NEWS: Last week, Brooklyn Democratic Party executives held a secret meeting to hash out their judicial nominees for NY Supreme Court—ahead of the party's official judicial convention.

What is it they say about seeing how the sausage is made?
Brooklyn Democratic Party powerhouse Frank Seddio is captured on video threatening to rip the “f—ing heart out” of a party activist and wishing him a “terrible death” following a dispute over the selection of state judges.
“What I am is a fu–ing Sicilian who will take your f—ing heart out. You are absolutely done. Never f—ing call me again. Don’t go call me for anything. Drop dead,” the septuagenarian former Brooklyn Democratic Party chairman raged as he was restrained by colleagues from charging at district leader David Schwartz.
An alarmed Schwartz is then seen videotaping Seddio, who still holds clout in the party as “chairman emeritus” and a district leader.
But the videotaping of his tirade — first reported by The City — did not faze the enraged Seddio.
“Here I am, David, you should only suffer a terrible death,” he tells Schwartz.
Another executive committee, Doug Schneider, attempts to calm Seddio down.
“Frank, let’s go outside,” he tells Seddio.
The confrontation occurred at the end of a meeting of the Brooklyn Democratic Party’s executive committee last week at Nick’s Lobster House in Marine Park.
