IÂ’m personally surprised that the New York Times included the party affiliation in this story.

City Councilman Hiram Monserrate, a Queens Democrat who was elected to the State Senate last month, was arrested and charged with assault on Friday morning in connection with an injury to his girlfriend, law enforcement officials said.

Paul J. Browne, the Police DepartmentÂ’s top spokesman, said that Mr. Monserrate had been arrested and charged with assault in the first degree.
Officials said that Mr. Monserrate had taken his girlfriend, Karla Giraldo, 30, to Long Island Jewish Medical Center with what appeared to be a serious injury in or around her left eye.

Ms. Giraldo told hospital staff that it was Mr. Monserrate who had assaulted her, officials said. It appeared that she had been punched and slashed in or around her left eye with a shard of glass, and officials said it took 20 to 40 stitches to close the wound. A doctor at the hospital, which straddles the border between Queens and Nassau County, called the police at 4:50 a.m.

New York City police detectives arrived at the hospital, arrested Mr. Monserrate and took him to a Queens precinct house for questioning. The alleged assault occurred in Mr. MonserrateÂ’s apartment, at 37-20 83rd Street in Jackson Heights, officials said.

What a prince of a man – just one more example of the way in which New York Democrats show their respect for their women. After all, in the last year we have seen a pair of New York governors exposed for engaging in affairs behind the backs of their wives (one with a hooker, the other with a staffer). And let’s not forget the way in which New York’s junior senator was treated by her husband a few years back. I guess this sort of stuff proves that NY Democrats view women as doormats – and I’m prepared to call them on it in light of the propensity of Democrats to be outraged by the peccadillos of Republicans.
