Hero New York City firefighter Mike Moran, who thrilled a Madison Square Garden concert audience Saturday night when he taunted Osama bin Laden with the words, "Kiss my royal Irish ass!" slammed New York Senator Hillary Clinton on Wednesday, saying she's a transparent phony.
"I think when times are good and things are going well, people will sit there and listen to the kind of claptrap that comes out of her mouth," Moran said, in an interview with number one radio talker Rush Limbaugh.
Limbaugh had asked Moran why he thought the Garden audience booed Mrs. Clinton off the stage when she tried to introduce a video clip by comic Jerry Seinfeld. The hero fireman didn't hesitate to offer an explanation.
"When things are going like this, when it's serious times and serious men who actually suffered losses and she wants to get up and spew her nonsense -- she doesn't believe a thing she says. She says whatever she thinks will fit the moment."
Moran told Limbaugh that Mrs. Clinton's phoniness is transparent. "I think it comes through. And in serious times, people don't want to stand for it."
Moran said he wasn't a hero. But instead praised the men of Ladder Company Number 3 in Manhattan, 12 of whom, including Moran's brother, perished while trying to rescue burn victims from the fortieth floor of World Trade Center Tower One.
"The captain, Paddy Brown, gave a report from the North Tower that they had 30 to 40 severely burned people that they were trying to get down the stairs," Moran told Limbaugh.
"A few minutes later, he gave the most urgent kind of message a fireman could give -- a mayday that the building was coming down around him."
Moran said the building didn't fully collapse for another ten minutes, more than enough time for his colleagues to escape certain death.
But, said the fireman, "they wouldn't leave those people."
"I can't allow myself to be compared to those true heroes," the he told Limbaugh.

In a perfect world, you might be right. But this occasion must have been terribly emotional for those who had lost friends and kin, under extraordinary circumstances. It sounds to me that the reaction was a spontaneous outburst of that emotion--surely forgivable, under the circumstances, where it must have seemed that this duplicitous woman was merely there to exploit their grief for political purposes.
There are not many situations like this, in any one person's life. The contrast between this Fireman's brother and Hillary is so stark as to cause just about anyone to drop their normal guard of decorum.

Whatever happened to Rudy's health problems? Did they go away, with the Dixie Mafia threat, when he bowed out of the race?
I see him at the ball games and on commercials and he doesn't appear to be in bad health.
How do you treat scum in a dignified manner? What in the world have you been smoking? Hitlery has spent a lot of time and effort attacking the very principles that most Americans believe in. What is wrong with letting her know exactly and in no uncertain terms how we feel about her? So now it isn't PC to voice our opinions if they disagree with the left -- but it has always been that way, hasn't it. It is about time that we stand up, booooo the phony "leaders" as much as we want, and take our country back from the RATS that are destroying us.

A true NY cop recognizes someone who is NOT a New Yorker. Hillary is nothing more than a profiteering politician.
After 20 years of seeing uniformed cops standing behind politicians announcing the newest gun-grab scheme, I am not so sure that is true...
