Richard Blumenthal and Susan Bysiewicz marched to the VA, ready to break the door down to rescue veterans like Mike Onieal — but found out they may not have needed such a dramatic rescue.
The event had all the makings of a perfect photo op: Two of Connecticut’s top Democrats defy President Bush, slam an unconstitutional policy statement and come to the aid of deprived veterans who sacrificed their limbs in the war only to be stripped of their basic rights.
The VA, it turns out, does have a voting access problem, but not the one that the top Dems stormed into town to hang on the president.

What about the staffer who had told Bysiewicz’s office in advance that she would not be permitted onto campus?
Bysiewicz’s office had contacted the wrong West Haven veterans center, Johnson said. The West Haven Medical Center, where Monday’s press show took place, handles 1,500 outpatients per day. Its high-rise buildings can be seen piercing the horizon from many miles away. Instead of contacting Johnson, who directs the major medical campus, Bysiewicz’s office whipped off a June 19 missive to The West Haven Vet Center — a small office that sees 20 to 40 outpatients a day."
LOL!
Even worse - Bysiewicz is not a Representative, she is the Secretary of State - and she can’t distinguish between hospitals in her state.
Moron.
Close enuff for Gubbmint work.
i frequently see these two camera-hounds together - are they an item or something?
Blumenthal is the Attorney General of Connecticut and a socialist. He once rivaled Eliot Spitzer as the biggest grandstanding state AG.
Blumenthal is Ct’s Spitzer clone.
“That’s good,” said Francoeur. “We need to vote. We need to get rid of that guy that’s in there.”
This guy’s so feeble-minded, he thinks Bush is running for a third term!
What’s disgusting is that other media reports are lapping these jerk’s actions up:
Thanks. I haven’t been to the circus since I was a kid but it was fun to read about this one.
Disgusting, but the fact that they are democrats explains it all.
Demwit alert.
did they ever consider that these are MEDICAL facilities???
Not much concern for the safety and caution for the patients.
“who do they thibnk they are???!! Hertz???”
