Ahem: WestView News publisher George Capsis slapped a young man several times across his face during an 11: 30 a.m. rally [for New York mayoral candidate Christine Quinn] at the base of St. Vincent's Hospital, according to witnesses. Well, we are sure that happens all the time, right? Sadly, yes!
The whole thing could have been avoided if Bloomberg had not pointed to Qunn in the middle of the rally and shouted hysterically, &quot;She&#039;s my sister <i>and</i> my daughter!&quot;
Possible explanations... A) He had a donut in his other hand but wanted to applaud. B) He was suspicious. &quot;If you see something, slap something.&quot; C) Completely normal behavior. The young man is a writer. That&#039;s how publishers thank writers for hard work.

<blockquote>A rally to highlight Christine Quinn&#039;s role in the battle to keep St. Vincent&#039;s Hospital open turned violent Monday morning when an anti-Quinn protester slapped state Sen. Brad Hoylman and then a campaign volunteer.
Our Jennifer Fermino reports:
Hoylman, who spoke in favor of mayoral candidate Quinn, was holding his toddler daughter, Sylvia, when George Capsis -- publisher of the weekly West Village newsletter Westview -- slapped him.
Capsis (pictured) then turned to a Quinn volunteer -- who appeared to be college-aged -- and smacked him several times across the face.
The volunteer -- who did not want to be identified -- ran off in horror. He was later seen crying.
Capsis later said he was emotional because his wife died two days ago in a Bronx hospital. &quot;I had to travel an hour and a half to see her,&quot; he said. &quot;I have pent-up anger.&quot;</blockquote>
Well I would not feel so all untapped, Everybody must get slapped.

Yeah, but the traffic in the Midtown tunnel is just too much!
How do you count Cosmo? Sum of all their covers (make sure you&#039;ve got a calculator with <em>a lot</em> of digits)? Median? Mean?
Oh that&#039;s right, gotta be mean with a story like this.

Necessary, but sufficient?
I love the smell of cayenne in the morning.
Why do you think he was called Punch?

You don&#039;t understand -- he&#039;s WHITE!
Or did his face run into Capsis&#039;s palm?
Zsa Zsa Gabor did it better.
Isn&#039;t slapping kind of a girly thing to do? I&#039;m just saying.....
He was standing his ground.
