Official Apologizes For Saying Bush Should Be Shot Between Eyes
POSTED: 2:27 pm EDT June 1, 2006 UPDATED: 2:35 pm EDT June 1, 2006
NEW YORK -- New York State Comptroller Alan Hevesi publicly apologized Thursday for a "beyond dumb" remark about "putting a bullet between the president's eyes."
Hevesi hastily called a press conference hours after putting his foot in his mouth during a speech at the Queens College commencement.
The comptroller said he was trying to convey the strength and courage of U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer, D-New York,

Uhhhh...America is not going to let this weasel get away with this...
Apology not accepted. Resign and fall on your sword.
I'm one NY voter who will remember this.
"Hevesi said he hadn't been in touch with the White House but he hoped his apology reached President Bush."
Tell it to the Secret Service, who'll be around shortly...
Uhhh, he's a Democrat and there isn't a Republican alive in the Northeast with the stones to do anything about it. It will just be more "Move along nothing to see here" from the drive-by media.
truly deranged.
Unfortunately, nothing will become of this. Celebrities and others have made similiar remarks and nothing happened. Remember Kilborn's "Snipers Wanted" photo back in 2000? Well, he's still on the air.
What does it say about Democratic elected officials that they say things like this when speaking extemporaneously?
Uhhhh....you wanna bet?
There was a CSPAN Book TV piece this past weekend, cant't recall the book (a "history") or the author (an "historian"), but he suffered from BDS, as did the audience. He got his digs in from the very start, even though his talk really had nothing to do with GWB.
It was actually a bit amusing to listen to the smouldering anger and outright invective for a few minutes. These people were really off their rockers. IIRC, one guy sais "Give me Reagan or Bush 1 or even Nixon," something like that.
...in the typical liberal way
...how badly they need to say
...why the must be kept at bay
..taking my bow
Doogle
All those national front page stories and television coverage will... oh wait, he's a dhimmi
What's his DU screen name? Heck, given some of the crap we see posted on the illegal immigration threads, what's his Free Republic screen name?
Incredibly stupid remark for anyone to say about POTUS, but especially a man in his position. If he had any honor at all he would resign his position.
I thought the Secret Service don't take kindly to these sort of threats ... didn't they recently haul some kid to court over something he wrote on a web site about doing harm to the POUS????
And this too?

"appalled by what was reported" , eh? I bet what she meant was that she was appalled that the incident was reported.
i thought saying that was considered making a threat on the president's life and a crime?
