ALBANY—Here’s a funny exchange between Jim Tedisco and Danny O'Donnell during last night’s Assembly debate on same-sex marriage.
It starts with O’Donnell, the bill’s sponsor, agreeing to yield to Tedisco, saying, “For the congressman, anything.”
“I wish,” Tedisco replied, referencing his recent loss to Scott Murphy in good humor. “Do you have 700 votes in the back of your trunk?”
“I’m a Democrat from New York City, you bet I do,” O’Donnell replied.
Tedisco, sitting in the back row at the opposite side of the chamber, then asked O’Donnell if the legislation would permit polygamy.
O’Donnell replied that it would not.
