PCP, Two Priests . . . Wolfson Pumps Fist As He Gulps Down Two Tums With His Morning Orange Juice
Tony, we’re trying here but you have to come up with something better than this:
Posted: February 22nd, 2009 | Filed under: Things That Make You Go "Oy"Mayoral hopeful Anthony Weiner — in his zest to champion middle class issues — chose a convicted felon who killed two priests to highlight child support issues.
Lisa Bongiorno appeared with Weiner at a Jan. 25 news conference where he announced his opposition to a new $25 state fee to help parents collect child support.
She was the perfect poster mom, except for one thing.
Bongiorno had been convicted of vehicular manslaughter in the deaths of two Greek Orthodox priests, the Revs. Germanos Stavropoulos, 51, and Dimitrios Frangos, 81.
She was high on angel dust and behind the wheel in March 1994 when she lost control of her Chevrolet Caprice and plowed into the priests’ car.
The men, who were stopped at a Queens traffic light, were killed on impact. Bongiorno, a legal secretary at the time, was sentenced to two to six years in prison. She was released in 1999.
The Howard Beach single mom told the Daily News she didn’t tell Weiner’s staff about her past.
