In paid speeches and high-profile public appearances, Newark mayor and New Jersey senatorial candidate Cory Booker has often invoked the name of Wazn Miller, the 19-year- old gunned down between a set of housing projects in Newark nine years ago. I got interested in the 2004 case after reporting on “T-Bone,” the Newark drug pusher and alleged Booker friend whom the mayor often mentioned on the stump; but Booker had told Rutgers University professor Clement Price that T-Bone was, in reality, a composite character. It wasn’t the bare outlines of Booker’s account of the shooting’s aftermath that piqued my curiosity — that Booker was nearby when it happened and helped on the scene — but the cinematic details. Booker has told several audiences that Miller fell into his arms after being shot and bled to death as they waited for an ambulance to arrive on the scene. It is worth quoting Booker at length. Here he is speaking at Yale in 2007: It was during this time that I felt I probably reached one of the lowest points of my life, the nadir, when I was growing frustrated, when I was having a tough time holding on to that which has sustained our nation, our ideal for ourselves and the love which I’ve talked about. I was walking around, it was actually the week of my birthday, and I was walking around my neighborhood and gunshots rang out and I turned around towards the gunfire. It was echoing like cannon fire between a set of projects, and a whole bunch of children were running down a hill, and I sprinted through the kids towards the gunfire that seemed to be still ringing in my ears, and I got there. There was another young man who was stumbling backwards...

The New York Post had an article today on Booker. I wonder if the Clinton/Booker ‘16 or Booker/Clinton ‘16 voters care. After all, history will be made and “we will show the world.”
The citizen voters in New Jersey must be high on reefer or Obamabot Kool-Aid to even think about casting their votes for Obamabot, lies, lies, lies, Cory Booker!!! The dude is a naught but a flim/flam, scam shyster thug & clone of failed POTUS, Barack Hussein Obama, lover of the esteemed Muslim Brotherhood and their blood brothers Al Qaeda!!!
Go for the real man to represent NJ, Steve Lonegan in the US Senate!!!
Yes, he lies, but so what?
NJ is a lost cause, they’ll vote for the liar anyway, just as they voted for the bribe taker Torricelli, the swindler, Jon Corzine and the gay governor, Jim McGreevey.
Since they both appear to be habitual liars (which is a resume enhancer as far as the average Democrat voter is concerned), the order on the ticket won’t matter much, I suspect.
I’m sorry to say this, but here I am saying it. Do you know of ANY black Democrat that isn’t a lying thief?????? It’s just disgusting to see it so often. Yes most politicians are this way, black, white or in between. But if you see a black Dem, you can bet they are corrupt. All the way down to dog catcher.
I posted just to provide a bit of grim entertainment on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
You don’t need the word ‘black’ as a modifier.
Didn't Obama have a girlfriend that was a composite character?

Wasn’t Jim McGreevey the guy who got away with resigning “immediately” — at the end of his term?
I heard the author interviewed on the John Batchelor show and he alluded to the same fact. Dems seem to love glib liars.
They love lies they can believe in.
Ah...
Are there any lies they can't believe in?
“Didn’t Obama have a girlfriend that was a composite character?”
She was based on some of President Down-low’s boyfriends, of that we can be sure.
Anything spoken by a Republican is deemed a lie and must be investigated by the media.
I don’t see how a state that elects (and will probably re-elect) Chris Christie for governor at the same time could have Bob Menendez and Cory Booker as their senators. They are polar opposites (regardless of what people in other states think of Christie).
“Wasn’t Jim McGreevey the guy who got away with resigning “immediately” — at the end of his term?”
It wasn’t at the end of his term, but far enough into it where Repubs wouldn’t pick his replacement.
I agree!!! I do not agree with everything that Chris Christie does.....but...I would certainly vote for him over any low life Democrat, any day!!! Why? Because there has not been an honest Democrat in New Jersey for many years!!! NJ is a terrific state, but has chosen loser Democrats, only God knows why!!! I kinda guess it’s the “Obama Stash” free handouts that get the low information deadbeats to the pools!!! Vote for Steve Lonegan on October 12th for US Senate. Defeat Cory “Flim/Flam, Scam Shyster” Obamabot, Booker”
