appoints his friggin chauffeur Kerik, to be Police Commissioner.
What did Guiliani do? The porn was being driven out under Dinkins. More cops? BIll Clinton gave the city the money to hire 13,000 cops.
Rudy didn't do a friggin thing except take responsbility for everyone else's good work, cheated on his wife, built the Emergency Headquarters in the wrong spot (dispute the fact he was told by the Feds, and his own police department to build at Police Plaza)and paid the cops and fire fighters garbage. He didn't do crap for the city...
He tried talking about what he did for NY when he ran for President, even ultra wing Republicans thought he was a lying chaeting wind bag.
He couldn't get elected rat catcher in NYC. But I'm sure he would win the majority of the votes in Middle Village. Just as long as he has that -R after his name.
You guys would vote Republican even Satan got the GOP nod. I can see you right wingers now.."Yeah that Satan knows how to handle Criminals, not like that hippy liberal Jesus guy"
Just as long as he has that -R after his name.
------
Yes, those with the 'D' after their name are so clean!
If you liked 2,000 murders a year, high crime, high welfare rolls, and high taxes, then I see why you didn't like Rudy. Don't kid yourself that all these changes would have happened anyway if Dinkins had won re-election. It took a guy like Rudy to make the right changes for this city. People like you just hate to admit when someone else has to clean up your failures.
It seems Mojo Bozo never couldn't pass 5h grade English.
I have news for the nimrod: Dems outnumber Reps by a margin of 3-1 in Middle Village. So why don't Dems get elected? Deals are made to keep the Reps unopposed. You have to wonder why the Dems in the district aren't raising hell over this. Oh yeah, deals are made.
