The Post’s Albany man had a fun exchange this morning with the head of the state’s Democratic Party, Denny Farrell (in today’s Post, Dicker exposed that Farrell, 72, is fathering a child out of wedlock):

I just came in to let your radio listeners know what a piece of slime that you are,” Farrell declared in the Post’s state Capitol office where Dicker was broadcasting his morning show. “You’re a bully.”

Dicker defended his handling of the story and at one point took the microphone from Farrell and told him: “You’re the head of the Democratic Party and you’re acting like some street character. Obviously, you’re a little bit out of control here, Mr. Farrell.”

Later, Farrell said he felt his heated exchange with the talk show host was appropriate even if there could be negative consequences.

“My staff is going to beat the stuffing out of me for doing this, but I don’t care,” he said. “You don’t let people get away with this crap.”

Gotta love New York politics. Why, again, shouldn’t Bill Clinton run for mayor?
