The news from the last week in state government has been particularly poor for the Democratic Party.

First there was Malcolm Smith getting caught threatening lobbyists …

Then, Sam Hoyt admits an affair … and the Assembly is investigating it.

And the spokesman for the Democrats in the State Senate resigns suddenly.

So I have to wonder aloud … are the wheels coming off the Democratic Party’s tricycle in this state?
