| Description | Douglas L. Hoffman's Conservative campaign for Congress had an inauspicious start Friday when the party's boss overshadowed his press conference with an unprovoked skewering of the Republican nominee.
"Dede Scozzafava is becoming the poster girl for the New York Times," said state Conservative Chairman Michael Long, rapping a copy of The Gray Lady for effect. "When you think about it, she is clearly becoming the Bernie Madoff of New York politics. She is running the biggest, biggest scam on the Republican Party that I've seen in years."
That "scam," Mr. Long said at a press conference at Castaways Riverside Restaurant, was "posing as a Republican when she's really not a bona fide Republican."
Mr. Hoffman stood frozen. Minutes earlier, six Conservative county chairs and two regional vice chairmen had recommended that the Lake Placid accountant become the party's nominee for the 23rd Congressional District seat. |
