How Can We Miss You When You Refuse to Go Away? Democrats Fete Esty.

U.S. Representative Elizabeth Esty makes a stop in leafy Harwinton on her long farewell tour. The disgraced 5th District Democrat will be the guest of honor at a November 17th reception featuring a clutch of area Democratic leaders.

Esty was forced to drop her bid for a fourth term in the spring when the Hearst papers and the Washington Post dropped a Maundy Thursday bombshell that the wealthy Cheshire Democrat kept abusive chief of staff Tony Baker employed in her Washington office when despite knowing of his appalling treatment of a staff member.

Esty later arranged a soft landing for Baker, helping him obtain a job in the Ohio office of anti-violence group Sandy Hook promise. Baker also received a severance payment from taxpayers without objection from the complicit Esty. What did he have on her?

No word on when 5th District Democrats will honor brave former staffer Anna Kain, the victim. They prefer to toast the enabler As she continues her unsavory quest for self-preservation.
