Fuck with me, "I will pound you like sand"

The Boy Wonder of New Jersey politics, 32-year old Hoboken Mayor Peter Cammarano resigned his office today. Last week, Cammarano and 42 other Democrat officeholders throughout northern New Jersey were arrested on bribery, and extortion charges involving kick-back schemes for municipal waste, garbage disposal, and sewage treatment. Cammarano had only been in office for 3 weeks. The day after his election victory he was caught on tape by the FBI saying that for those who opposed him, he would "pound them like sand."

From the AP story:

Gov. Jon Corzine had praised Cammarano as a rising star in the Democratic Party.

Corzine, along with NJ's two US Senators Bob Menendez and Frank Lautenberg attended Cammarano's swearing in ceremony as Mayor.
(Note - Menendez is from Cammarano's home county of Hudson).
