Breslin disgusting attack on Bush death and slams against Ashcroft's religious views

Bush Should Take a Walk Near Home

October 24, 2002

The man who was supposed to be directly in charge of the last three weeks was Bush's favorite, John "Prayer Book" Ashcroft, the attorney general. I think he goes to church to pray against people.

But Ashcroft was nowhere because the president was nowhere. Bush should have been taking a walk through Silver Spring or Rockville. That was his job. He pledged to defend the nation. He could have started by helping to repel the attack on Washington.

It was one thing that Bush was completely disdainful of the World Trade Center. He and his people hate New York. He barely showed for a year. And they blew the attack. They blew it because any threats to New York weren't of such vital interest. New York is filled with blacks and Jews and all kinds of Hispanics and Asians who don't vote right. We don't bother with them during an election, then why stop everything and concentrate on some threat to the place?

Bresling seems to be racing Mailer to see which one will arrive at dementia first.

Yes, for a long time Breslin's sentences have had a kind of
incoherent bluntness, which he probably thinks of as
"Hemingwayesque".

Ah Jimmy Breslin...the columnist who couldn't write straight.

You brought a big smile to my face -- but did anyone else get the joke?

Breslin has completely lost his mind?

He never had one.He made his "rep" as a writer by being someone who "knows" the criminal element in NYC,and who has "special" insights into how they think. The last article I read of his was back in the 60's,and he was supposedly writing about a arsonist he knew who was "mobbed up". His story was such obvious bull that I was shocked a paper would print it.

BTW,all his underworld "contacts" are various people he meets in bars. Now,we ALL know that nobody you meet in a bar would ever tell you a lie,right?

Not only is it trashy, it's rambling like he's high on something. Amazing - these people get paid for this stuff.

Breslin has allegedy been on the wagon for twenty-some years. Somebody give that man a drink!

This is one of the worst pieces of writing I've ever seen by a "professional" writer. When I taught college remedial composition, I would give such shoddy writing a "D."

I sure did. An even bigger joke was the film version of TGTCSS with a young Robert Deniro.

Don't you people see that when history judges your group you will look just as bad as the your racist parents look in today's history

Not at all. History is written by the victors.

And we're going to win. Chew on that one, putz.

Lemme see... Noam Chompsky, Ramsey Clark, Gore Vidal, Robert Altman, Bobert Byrd, Fritz Hollings, and now Jimmy Breslin.

There is almost too much to chose from for a "Grumpy Old Men" movie poster parody of America Haters.

What a scathing retort!! Your extensive grasp of the issues at hand leaves me to question which of us needs to put down the crack pipe.
