Queens College First Hand Freeper Report (Alan Hevesi Shooting Remark)
June 1, 2006 | TFine80

Posted on 06/01/2006 12:46:39 PM PDT by TFine80

I was at the Queens College Commencement this morning, and I saw the whole thing occur. I also called up the Post and spoke to a reporter immediately afterwards -- so it's possible that I helped trigger this.

The context was this. There were lots of Democrat politicians there: Schumer, Hevesi, Jay Hershenson (CUNY Vice Chancellor), and Helen Marshall (Queens Borough President). Schumer spoke first, and they were all patting each other on the back, saying how great they all were and how important it was that graduates vote in the future. A few other not-so-subtle digs on Bush and Pataki, but nothing major. Hevesi gets up and gives a normal speech, and towards the end begins talking about how great Schumer is. Then he said -- and I quote because I immediately wrote it down -- Schumer would "put a bullet between the President's eyes if he could get away with it." There were a fair number of gasps, but then of course some people are pretty oblivious at these types of events. It slightly seemed that he caught himself and then said, "Well, he's a really tough guy" or something along those lines -- trying to put the remark in context.

I immediately called the Post and spoke to a reporter, and when I got back from the ceremony today saw that the AP was covering it.

Will he apologize for having someone "speak for him", will he publicly castigate this idiot or will he just smile his little snarky little smile and keep quiet?

As oily and slimy as Schumer is, I choose the latter..

Hey, its not like he shot the president. Now where have I heard that before?

Oh yeah, Peter Warrick of Florida State University said that when he got caught up in the Footlocker caper at ol' Free Shoes U.

I had to double check my url...

I get mine checked every year during my annual physical. I have a lady doctor that makes me turn my head and cough. She seems to enjoy checking it as much as I do.

The only acceptable apology would be his resignation.

And if anyone believes this will happen or that he will be arrested for threatening the president, freepmail me because I have some great beach front lots for sale in Montana that I know you'll be interested in.

Does your husband know whether Hevesi plans to resign?

Just wait 'till you hit the big 40. A word to the wise, just because they call it a "digital exam" does not mean it has a numerical readout!

Yes I saw where the "speaker" was absolutely and profusely apologizing. Probably trying to head the secret service off. :)

I was just wondering how Schumer will handle the idiot speaking for him. The speaker said something to the effect of "Chuckie would put a bullet between the eyes of the President if he thought he could get away with it".

Your serve Chuckie Schumer.

I hope the Secret Service interviews Hevesi for the threat. He is a pig. He should never have been allowed to get as far as he is in NY politics - he was very close to Donald Manes, who was very corrupt. The GOP in NY State had better run with this remark and talk radio should get on it.
