Not to continue beating an expired pony, but the Lenihan Hoax Letter turns out to be a pretty transparent phoney which was cut and pasted from a genuine letter sent out by the current Erie County Dems Chairman, with additional content added by someone whose last name rhymes with “Fleece” or “Cease.” If you look closely you can actually see the places where it was cut and pasted, but apparently some folks didn't look as closely as they should have.

Now some of those individuals who were taken in by it all seem to be mad at me when actually, they should be angry at Mr. “Fleece” since he's the one who fooled them.

Meanwhile, we are hearing that those Albany potentates who are trying to promote a reluctant Tony Masiello for county Dem chairman may be succeeding in their goal of uniting the party...That is uniting it against what some see as a move to impose a chairman on the locals who want to pick their own leader rather than having someone chosen for them.
