Malcolm in the middle. State Sen. Malcolm Smith, top contender to replace Nanny Bloomberg, was arrested this morning by the FBI for allegedly trying to bribe his way to a shot at mayor of New York City. At a news conference, federal prosecutors showed a chart of GOP co-conspirators surrounding Smith, a Democrat, whereupon U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara uttered the immortal words:
“And you have Malcolm in the middle.”
A prosecutor with a sense of humor. Who knew it was possible?
