The Bad Guy Loses


Hiram "Slasher" Monserrate (above) was defeated in his bid to regain the NY Senate seat he was ousted from after being convicted of slashing his girlfriend.  In yesterday's special election, Assemblyman Jose Peralta (below) won with 65% of the vote vs. 27% for Monserrate - with Republican Robert Beltrani getting only 8%.  You gotta love New York City - even a convicted domestic abuser gets 3 times as many votes as a Republican.


In typical "Only In New York" fashion, Monserrate is expected to run for the NY State Assembly seat that Peralta will be vacating.  Oy.
