Ana And David, Sitting In A Tree

Here's a little taste of the level Republican politics has dropped to in Miami-Dade County.

From the Herald, we get a wonderful picture of Congressman David Rivera's political "pal," Ana Alliegro [right].

Alliegro is a key figure in a federal investigation of Sternad’s campaign finances that focuses on the funneling of tens of thousands in cash tied to U.S. Rep. David Rivera.

Authorities believe Rivera and Alliegro, both Republicans, helped the Democratic Sternad undermine a political rival in his recent congressional primary race.

“Politics is rough and I play like it,” Alliegro, 42, once tweeted on Twitter.

So what's "playing rough" for Ana?

In January 2007, she was arrested in a dispute with her ex-husband, Moshe Cosicher, at his Tigertail Ave. home in Coconut Grove. They had been divorced for two years, but Alliegro wanted to get remarried, according to reports from Miami police and prosecutors.

“We are going to Vegas,” she told Cosicher, a report said. The report noted that when Cosicher refused, she grabbed a gun, which appeared to be a .45 that she kept at bed side.

She then sat naked at a desk with her leg up and compared the gun to a male sexual organ.

“If you think your [expletive] is powerful (showing the gun), this is mine,” Alliegro told Cosicher, who tried to ignore her by going to make coffee, a report said. Alliegro followed him and told him to sit on the couch.

She fired a round into the ceiling.

Oh, but that's not all...

Alliegro, a single mother, has politics in her blood: Her grandfather was the president of the Senate in Cuba during the Fulgencio Batista era in the 1950’s.

Her father, Anselmo Alliegro, who once helped train contra rebels in Nicaragua for the U.S. military, also made a failed bid for the Florida Legislature in 1998. He ran a business called Political Intelligence.

[...]

In December 2009, Alliegro married former Miami mayor Joe Carollo. But the romance was short-lived: Carollo — a former police officer — quickly filed for divorce, saying that he feared Alliegro, court records show.

Alliegro “has become irrational, abusive and has harassed the husband at all hours,” Carollo’s lawyer wrote in court papers. “The wife has left several threatening messages and texts. The husband genuinely fears for his safety.”

Read the whole Herald article and then head to The Straw Buyer for a nice arrest photo of Alliegro when she's not so Brickell Avenued up.

So now it seems she's teamed up with a congressman who ran a mail truck off the Palmetto and allegedly got rough with a girlfriend. It always seems like these kind of people manage to find each other. I'm not sure why that is, really. Kind of amazing.

But what's even more spectacular and what is so Miami-Dade County, is that many voters don't seem to mind and keep putting these human pieces of garbage in positions of power again and again and again.
