EDITORIAL: Endorsement withdrawn: Character questions continue to dog Sweeney
Post-Star withdraws endorsement in wake of latest controversy regarding domestic violence call

There's a time when you have to say, enough. Here is one such time.

Serious allegations of domestic violence were raised against Congressman John Sweeney earlier this week after three newspapers published police accounts of a 911 call to his home in December.

The congressman has said he wants the truth to come out. But his actions in the wake of the incident and the disclosure of the 911 call in the media indicate otherwise.

The congressman's staff first responded to the police report on Wednesday by claiming the document was "fabricated" and "concocted" by an unnamed operative in the campaign of his opponent, Kirsten Gillibrand.

3. Great post and about time!

Let's hope that The Post Star does the right thing, and endorses Gillibrand, now that they're on a roll, but I'm not holding my breath...*sigh*
