New York Assemblyman Danny O’Donnell, brother of Rosie, is a gay. He’s been serving New York for about eight years, and it might be time for him to try something new. As in: If Rep. Charlie Rangel decides not to run for re-election to Congress, guess who wants his seat?
“I like legislating,” says O’Donnell. I don’t want to be public advocate. I don’t want to be borough president…I like being a legislator, so it would be a great honor to be a member of the congressional delegation. … If you told me when I got here in 2003 that I would be interviewing for a US Senate seat I would have told you to take your medication and call me in the morning. But the world has changed.”
Ah, that O’Donnell family, always ready for life’s big achievements. And failures.

I personally know Danny — New Yorkers, gay and straight, would be extremely well-represented if he were to become our Congressman. And the rest of the U.S. would benefit by having a sane, logical, fair-minded legislator in the House of Reps. We need more Danny’s in there!

He needs to rip that damn HRC pin off his lapel.

Fritz,
Pardon my ignorance, why should he remove his HRC pin?

I love Danny O’Donnell. I would be thrilled to have him repping NY.

Wow, he looks like a male Rosie O’Donnell.

@ignorant: Cuz they are a lousy group which works really hard for the gay community to make sure that we have cocktail parties with senator’s aides instead of civil liberties.
