City councilman pees on club guests
RAW STORY
Published: Sunday November 9, 2008



Police and staff at a Washington club allege that a drunken city official has given new meaning to the slang term "going to the head."

According to police and sources from Washington's 9:30 Club, 44-year-old Jersey City, New Jersey Councilman Steven Lipski was ejected after being witnessed by club staff urinating onto fellow patrons from a second-floor balcony during a performance by a Grateful Dead tribute band.

"We've dealt with this man before," the source told the New York Daily News. "He's never peed on anybody, but he gets really belligerent and drunk."

Lipski, currently serving his second term, has been charged with simple assault. Aide Irina Zaki told the News that she had no knowledge of Lipski's arrest.

A Glass House Begs for Breakage

... It seems there is a website now dedicated to bringing down Mr. Lipski. Apparently, it was started by Mr. Lipski's former campaign manager, Steve Kush of Kush and Associates. Apparently, there is some bad blood between Kush and Lipski over campaign related expenses ...

Among other things, Mr. Lipski is accused of drinking and driving, causing damage to a City owned vehicle, and generally being a slob. Of more interest to me is the accusation that Lipski's mayoral bid was nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt to prevent Lou Manzo from winning the mayoral contest ...

The Kush site brings other questions to my mind, though. First of all, Steve Kush advertises (one might say he brags) about representing REPUBLICAN candidates. Now, it is entirely possibly that he was so struck with Mr. Lipski that he made an exception. That doesn't seem to be the case - or if it is, it is a well hidden secret. Of course, people who know Mr. Lipski from his youth tell me that he was a fervent Young Republican who jumped to the Democratic Party just to get into office. Given Mr. Lipski's support for Bret Schundler, it seems that perhaps he hasn't gotten that red-ness out of his blood ...

It brings to mind another Lipski quote from the investigation over his mismanagement of the CREATE school he loves to brag about: "I was cited, not indicted" or perhaps his claim: "But were criminal or are they moral? And I would say absolutely not.". It also brings to mind the recent revelation that he has some ties to Russel Thomas Fallacara - an alleged mobster ...

19. Ah okay

That makes sense then, because it'd be pretty impossible for a Republican to get elected there. I lived there as a kid, and my parents were always active in local politics.

11. The city council is nonpartisan

I tried a Google search with the assclown's name along with 'democrat' and 'republican,' which generated a number of hits in the 'comments' section of news articles. I read at least three comments from repukes, saying something to the effect, 'he must be a Democrat. If he was a Republican, it would have been mentioned in the first paragraph.'

Since Jersey City sees fit to hold 'nonpartisan' elections for their City Council, I'll opine that The Urinator displays decidedly repuke characteristics.

On edit: I found out about the nonpartisan thingie from Wikipedia :hi:
For when you're in a hurry and want some down'n'dirty info, don't forget the Wiki!

14. Sadly, he is apparently a "D"

He ran for mayor several years ago as a reform candidate, though he described himself as a Dem. Also, he recently attended a party Nancy Pelosi threw at which several members of the Dead performed. This was compiled from several sources found on Google.

4. He took trickle-down economics way too literally.

9. LOL! nt

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

17. OMFG

:spray:

[whistle]

7. At this level can these politicians be affiliated with republicans or democrats...

...and if so is New Jersey Councilman Steven Lipski a republican?

I saw posters for these Councilman positions all over Orlando FL and no party affiliations indicated.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

10. In NJ, town councilmen run with a party affiliation

And I'm pretty positive he's a Dem, because it's extremely rare for Republicans to get elected in Hudson County. Almost everyone there is a minority. I grew up the next city over, and it's like 97% hispanic.

[Whoa_Nelly]

8. He's an alcoholic and very disturbed

Hope he gets the help he needs

13. Wonder what tune they were playing...

"Looks like rain"?
