When Huntington Conservatives honored Michael O'Donohoe with a lifetime-achievement award earlier this month, Edward Walsh, the party's Suffolk chairman, praised the former county lawmaker - but also noted he had a reputation as a "bomb thrower."

Then O'Donohoe got up to accept the award. True to form, he did not let Walsh off easy for supporting Democratic County Executive Steve Levy for governor.

"I know Ed Walsh is busy and has to leave early," jibed O'Donohoe, now Suffolk's commissioner of jurors. "He has to go over to Steve Levy's house and scrape the Obama bumper stickers off the county executive's car."
