    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

    I dunno. This sounds a bit too flippant when you have a family coming apart at the seams because of a violent father, and the abused mom and kids don't need to be brought into this. #dominiccarter

    Again, HamNo: what does his stoutness have to do with anything? What is this weight obsession? Weight has nothing to do with the man's character. And when reading the final line of your piece, we should remember, if I may be all civics-class schoolmarmish, that this man is as yet convicted of nothing at all.

    What's a Cipriani? Someone from Cyprus?

    And speaking of tennis:

    "The Cipriani boasts the only tennis courts and swimming pool in central Venice "

    This reminds me - as what doesn't? - of the moral relativism of Mark Twain. Remember him? He sailed to europe one year, and violated a quarantine to sneak onto the island with some other boys to observe the Pantheon. Returning, he and his henchmen would wander into fig fields to gather what they may. They began to notice shadowy figures behind them on the darkening trail back to the dock. Herders, working as guards for the figfield fiefdom. So Mark and crew hurried, whereupon the herders did likewise, and then the boys broke into a run, and so did the herders, and then the boys cast aside all their store of figs, "Not because we feared the herders, but because we had come to believe that stealing is wrong." #giuseppecipriani

    I truly hope that he never comes back. If we're lucky, all the restaurants will be closed and the entire family will be deported.

    Downtown Cipriani is the worst restaurant in New York. Loud. Crowded. Terrible service and mediocre food.

    The fact that this restaurant is always crowded is proof that a certain segment of the city's wealthy are foolish, tasteless wankers. #giuseppecipriani

    @smithhimself: The food is overpriced. I actually work in the building that houses the (awesome) Midtown catering space, and it has a little attached deli that is quite the ripoff.

    The catering space gets used all the time - it used to be a bank, and it's very dramatic. Maybe someone else can take it over and provide better food. #giuseppecipriani

    @BettyCrocker: Overpriced and awful.

    The worst restaurants that tourists go to are an unholy three:

    Tavern on The Green (although maybe that will change with new ownership)

    The Rainbow Room (Once, I found a staple in my rice at this place and the waiter accused me of placing it there)

    And, of course, Mamma Leone's. Eating from a can of cat food will give you a better experience.

    Not to defend Carter, a faraway man of whom I know nothing, but didn't one paper or J-school's style manual suggest something to the effect that "burly" is often applied only to African-American men who are suspects? Perhaps problematic in the same way as "shiftless" or "uppity" with all the connotational baggage. #dominiccarter

    This is a sad day. Carter had a terrible childhood which he talked about in his book. That, of course, doesn't excuse him, but it may throw light on things.

    Carter's Inside City Hall was -- for all the criticism levelled here -- one of the more important vehicles for inside information on New York state and city politics. Carter's innovative "Yes or No" questions ("Have you ever smoked pot ..") when he was a NY1 debate moderator were breaths of fresh air.

    If those terrible charges are true, however, none of those innovations will matter. #dominiccarter

    Carter is a smug interviewer whose questions often contain self-congratulations ("I have long been an advocate of..."), and Paterson is right about his sucking-upness (the way he treats Al D'amato as a Delphic oracle); come to think of it, he's the Charlie Rose of the projects. Also, didn't he have some sort of temper problem several years ago when he was the City Hall beat reporter? This is not to say he is guilty as charged now. I don't know because I don't know the evidence, and I surely can't know what is in his soul or his wife's, so I'm not judging. #dominiccarter

    Many years ago, on the NY 1 website, Dominic Carter used to describe himself as a "diamond in the rough."

    I guess some facets remained unpolished. #dominiccarter
