@OrneryBabe: If he ever gets busted, I hope it’s for some white collar crime so we can say: "Well, I guess he spent too much time... In The Papers."

Dean Meminger Jr. is such a nice guy and a decent reporter. He seems to be a real person reporting what he sees, rather than being a blowhole hogging air time or preening for the camera.

It's difficult to see someone you love and care about sinking with the ship. I hope Mr. Meminger Sr. has a speedy recovery, and that the other affected families find shelter and comfort soon.

There are skeletons in every families closet. Noone is perfect. Please have compassion and consider what others may be going through when they don't behave exactly as you wish they would. You do not know what they are experiencing. These are trying times for everyone.
Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Lewis Dodley is such a gentleman. I have met him many times and was always impressed.

That’s it. I can’t take it anymore, this Dominic Carter-bashing. First, Mr. and Mrs. Carter often beat the shit out of one another. I’m not condoning this, but they need to go to counseling or breakup. Dominic should not have hit back; though his wife is larger and stronger, that’s still no excuse .

For this, Dominic will serve jail time, as he should. As for his name-dropping, hey, who doesn’t do that when they can? I use Rachael Ray’s name every time I go to my favorite Midtown restaurant.

Finally, Inside City Hall without Carter is just a waste of airtime. No one on NY1’s staff is capable of handling Al D’Amato and Edward I. Koch, except for Dominic Carter. He asks smart questions can hold his own with any guest and is generally on top of most of the New York City and State issues.

So he should serve his time, apologize, work things out with his wife, and get back to work.

@Nesbiteme: You know what’s sick? Hiram Monserrate did worse, had ample evidence, and got off. Dominic Carter is no angel but the politics reporter does time, but the politician gets off.

Complete hypocrisy.

They should throw the bloody wife in with him. The thought of her possibly putting the life of an innocent man in jeopardy simply because she wants to retract her story should make her eligible for some sort of punishment........since we can't simply punish stupidity.

@Buttafooco: It's a hazy situation, though. I mean, abused women have been known to lie to protect the scumbag assholes who abuse them. It's part of the psyche of victims of domestic abuse, unfortunately. I agree that it's unfortunate and it could have led to some serious charges being leveled on an innocent person, but I don't know how much blame I place on the wife when she's undoubtedly under a lot of guilt and stress from this asshole. I imagine the pressure to "protect" him so he keeps his job and reputation was immense.

@SybilDisobedience: I absolutely agree with all of your points but I was referring to the linked article where she is now claiming that a day laborer assaulted her. I have no doubt she's got a great deal of guilt over what happened and she herself, is a victim but to then potentially blame an innocent person is just as bad as the original crime.

@Buttafooco: They have two sons together, one of whom has epilepsy and requires lots of medical attention. I imagine the realization that him losing his job and career (probably their main source of income) and potentially splitting up the family and sons played some role in her decision to change her story and protect him. I don't agree with it, but I would assume those were factors.
Ultimately, the blame is on him. It was his decision to pick up his hand and strike a woman -- on many occasions, apparently -- and he should own up to it and take responsibility. Dominic, stop whining. YOU did this to yourself.

Oh, right. Your wife kicked you out and you're at the Roosevelt with Don Draper.

HamNo, what does his being declarative have to do with this? (Seriously, thanks for laying off the fat jokes. I do agree with those who feel this is becoming too sad for snark, especially if the man is contemplating suicide.) #dominiccarter
