PUBLIC RELATIONS DEBACLE AFTER SEN. HILLARY JEERED AND BOOED BY HEROES
Senator Hillary Clinton's inner circle is furious at MIRAMAX king Harvey Weinstein after the former first lady suffered through a public relations nightmare during Saturday's AMERICA: A TRIBUTE TO HEROES concert in New York City.
Hillary Clinton was jeered and booed by thousands gathered at Madison Square Garden as she took to the stage -- unannounced -- to introduce a movie clip.
VH1 cameras captured firemen and police heroes wildly booing Clinton, who attempted to raise her voice above the shouting crowd.
"Get off the stage! We don't want you here!" yelled one New York City police officer just feet from the senator.
Anti-Clinton slurs spread and intensified throughout the Garden, with many standing near the stage lobbing profanities.
Event-planner and close Clinton friend Harvey Weinstein was visibly shaken as he heard the crowd erupt with boos and jeers, according to an eyewitness.
The junior senator from New York ending up giving the shortest presentation of the evening, clocking in at under 20 seconds.
"How could we not know this would be the wrong forum for Hillary?!" shouted one confidante. "These are cops and firemen who listen to right-wing talkradio. They still think she killed Vince Foster, for Christ sake!"
Other New York politicians received warmer welcomes during the 5-hour concert which featured Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, Elton John and others.
Former President Bill Clinton, who took the stage minutes after his wife, worked over scattered boos with talk of the rescuers' heroism.
Following the Clintons, James Taylor soothed the heroes with an acoustic FIRE AND RAIN.
The concert raised millions of dollars for September 11 relief efforts.

Goes to show you that her presence there was a total PR set up FOR HER, and had nothing to do with her support of the police and firemen.
Just because a guy works in a profession that requires him to be in a union, in order to have a job to support his family, doesn't mean that he is a flaming liberal.
On the other hand, he may have been sitting on it so he could use it for his radio show teaser. He always posts an interesting story about 2 hours before his show starts.
I think we can be confident he will have the audio to play on his show, along with the requisite "Evita."
Can't wait.
Actually I think beel gave the order but I think she okayed it.
Am thrilled the right wing extremists booed the btch, and hope that she and Jerry Nadler and Johnette Reno later celebrated the occasion with a menage de trois.
This is the most beautiful post on here I have ever seen. Can I believe in Justice again?
Next time it appears in public, may there be a glass of hemlock on the podium.
Burn in Hell, Sow.
And I suppose, by the inference that this is a bad thing, they hope to get the support back? HA HA HA HA HA HA! What idiots.
Them and about 2/3 of the country, that's all.
She DID kill Vince (& dozens of others ...).
Your husband is a brave man. He must be a principled man too. My father and mother were union people (machinist and typographer) and were constantly being supplied with leftist propoganda (union newspapers, leaflets, union meetings, etc). It really was brainwashing.
She probably thought that she had nothing to lose. I mean, after all, these people are generally inclined to vote only once in an election, unlike her favored constituents. If they boo her, she still has Jesse's race baiters. IMHO, of course.
