Memo to Bill: Stay Away

Yonkers: As someone involved in and affected by the events of Sept. 11, I have a request for former President Bill Clinton: Please do not attend any event that involves the members of the New York City Fire Department. Do not attend any memorial service, concert or other gathering. And, most importantly, do not set foot on that hallowed site known as Ground Zero.

In my opinion (and it is one shared by most of my FDNY brethren), Mr. Clinton is the single individual in this country most responsible for the events of that infamous day. His emasculation of the military and our intelligence agencies contributed significantly to the evil perpetrated on so many innocent Americans.

Please also forward this request to his spouse and their treacherous coterie of blame-America-firsters, multiculturalists and anti-military elitists. Also, tell him that he has finally discovered his legacy: It sits as a smoldering ruin at Liberty and West Sts.

WOW! Says it all.

[RnMomof7]

Just wondering if we could add western NY to the list?

Bill stay away!

"How can anyone who has seen what our military has done to the Taliban think that our military became "emasculated" under Clinton? After all, that's Clinton's military he's talking about. Bush hasn't done one thing to change it in any way from the way it was on January 21."

Yeah, it must have been that other President of ours that has been after Congress almost since the day he took office to include billions more in the budget to rebuild our military.

President Bush has stated numerous times that our military needs some serious rebuilding, not only in numbers, but in equipment, housing, and morale.

X42 has NOTHING to do with the outstanding job our military is doing in Afghanistan. These amazing men and women are doing the job they signed on to do. Fortunately, for all of us, they believe in the United States of America and are proudly defending her today.

Rn-Heck-we could add the WHOLE country to the signature on that memo (excluding the die hard liberal idiots, of course)

Wonderful. Standing "O." Can only add to that:
This is (insert your name here) reminding the Clintons to SHUT UP!

[Cicero]

Wow. That's laying it on the line. And the Daily News published it? Bill clinton's old poker-playing buddy, his prime sycophant? Amazing.

[PhiKapMom]

Looks like the Firemen are getting the word. This should be passed around to Firemen all over the Country and in 2004 they will remember that Pres Bush is their friend and the RATS with the clintons are their enemies!

[backhoe]

Thanks for looking, and yes! That was one of the best letters I've ever read. Cogent and pungent.

[ohioWfan]

LOL!!!! WHACK A MOLE game!!! What a hilarious image!!!

And all three of them (i.e. Bill, Hill, and the mole) are equally attractive!

[Republic]

. Perhaps the worm is turning...although I often feel that with the Clintons we are playing that "whack a mole" game. No matter how many times you think they are really, really gone, they pop up somewhere else

ROFLMAO! My favorite game.....and I am pretty good at it! But this NYFD fellow just gave a very hard whack and surely cracked the 'mole' with this bruising diatribe! God bless him! Alas, tho, I fear you are right. The clintons will be back, just like a pimple that returns to plague the wearer. They will once again get their press buddies to fabricate some news for um....probably with some headling like, bill clinton in serious running for the Nobel Peace Award and Hillary is still not running for president in 2004 although a drafting committee is in the works! arrrrrrrrrgh!

[christine]

good post! :)

[oldvike]

Wow, did you see this note on the editorial page?

The people who've written that immigration needs to stop disgust me. I don't remember all this hatred against white people when Timothy McVeigh blew up the federal building in Oklahoma. Stop blaming an entire ethnic group for the actions of a few psychotics.

This is the much touted Clinton legacy.
It is unfortunate that the Clinton's will not heed this request, but will continue to use exploit the victims and survivors of the attack for their own political means.
Barbara Olson's book is a must read for every American. If all read it, Clinton's would return to Arkansas where they belong.

So easy to suss out a Clinton liberal. Yerbooty's post has Clintonian contrails a mile wide...

[proudofthesouth]

I have a friend who is in the Air Force Reserve. He served under Clintoon and is now serving under President Bush. He has told me that since Mr. Bush was elected that morale has gone up tremondously and that he and his fellow airmen are PROUD to serve under President Bush.

tells it AS it is
