For less ebullient and more reasoned commentary on Karp's talk, check out the Daily News here and here. The second link goes to a Dan Atkinson article. I suspect the Daily News sent their cop reporter to the meeting hoping a hockey game might break out. But alas, he walked away with a crowd reaction story.

I find it ironic that friend, neighbor and Ward 4 Councilor Ed Cameron gets the Page 1 photo with Karp given that he was one of two councilors who spoke up against the private meeting with the entire City Council.

The local blogs appear to be quiet with the exception of Peter McLelland, the former UnderToad contributor. He has the audacity to compare Steve Karp's visit to George Washington's a couple of centuries ago.

Ridiculous, I say. Washington wasn't even close to being a billionaire.


p.s. The Daily News was there shooting video so watch for something on their Web site.

Here it is. The video seems to get stuck at 3:50 but if you move the counter past the 3:50 mark and then back again it gets it restarted.

Unfortunately, the auditorium is pretty dark. Daily News should spring for an infrared camera.
