I've read quite a few different articles about Times Square now. Which Congressman said this?

Here's the link to the article.

It was Chris Shays.

Republican Rep. Christopher Shays, however, said people ought to avoid places like Times Square, calling it irresponsible for officials to make people think they don't need to take precautions.

"Secretary Ridge says just do what you normally do," Shays said. "If normally you go to Times Square, I wouldn't do what you normally do. I wouldn't go into places when you're packed and where if there was panic, a lot of injuries would take place."

Shays would want to make Bush look bad, he masquerades as a Republican

Txbluebell, thanks for posting the answer to Cal's question about Rep. Shays in Times Square. Didn't mean to post and run. Sorry.

Catching up on the thread now. Happy New Year to all of you.
