MATTHEWS: What role are you going to take? I mean, you're not a sidewalk superintendent. You're Donald Trump. I mean, what role—will you lead a coalition to stop Governor Pataki from his strong support for the Freedom Tower? TRUMP: Well, there's not much of a role I can take. It all started when the “New York Post” called me and asked my opinion. It's really a shame. We have a great opportunity. And, you know the terrorists win. If we build this job the way it is, the terrorists win. If we rebuild the World Trade Center, but a story taller and stronger, then we win. I mean, I don't want to have the terrorists win, Chris. And that's what's going to happen if we build this pile of junk.

As far as I'm concerned, Chris Matthews is a disgusting pile of junk.
That's exactly what we should do. If it was in a red state, that is what we woulddo. But, in artsy-fartsy NYC... we get this abstract sculpture thingy.
Nah, The T is being honest. And who doesn't agree with him? Pataki is a tool.
I think he's looking in the mirror. What a maroon.
I thought it was announce the freedom tower is off the table due to "security issues" (I think they were just embarrassed and needed an excuse)
The towers have meaning beyond architecture.
"...disgusting pile of junk." ???
Was he talking about the proposed building, or his hairdo?
Trumps knows about building a bunch of squares. He's not an architect. The minute you make this thing political (and it was political before the old ones even fell), you open it up to all these "commissions" who would be aghast to have two long straight boxes pointing up to the sky. Sorry, Trump. You know it's true.
as long as it is facing east... but i can't decide if it should be a bit to the north towards france or a bit to the south towards saudi arabia, et al... so maybe just due east to cover them all
REBUILD THE TOWERS! We don't need that Garman homo's silly design. Build the Twin Towers according to the new (stronger) proposal, and put the Department of Homeland Security and Hillary's office on the very top, to insure tenants' potential ease of mind.

Well said!!! I hope The Donald's blunt comments raise some eyebrows and call attention to the sheer crappiness of the present project before it is really begun. Build the Towers as they were -- only better. The Towers were tested to destruction. We ought to know now how to make them stronger and more fireproof. Nothing would stick in the craw of those who hate America more than seeing the Towers rise again.
It's part of that weepy grieving and healing BS that's infected us, along with all of the "candle light vigils" (Gag me now...)
Egg-zackally. A monument to pusillanimity is what I
would call it ( if I could spell it. )
