Excerpt from Drudge Report:
U.S. Rep. Martin T. Meehan (D-MA) scoffed at reports Air Force One was targeted by terrorists - the reason Bush aides have put forth to explain why the president delayed his return to Washington after Tuesday's attack on the Pentagon. 'I don't buy the notion Air Force One was a target,' said Meehan. 'That's just PR. That's just spin'...
(202) 225-3411 Meehan office number...
Thanks for the advice, Capitolist. I was already planning on spending my tax refund check on a few good candidates of my choice.
Don't be so skeptical. I'm sure someone called his office and said, "Tell Meehan we think he's a boob." The staffer though the caller said, "Tell Meehan we have a bomb." Meehan, being the couragous guy that he is, is now safely tucked away with his staff in the Congressional bomb shelter where they are drinking warm milk and playing Candyland.
God Bless AMERICA
PS: Capitalist Pig - Very, very good. I love it! Hit 'em where it REALLY hurts - their pocketbook!
I swear it's hard to be a lady at times...
Dear Rep. Meehan,
I was appalled to read a quote from you in the Boston Herald.
Is it true that you believe threat the President of the United States lied with regard to terrorist threats toward Air Force One?
Did you believe that President Clinton lied when he denied having sexual relations with "that woman"?
If the Secret Service felt the President was in danger, that should be enough for the President to follow their advice.
Did you evacuate the Capital when the Capital Police said that there might be a bomb in the building?
I believe that you own the nation, the President and your constituents an apology.
Of course I am not sure how much of that I would believe since you ran on a platform of term limits and then reneged on that commitment.
It is things like this that cause people to lose faith in their elected officials.
Please support our President in this time of national tragedy.
This was my message:
Representative Meehan, your despicable commentaries about President Bush at this moment in which our Nation has been brutally attacked, borders in high treason. You have dishonored the Democratic Party and the Congress. May the wrath of the decent American patriots fall upon you.
God Bless President Bush and our great country of ours.
The office staff worker who answers phones also has to make notes on EVERY single phone call received, and they're usually tallying ayes and nays (that sort of thing) for the topic discussed as well. Likewise, same goes for hard copy, especially HANDWRITTEN letters that don't look like form letters or mass-printed petitions, etc.
As a Jew, I agree with your sentiments. However, Meehan strikes me as an Irish, not Jewish, name. Are you sure he's Jewish? (I sure hope that such a loathsome individual is not a coreligionist of mine ... believe me, Dershowitz, Wexler, Deutsch, Frank, Feinstein, Boxer, etc. are bad enough.)
Of course, the poster yesterday was on us because the hijackers went to flight school near Palm Beach, and it seems, some of them were living here. Not much any of us could do about either thing.
I know how you feel, insulted, vicariously.
Shame on you!
As as a native, transferred Massachusetts resident and thankfully a past member of the Democratic Party but unfortunately currently represented by Chuck Schumer and Ms. Hillary, I want to ask you, Sir:
What was the correct context of the statement 'I don't buy the notion Air Force One was a target, That's just PR. That's just spin'"
Shame on you, Sir, for your callous and unAmerican remarks regarding the safety of our President and Commander in Chief.
May I ask, Sir, would you have made these remarks if Al Gore had been elected?
Disgustedly,
P.S. Would you Democrats please stop stonewalling the new Administration's appointments and fund our military? Your pleas of calling for "bipartisanship" and your actions speak volumes!!!
Good point. These clymers who are complaining about President Bush's delayed return to the WH would be saying he was grandstanding for a photo op if he HAD immediately reuturned. There's no pleasing these socialist $#$@#$@#$.
