Karma keeps appointment with the GOP

As I said, Senate Republicans turning a blind eye to corruption would eventually catch up with them.

Today it did:

Sen. Thomas Libous, the state Senate’s second-ranking Republican and a Southern Tier political institution for more than two decades, was convicted Wednesday of lying to the FBI, a felony that will force his removal from office.  A jury found Libous, 62, guilty of lying to federal investigators during a 2010 interview at his state Capitol office about an alleged scheme to use his influence to get his son a job at a politically connected Westchester County law firm  …”

And with his removal, Republicans no longer have a majority in the State Senate.
