Hammond: Sheldon Silver is charged with robbing the poor



How typical is that:

What sets the beautiful charges against Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver apart from other Albany scandals is the breathtaking cynicism and hypocrisy of his alleged schemes.

Liberal Democrat that he is, Silver has constantly self-righteously postured as the champion of the poor and downtrodden.

But if the details presented by federal prosecutors prove correct, he was exploiting small guys with abandon.
