The Replacements -- "Bastards of Young"
Sat Jan 12, 2013 at 10:00 AM PT (David Nir): Looks like we may have some news out of NJ-Sen:
Democratic Sen. Frank Lautenberg has decided not to run for re-election, NBC 4 New York has learned.
Sources familiar with Lautenberg's thinking tell NBC 4 New York that the senator, who turns 89 this month, won't run again in 2014.
But Politico
begs to differ:
“The news report that claims Senator Lautenberg has decided to retire is simply not true,” said Lautenberg spokesman Caley Gray in a statement blasted out to reporters three hours after the WNBC newscast, which cited sources familiar with Lautenberg’s thinking.
This is why stories based on unquoted, unnamed sources drive me nuts!
