Senator Hillary Clinton has done little for these people except to offer the usual platitudes and then, effectively disappear.

Actually, she disappeared only *after* horning her way into enough photos and videotapings.

As much as she and her elitist, sissified pals would like to believe that these heroes are just ignorant, mouth-breathing, blue-collar grunts who scrape their knuckles along the ground as they walk into the bar to drink some Schlitz, they're smart and perceptive people. They have to be -- they have had to learn to quickly assess situations and make fast decisions, otherwise they could risk lives.

After all that, getting a read on what a phony, condescending bitch she is isn't particularly difficult.

Bravo, NYC GOP Chick! One of the most cogent, insightful observations I've EVER read!

This is very true. These are guys who make it through a very tough hiring process. Thousands show up for just a few positions. Everyone takes a civil service test, which is just an aptitude test, and only the top 100 or so scores are even considered. So everyone you work with is sharp, which is a bummer when you have to test against them for promotion.
However, things change. Our department has gone away from the standard civil service test for hiring. They prefer a more subjective approach that allows them to handpick by race and sex.
