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.

I sure hope FOXNEWS gets it air tomorrow on FOX and Friends or maybe on Brit Hume's show or on the FOXREPORT with Shep! But at least SOMETIME tomorrow!
Thanks
Her and her "COWARD" husband are responsible for this tragedy, because they did nothing when we were attacked 6 times since 1993 under their watch. These 2 low life criminals did more harm to this country than any terrorist could ever do, and they have the nerve to put themselves out in the spotlight after they reduced our military by 40% and ignored our National Secyrity.
One wonders how such a fabulous event, where those who are New Yorks finest and bravest were being honored, could possibly be the < This certainly gives one pause. I wonder if this clinton confidante realized what he or she was really saying. Gosh....darn it all....I guess character matters after all.
I'm willing to bet that what really makes Hitlery crazy about this whole event is the realization that she isn't loved by everybody all the time and the fact that she can't discredit the firemen and cops that booed her. What is she going to do, go on TV saying that the NYC cops and firemen are evil hateful cretins? She can say that in response to conservative politicians but she can't say that about cops, firemen, and rescue workers.
Life has got to rough for the Hildebeast these days, and I have no sympathy. When President Bush visited ground zero, he was an instant hit. When Hitlery and her celebrity followers visited, everybody was unnerved, they stood with their arms folded, and they were coldly polite.
BRRRWAAAHAAAHAAA hic hic BRRRRWAAHAAAAAHAAAA
Excellent catch. She is pointing out that people with the character of hero's (FDNY & NYPD) are right wingers. We should be thanking them! :)
