Name That Party In New York

Another day, another butthead.

A Queens state senator who denies beating his girlfriend was caught on security cameras dragging the scared, bleeding woman from his apartment, law enforcement sources told the Daily News.

Newly elected Sen. Hiram Monserrate "will be convicted by the security video" taken in the hallway and outside his Jackson Heights apartment after he allegedly slashed Karla Giraldo in a jealous rage, sources said.

Such a nice man. It wasn't until the 13th paragraph that his party affiliation was named. You can bet that if he had been a Republican it would have been in the first paragraph. We would have also had screams from Dimocrats about the "culture of corruption" which only seems to apply to Republicans.

Scroll down to the bottom of the page. The only picture of a caucasian "friend" is Biden. Does this not scare people of this country or what?

I'd bet it was the headline or follow-up.
