You can bet the word "coward" will come up in Shays reelection campaign.

Congressman Shays is the chair of the Subcommittee on National Security.

Would sumbuddy in NY PLEASE go tape Shay's mouth?

Use the GOOD tape this time!

[smiley]

Shays said a very, very stupid thing....he should have just kept his mouth zipped.

[Alberta's Child]

I'll be taking Shays' advice. But not because of anything related to "security concerns" -- I won't spend a minute or a dollar more than necessary in this city until the tax burden is reduced and that idiotic smoking ban is lifted.

Here's the lowdown on Shays from his own site:

***Christopher is a nationally recognized environmentalist and has been endorsed by the League of Conservation Voters and the Sierra Club for his strong support of Clean Water and Endangered Species legislation, as well as his aggressive stand in favor of strict new Clean Air regulations. As co-chairman of the Animal Rights Caucus, he continues to be an outspoken advocate for the humane treatment of animals around the world.***


***Washington, D.C. -- Today, Congressman Christopher Shays (R-CT) and Congressman Frank Wolf (R-VA) detailed their recent three-day, two-night trip to Iraq December 4-6, as well as recommendations they have for the reconstruction efforts.

"The purpose of our December trip to Iraq was to observe how the reconstruction is proceeding," said Shays. "During this trip, Congressman Wolf and I traveled outside the umbrella of military protection to Kut, a town of about 300,000, southeast of Baghdad," Shays explained.

"This was Congressman Wolf's second and my third trip to Iraq," Shays continued. ***

Aside from spending taxpayers' money, Shays describes himself as a "moderate."

We'll find out by tomorrow which one needs the duct tape.

Wait, wait, let me see if I understand this. A guy from Connecticut says he wouldn't go to Times Square for anything on New Years' Eve and this is news?

[NittanyLion]

Shays is a coward. He should've said he'd be avoiding Times Square because there would be too much cigarette smoking going on.

[VRWC_minion]

Safe ? Safe ? How can Bloomberg think its safe when there is going to be second hand smoke on virtually every street corner ? What ? Is he crazy ?

[jagrmeister]

Bloomberg is an embarassment to the party. I like to pretend he doesn't exist and remember when Guilani had the city under control.

[solitas]

According to ...Bloomberg, Rep. Christopher Shays of Connecticut is as yellow as a Frenchman for being too scared to show up at America's most famous New Year's Eve celebration.
IMO: Bloomblatt/feld/berg/whatever... is a fool and his words always prove him so. Alright, granted, his job IS to hump-up the city's reputation and tourism but still...

Shays said Tuesday that he wouldn't go to Times Square "for anything."
Lessee: pickpockets, thugs, INFLUENZA, gettinghtehellouttathere, pocketbombers, snipers a looong way away... Uh huh.

Bloomie retorted today said that former Iraq POW Shoshana Johnson would be taking part in the festivities at Times Square. "She was a woman fighting to protect the congressman's freedoms," hizzoner said on NBC's "Today" show. "She was captured and wounded in Iraq. Maybe he should call her and learn a little bit about courage."
An invited guest, prepaid, a celebrity, sure - if I didn't have to worry about the details... How many other of the Military did bloom[something] invite? Or - how many wouldn't accept an invitation from him?

Hey bloom[whatever] - read between the lines:

I imagine Christopher Shays may be able to sleep ok just after gobbling up his cookies and milk in a 1960s-built bomb shelter at his lavish Connecticut estate.
