Brodsky's interested in Brodsky. He's a dramatist. He likes going up against Billionaire Bloomberg. He likes how that looks. He likes how it plays in the Daily News. More often than not Brodsky's stuff is utterly ridiculous and besides the point. For example: Where the hell was Brodsky when the City and State were actually giving out the tax breaks and parking spots to the Yankess, Nets and Mets? He was nowhere to be found. Now here he comes with some emails about a luxury box for City Hall and we're supposed to think he's some kind of populist hero? Hell, City Hall should have gotten a whole lot more than a luxury box for all of the loot our elected officials handed over to these sports-owning robber barons.

Keep ragging on the few members of your government who are active and trying to help New Yorkers. Real progressives such as Brodsky will continue fighting for the little guy whether the ten bikers on here like him or not. Ahh you guys never miss a chance to bash Brodsky.
