Appalling response to terror making it in Massachusetts (Meehan, et. al.)

Boston Herald ^ | 8-16-01 | Howie Carr

[FairWitness]

With apologies to all the patriots and Conservatives that I know must live in Massachusetts.

[goldstategop]

I'm sorry you live in a state in which the Amherst Campus Left under other circumstances would be cheering on the Islamist Nazis destruction of the World Trade Center Towers, that hated symbol of American capitalism...

[ResistorSister]

In Ohio, we considered our state to be the "heart" of our country; so, I guess that makes Massachusetts the "armpit."

[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

As appalling as Martin T. (for Taliban) Meehan's slur of the commander-in-chief was, what's even sicker is the nostalgia both he and the Sheik seem to feel for Bill Clinton, the war hero.

You da man, Howie! ROFL!

[Valin]

I do wonder if Maaaaahty is brushing up his resume? something he should think about?

[ninonitti]

he gave Bill Cohen's wife, Janet Langhart, a hug, in a Kathleen Willey-like fashion, feeling her pain and perhaps other parts of her anatomy as well.

Janet, a onetime Boston TeeVee babe and certified bubblehead didn't exactly have a look of pleasure on her face after his "hug".

[Scutter]

Man, what a great post! Thanks.

[The_Media_never_lie]

Howie needs to express himself, come out of his shell and tell us how he feels ....not. He's red hot and right on target!

[csvset]

I've never paid much attention to Howie* (*I've seen him on PMSBC), however, asking Meathead if he evacuated when the bomb threat was called is priceless.

[prognostigaator]

"Did you evacuate the capitol when told there was a bomb threat?"

"Yes."

[Terry Mross]

When Clinton comes on TV, I change the channel. I don't see any of the other former presidents on TV. Nor do I see any of the former Vice Presidents. So, why do I see him? It's time we all changed the channel when he is on.

Guiness should consider a new record: "fastest political suicide". Because Marty Meehan just broke Gary Condit's old record.

[FairWitness]

Actually, I live in Missouri (the state that elects dead men to the Senate, so we have our own problems). That's why I included an apology, since I wouldn't want to implicate all of Massachusett's residents (Massachusettsians?) for the acts and failures of their politicians. However, I do fervently hope that Marty Meehan is clearly led to see the error(s) of his ways.

I hope you are correct about my congressperson. Howie left out two important details.

1. Dozens of Osama Bin Meehan's constituents were on the two planes.
2. The Great and General Court (the Mass legislature) was going to gerrymander Osama Bin Meehan out of his district beause of his support for the Massachusetts Clean Election Law (Local Shays-Meehan law.)

The gerrymander would have created a "minority" district. Meehan's lowered popularity and stature may bring it back into play.

Assachusetts.

You can add Jane Garvey to your list of Massachusett's losers. She is one of the few Clinton holdovers - administrator of the FAA. She spent all the money on pacifying the controllers union and worrying about delays, and forgot all about security. I hope Bush fires her on Monday.

[James Otis]

The cure for foot-in-mouth disease is foot-in-ass procedure.

The state legislature needs to go forward with its redistricting plan which essentially carves up Meehan's district. Let the Democrats finish him off in a primary.

Both Meehan and Neal were among the first to flee the U.S. Capitol when it was evacuated. They left with other greats from the northeast noted for their bravery: Hillary Clinton and Chuck Schumer (both of whom were missing in action for three full days.) They then have the audacity to claim that President Bush should have returned from Florida to Washington immediately without allowing law enforcement authorities to assess the danger. Neither of these two morons are bright enough to work in McDonalds! It's time for them both to RESIGN.

[a_federalist]

What bothers me too is the ban on the American flag.
BTW I saw on my local news last night the anchors wearing identical RIBBONS!!!! I called in immediately and left voice mail (no one answered) saying if you are going to honor our war dead then WEAR OUR FLAG not those stupid asinine ribbons.

What really angers me about this "Hempfest" in Boston yesterday is that the major cash crop in Afghanistan is marijuana. Over $150 billion flows into Afghanistan each year from the pot trade so it is quite possible that these pot smokers on Boston Common provided Bin Laden with the funds to launch Tuesday's attacks. What a bunch of stupid people. If we need any more evidence that regular marijuana smoking causes brain damage, this is it.
