Reply #7: Well, he has had more than one wife, though not at one time...

[Rhiannon12866]

His last wife accused him of domestic abuse, but that's not the only time he's been in trouble and it just seems to get worse... x(

BTW, on "Hardball" last week, the Democratic pundit called Sweeney a wife-beater, but Tweety said that was "alleged," to which the Dem replied that his wife had said so... His last campaign was also marred by accusations of corruption and he was allegedly caught partying with under aged frat boys. :eyes:

He represented NY District 20, the one where we just had a "special election" for this very seat. It was once said Sweeney could have the job for life, if he wanted it, but he was ousted in 2006 by first-timer Kirsten Gillibrand, a Democrat, who was just appointed Senator from NY to replace Hillary Clinton. :-)
