Dissident Democrats switch sides to hand GOP control of state Senate.

Democratic leaders were caught off guard as the Republicans and the two Democratic dissidents, Pedro Espada Jr. of the Bronx and Hiram Monserrate of Queens, moved to topple them, and at one point became so flustered that they turned out the lights in the Senate chamber to try to prevent Republicans from installing new leaders.

Asked by a reporter what was occurring, Senator Malcolm A. Smith, leader of the Senate Democrats who was huddled in the hall with his staff, responded, “I’m trying to find out right now.”

Really, dudes? Not enough we had our Governor hiring hookers and being forced to resign while trying to avoid indictment? Or that he got replaced by a BLACK GUY THAT NOBODY SAW COMING — (insert he didn’t even see himself BECAUSE HE’S BLIND! Joke)? OR THAT THE STATE IS ONE value meal away from bankruptcy and the Mayor of New York is trying to seize power forever, oh NO, that’s not enough for you turd rockets, you’ve got to switch parties in the middle of a vote, so now we have TWO house majority leaders and will have to revote on every piece of legislation that has gone through in the last month?

Morons. Why do we let Queens and Bronx even have representation in the Senate? Their only claims to fame are that they are better than Staten Island, like that’s even hard to do.
