Hey, I wonder how soon this will be the fault of the BUshes. Surely there will be a way to blame Pres Bush or at least Cheney or Rice.

Did you see her instruct the police officers on camera? “YOU stand THERE”.

And how about her statement, “This has been a difficult day for everyone in our campaign.”??

What would she do as president when a REAL difficulty arises?

I dread the thought.

the real leadership of Giuliani

"Oh, Rudy, it turns me on when you talk tough like that. Do it again, Rudy. You make me feel sooooooo safe. Oh, Ruuuuuuuuudy."

ROFL!

Baloney! Nobody remembers Rudy doing anything beyond what we'd expect a mayor to do - he ran around in a panic with a hanky on his nose. He gained nothing but the contempt of NYC's first responders.

Now, Hillary's PR machine will try to pull the same thing that Rudy tried to pull. "Oh, Hillary. You were so strong and calm under fire." ROFL

In full Carter mode, go into hiding until crisis is over.

“Hey, I wonder how soon this will be the fault of the BUshes”

Already happened...

A Thread on KOS last night blamed REAGAN for cutting mental health care, and blamed Bush for perpetuating it.

(Conveniently FORGETTING about Clinton’s part was excluded form the over 100 reply’s, of course)

Yup, a perfect picture of Hillary “large and in charge”.

"Sabato, who usually gives intelligent political analysis, must have inhaled a little deeply."

Uh...if you're looking for left-leaning spin with some academic presence, Sabato is your guy.

This is truly hilarious - presidential, woman in charge, etc. Nobody should be surprised if you remember the Clinton years. The grovelers in the press have polished their a--kissing to a level not previously seen and are just picking up where they left off, but it's still funny to watch.

The bottom line is Hillary got out of another media event "with the Boys". Is the the third one now?

Love these incidents. Why didn't she go and and then leave. She wasn't useful in any way to the incident.

Oh, yeh...she had to go put tape on the hostages mouth. Now, they're really hostages.

Then, later in the night ... the whole thing came to an end and I saw .. a guy in a white shirt and tie (and it looked like it was still slid up to the buttoned collar ... ) hmmmm

Saw that too... they probably promised the perp free prescriptions for a year, no Graybar Hotel time, and a generous gratuity for giving her the photo-op,

I spent time in NYC before Rudi when walking three blocks from the theater district to my hotel was courageous given the crime situation and after Rudi.

He cleaned up NYC.

Besides, you are rude to interject that political jib in the middle of another discussion. And your last post to me was at about the 15 year old level with its insinuations.

This simply demonstrates that Sabato is in the tank for Hillary. Everything he says, certainly any poll he’s involved with from here on, needs to be taken with many grains of salt.

Would love to find out that he called the new headquarters several times and told...”get lost”. But that would never come to light. Everything has been erased and put through the blender by now.

My first thought is that maybe he should change his name to Larry Fellatio but that would be the wrong gender.

On second thought maybe it is appropriate?

The scene was one of a woman in charge.

I await her being deemed the “Mother of America” and wondering if I will survive it.

Well, she is the "Mother" of all B!tches.

Yep. I hate to think of what other tricks these people have up their sleeves.

"Oh, Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuudy!" LOL

It's one thing to have a little crush on Rudy, but you wouldn't want to force our troops to salute a man like that, would you?

Now, we need to know who the man is. The first reports were that he is known in that area. Did anyone catch a name?
