Admittedly this isn’t as critical as I think editorial cartoons should be.  It’s really just a visualization of what I suspect may have been Governor David Paterson’s reaction to getting involved with the Gowanus Canal.  I get the feeling he wasn’t aware what a money sucking sludge-pit it really was until after he threw his support behind the Superfund plan.  Now that he’s up to speed he’s decided Mayor Bloomberg can have his stinky canal and all of the unwitting future residents of the waterfront condos the Toll Bros. development company is so eager to build there (before it’s considered even remotely safe) will suffer the consequences of the rush to development before the canal is clean.  For no reason.  Because there are already too many new buildings in Brooklyn already. Fools. Come on back Gov., the water’s fine.  Maybe you can get yourself one of those nice condos on the water so you can get that warm summer whiff of raw sewage everybody raves about.
