In his 9/11 commemoration speech, Patrick observed that while the attack on the World Trade Center was “mean and nasty,” (that’s telling ’em, Deval!) the real tragedy of six years ago was the “failure of human understanding.”
Yes, 9/11 was, Patrick said “a failure of human beings to understand each other, to learn to love each other.” [Emphasis added.]
To find out what the victims of 9/11 didn’t understand about the terrorists that might have prevented the attack, I turned to Debra Burlingame. Her brother, Chic, was the pilot of American Airlines [AMR] Flight 77 - the plane that hit the Pentagon.
When I first read Debra the governor’s remarks over the phone, her reaction was astonished silence. “Can you read that again please?”
I did. More silence.
“Did he have the audacity to say that in front of grieving 9/11 family members?” she asked, somewhat astonished...

This is more than just a "moment" for this clown -- he really believes this stuff.
Examples:
He previously ordered state police not to arrest illegal aliens, claiming that would distract them from law enforcement (I'm not kidding, or exaggerating....)
He wants the State college system to provide in-state discounts to illegals.
No argument here.
That would be nice. The state really, really needs to change the motto on motor vehicle license plates, which reads, "The spririt of America."
Yeah. He is definitely “metro.”
I feel like I should end every post with ‘reporting from behind enemy lines.’
Dear Boston:
Thanks for American Airlines Flight 11. Thanks for United Airlines Flight 175. Thanks for your Red Sox being the only team in the Major Leagues that declined to offer 1 paycheck to 9/11 charities.
I’m not saying that Boston doesn’t care about, or is even the slightest bit responsible for the attack. I am, however, saying that nobody in NY could give a f-ck about opinions on the attacks from Boston or its politicians.
Sincerely, a guy sitting across the street from a giant hole in the ground right now.
I know the feeling. I lived in the People’s Republik of NY for a long time.
Why don’t you complain to Chucky or Hillary. They are more to blame for 9/11, along with the likes of Kerry and Kennedy, than the City of Boston.
Either he believes what he had to say to get elected in MA, or he doesn't and believes in what he's saying now.
But which?
Schumer, Clinton, Kennedy, and Kerry are US Senators. The article was about the mayor of Boston blaming the victims of NY. As I said, I’m not blaming the citizens of Boston directly. I’m saying that the Mayor those citizens elected is particularly poorly qualified to be pointing fingers. And I am correct. When it comes to 9/11, Boston mayors would probably do well to keep thier mouths shut. The know they are playing to a very liberal audience, but they know they can’t “feel your pain.” Therefore, anything they say is going to end up pissing most people off.
In either case, the MA link will sink him which is too bad because he is the only candidate on either side that has run successful businesses, had employees, has been a CEO, has a very stable family life and is probably the best communicator.
Add Michigan, too.
Still sounds like a good idea to me.
Or at least let the South secede peacefully...
So he flop-flipped liberal to be governor of the DPRM?
I’m sorta willing to vote for Romney if he gets past the Primaries. But that is as far as it goes.
Except that Bloomie has the most annoying, nasal Boston accent — more of an accent than Mumbles Menino, from what I can make out from his ramblings... ;-)
You know, I know people in the state Democratic Committee who said there’s a reason why is wife is depressed. tap tap tap
Hussein al-Husseini, the man believed to be John Doe #2 in the OK City bombings and a member of Unit 999 of the Iraqi military got a job at MASSPORT working at Logan Airport. Isn’t that interesting?
...Among other things.
(SHUDDER) What a TWISTED individual.
Nobody wants to call him of the culpability of the Democratic nepotism that had political cronies in charge of Logan airport at the time. This pap is just a dodge.
