Sal Being Sal

August 1, 2008 By hubspoke

Sal Being Sal is getting to be like Manny Being Manny, with all the points of convergence in the two stories you care to draw.

Sal DiMasi, Thomas Petrolati raked in $42G as eye bill stalled

House Speaker Salvatore F. DiMasi and his second-in-command hauled in a combined $42,000 in two days from eye doctors and their lobbyists as a law that would hurt their business was condemned to legislative limbo, a Herald review has found.

From the recent Vennochi column:

What’s more important? The policy DiMasi champions for liberal constituencies or the connections he champions for friends?

Rephrased:

What’s more important? Manny’s great slugging or the petulant whining, poor team spirit and pall he brings to the clubhouse?

    They can send City Councilor Ed Reyes to Pittsburgh and we’ll end up with Pitsburgh Police Chief Nathan Harper.
