CBS) While promoting his new album of duets, "Duets II," on Howard Stern's radio show, Tony Bennett made the assertion that the United States was responsible for the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, D.C.

"They flew the plane in, but we caused it," Bennett told Stern, according to the New York Daily News. The "they" in his statement is presumably terrorists.

Tony is either an out of his mind liberal or he’s getting senile.
You’ve just been removed from the now Sinatra, Martin playlist, jackass.
How can you tell there’s a difference?
Only children use the excuse “she made me do it.” Grownups realize that they have choices as to how they act on their feelings and beliefs. They are responsible for those choices and actions.
Sad to see anyone slip away due to Alzheimers.
Wow...I’m really disappointed in him for those comments. Shame on him.
I doubt very much this happened.
He’s off my Pandora playlist. With comments like that, good riddance.
Bennett has been a leftist for years. I just think he just decided to run his mouth about it because he doesn’t care about people buying his stuff anymore.
Not only did he leave his heart in San Fran, he also picked up their radical politics.
He’s an idiot.
If he wants to see how chaotic the world can be, just let America withdraw from the world and turn inward.
Then we’ll see how peaceful the world really is.
LOL - nice one!
..we’re prolly gonna have to anyway, so time will tell.
“Bennett says also that former president George W. Bush told him that Bush admitted the war in Iraq was a mistake. At an event at the Kennedy Center to honor Bennett, the singer says Bush told him, “I think I made a mistake,” according to the Daily News.
I doubt very much this happened. “
It’s completely unbelievable that he would say that to an entertainer. Who knows what is in GW’s mind - maybe he thinks that way, maybe not, but to say it publicly to Bennett and not a soul else? C’mon. Bennett might well be suffering from dementia - he might really believe it.
I used to enjoy Bennett’s singing, but now he is very old (85), and confines himself to duets because his sound and wind cannot support a performance on their own. He should give up performing but perhaps he needs the dough.
Did he change his name to Adam Clymer???
He was never anywhere even near to be removed from Frankie and Dean in the first place. Frank...the greatest male vocalist ever by far,(and a far underrated TV and Movie Star also), and Dean...the ‘coolest’, (is that still used?), man ever to set foot on this planet. Loved by men who wanted to be Dean,(myself for one!), and loved by all the gals! Dean Martin’s show from ‘65-’74, (I think), was the greatest TV show ever!!
Bennett also left what passed for his brain in Obozo’s trash can.
I don’t doubt that Bush might have admitted he made a mistake somewhere or other, maybe even within hearing of Tony Bennett. That he interpreted that to mean the entire Iraq war was a mistake is the product of his own deranged fantasy.
It’s common for democrats to blame the victim while excusing the actions of the perpetrator as being a victim of policies.
Parole boards are filled with Tony Bennett types.
bopbababopbabop, ramadamadingdong
He made a career from being crazy.
