Fordham law professor Zephyr Teachout is promising to remain a thorn in Gov. Cuomo's side -- the former gubernatorial challenger is re-joining forces with the Working Families Party Tuesday to fight Cuomo on charter schools, the Daily News has learned.

The WFP -- which picked Teachout as its candidate for governor before ditching her to endorse Cuomo in the Democratic primary last June -- is teaming up with its old ally to fight Cuomo's efforts to raise the state's cap on charter schools in a possible special session next week.

On Tuesday, they plan to release a report entitled “Corruption in Education: The Hedge Fund Takeover of New York's Schools."

1. The WFP are idiots

They fucking backed Cuomo despite all the evidence that even a blind man and a brain dead cat could see proving he was a goddamned Vichy Democrat ready, willing and able to work for the GOP.

Had you chance, sided with Cuomo. Thank you for playing.

2. I'm not going to kill the message because of the messenger

I don't care who blasts this horn. It has to be blasted. Teachout has some visibility now and hope people will start listening.

3. Oh, it's fine that they are fighting back

just too damned late. Kind of like starting a transfusion after the patient has bled out and is approaching room temperature.
