Sen. Hiram Monserrate and Sen. Pedro Espada: Call them Dumb & Dumber

Hiram Monserrate (l.) and Pedro Espada Jr., a.k.a Sens. Dumb and Dumber, had a good time at the Yankees-Mets game in the Bronx on Saturday, but Hiram switched teams again.



There at Saturday's game between the Yankees and Mets were state Senator Dumb and state Senator Dumber, much better known as Hiram Monserrate and Pedro Espada Jr.

There they were in Legends Suite seats at the new Yankee Stadium, where the tickets have a face value of $650 apiece. Knowing what we know about Monserrate of Queens and Espada of the Bronx, of course, the amazing thing is that they didn't try to scalp the tickets, then head up to Espada's "second home" in Mamaroneck to watch the game on television.

With political grifters like these, a day without getting something out of their jobs is just a day of wasted opportunity. You would say that Monserrate and Espada shouldn't have been ticket holders on Saturday, they should have been ticket takers, but that would be insulting to people with real jobs.

Monserrate and Espada are the two state senators who announced last week that they were switching parties the way ballplayers switch leagues, going from Democrat to Republican, trying to give the Republicans a majority with two weeks left in the current session. This was before Monserrate finally performed a searching moral inventory - no word on how long that took - and decided he was a Democrat after all.

We heard the word "coup" used to describe the move Monserrate originally made with Espada. We also heard that this was all done in the name of reform. Right. Reform in Albany. It will happen at the same time they put a chapel in Tony Soprano's Bada Bing Club.
