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.

Richard Gere's gerbil made an appearance on Saturday night but when it heard all the boos it climbed back up Gere's ass again. This mean 6 more weeks of bombing.
You must be joking. Under the circumstances I thought they were restrained. Have you forgotten her entourage ran over a cop just last week, spat upon them last year, and referred to the Diablo defendants, who were acquitted on all charges as "murderers"?
Plainly, she LOATHES the police...and they know it.
Most excellent point!
Once this hoity-toity "watsonfellow" finishes his liberal arts education and "traipsing around Europe" (read his profile), he might get his sanctimonious head out of his ass and realize that the heroes in New York earned the right to boo this phoney, clutching, poisonous shrew of a woman off the stage of Madison Square Garden this past weekend. It was one of those moments that made me proud to be an American.
(can stinger missles track witches on brooms?)
Can you be more specific? I don't think they've done a damn thing other than appear in photo ops. Granted, I'm not sure what they could do anyway.
At least Pataki didn't try and act like a dictator in the wake of the WTC. The same can't be said for Giuliani.
Simply doing nothing is what has allowed Bill and Hill to continue to exist.
Your opinion of dignified is really something that would be lost on 2 people who have not recognize dignity in their entire lifes. Silence to them probably would have been translated as being firemen and policemen being in total awe of the greatest (self proclaimed) President in the history of the USA. Which gets us to you moron.
He is also a traipser since he described himself as currently "traipsing" around Europe. watsonfellow also wants us to be impressed by the fact that he is a big fan of Evelyn Waugh (he is the guy who wrote "Brideshead Revisited" where a couple of guys traipsed up to the roof of a castle and roasted their naked buns in the sun together.)
