Diane Savino catches some flack over her Facebook comments

I’ve enjoyed some of the funny remarks coming out of State Senator Diane Savino’s Facebook page (which pour out in a giant stream once per day usually), but some have taken to criticizing the snark:
In a posting on Monday, Ms. Savino (D-North Shore/Brooklyn) invited her personal Facebook followers to “Meet the New Mafia,” and linked to a New York Times editorial critical of the role that Tea Party lawmakers played in the debt-ceiling negotiations.When Tea Partiers and others objected, Ms. Savino said she was free to share her opinions on her private Facebook, and that those who didn’t like it should un-friend her or go to her official Senate site.

He said that Ms. Savino “regularly uses ugly remarks against those she disagrees with,” and pointed to a comment in which she said Rep. Michael Grimm (R-Staten Island/Brooklyn) didn’t know where the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge was.
Savino seems to be taking the criticism in stride, however:
