October 23, 2001 -- The widespread booing of Sen. Hillary Clinton at Saturday night's Madison Square Garden mega-benefit for the World Trade Center victims was regrettable - well, sort of - but hardly surprising.
After all, New York police and firefighters were given prime seats for the all-star concert, and they remember all too well what the state's junior senator has had to say about New York's Finest - pre-Sept. 11, that is.

The booing was appropriate,it was the low life clintons showing up, that was tacky!!
Well, I didn't know this!!! This was a Dem event. Now, I think the booing is entirely appropriate.
Thanks for the post.
It back-fired on the glory-hogs, ha ha ha.
Hillary's delegates spit on and taunt Police Honor Guard at her Convention
Chuckie the gun grabber did not speak, but Gov. Pataki did deliver an animated and very well received speech.
Note to Hollywood: A large percentage of the live audience were police officers and their families. As GUESTS, not on paid detail. This might come as somewhat of a shock, but Wall Streeters have to KNOW their CUSTOMERS. Perhaps you might want to try that approach...
From an outstanding article in the Boston Herald posted elsewhere...
I say, finally New Yorkers are getting a dose of reality. September 11, 2001 destroyed their rose colored glasses and they are seeing for the first time, just how much help a bunch of do-gooder-self-righteous-race-baiting liberals are in a crisis.
The only experience the Elite Liberals have had in helping out is to take our money for their left-wing causes. You are now seeing the elite media and liberal left exposed for the imposters that they have always been.
But hey- they feel our pain right? The only pain I want them to feel is the pain of having empty wallets.
"regret: 1 a : to mourn the loss or death of
b : to miss very much
2 : to be very sorry for"
Regrettable only in the meaning of the first definition of the verb.
No problem. It's always interesting watching an event and then observing the liberal media reporting on it. It shows one how biased they are.
If Drudge had not featured the reception to Hillary, very few people who did not watch the event, would be aware of just how unpopular this witch is.
It goes without saying the media hardly reported on just how well received Mayor Giuliani and Gov. Pataki were received compared to Mr. and Mrs. Sleaze.
And remember, this was in New York! Just imagine how much the heartland of America despises the Clintons.
It's a laugh checking out the lefty websites. They're still debating, whether the witch was even booed at all!
So in effect she called members of the NYPD "murderers."
The NYPD will never forget that.
Yes, I agree, the proper response would have been silence, utter and complete silence, the kind of silence that only occurs in an empty auditorium.
After the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, which killed six and injured 1,000, President Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.
After the 1995 bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed five US military personnel, Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.
After the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed 19 and injured 200 US military personnel, Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.
After the 1998 bombing of US embassies in Africa, which killed 224 and injured 5,000, Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.
After the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole, which killed 17 and injured 3 US sailors, Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.
Maybe if Clinton had kept his promise, an estimated 7,000 people would be alive today.
An interesting question:
There are two men, both extremely wealthy. One develops relatively cheap software and gives hundreds of millions of dollars to charity. The other sponsors terrorism. That being the case, why is it that the US government has spent more money chasing down Bill Gates over the past ten years than Osama bin Laden?
And Last:
It is a strange turn of events. Hillary gets $8 Million for her forthcoming memoir. Bill gets about $12 Million for his memoir.
This from two people who have spent the past 8 years being unable to recall anything about past events!
Let us not forget how Broom Hilda called the NYPD murders ..
