Historic Bible goes missing after de Blasio swearing in (update: found)
NY Post ^ | 1/01/13 | Jamie Schram, Larry Celona, Jeane MacIntosh

The FDR bible used by Mayor Bill de Blasio for his swearing in vanished after the New Year’s Day ceremony, sparking a panicked, hours-long search for the historic tome.

“They had the whole detail looking through blankets,’’ a police source said of the scramble by at least 50 NYPD detectives and city officials to find the Bible, which was given to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt as a gift at his first inauguration in March 1933.

Former President Bill Clinton performed the ceremony Wednesday as de Blasio laid his hand on the bible.

He’s lucky that lightning didn’t strike when he held it up.

Especially with Hillary so close by

It was either incompetence or attempted theft. Given the slimy characters present, attempted theft is is the more logical assumption.

Clinton was there and something valuable disappeared? Odd.

All they needed was Bill Maher and they could have had a reunion of the Three Communist Amigos.

IOW, when the missing FDR Bible was found, the pages were stuck together.

What did they expect? Bill & Hillary Clinton were there. Historic things often go missing when the “grifters” are present. Remember the “Count the Silverware Ball”?

Slick lifted it just like all the stuff looted from the WhiteyHut, except it started to burn his hands so he dropped it to be found by NYPD.

It wasn't missing. It was hiding in shame.

Meanwhile, American heroes roll in their graves. They sacrificed for scum like this to be in office and that includes our WH and Congress.

Check out the website:

www.witnesstowar.org

Listen to American heroes tell about the sacrifices they and their fellow soldiers made for our country. Contrast the current amoral, self-serving, power-hungry political elites who inhabit 95% of the political offices in this country.

2014 must be the year that we vote the RAT and RINO vermin out of office and continue in 2016.

LOL, I’m sure the DeBlasio family is better behaved, but I’m also sure they are all COMMUNISTS!

“Meanwhile, American heroes roll in their graves. They sacrificed for scum like this to be in office and that includes our WH and Congress.”

And we all thought Bloomie was a waste. Just wait until this Pinko has spent four years on NYC. DeBlasio is the “white equivalent” of Coleman Young, the twenty-year Marxist Mayor of Detroit. I’ll wager that he can do in one or two terms, what took Young five. First thing that will happen is that the money will leave. Oh, and it will be a hoot if the Rich Chinese Guy buys the NYSlimes! We need to invest in a lot of popcorn.

All too plausible!

Can’t be long now. Evil not only operates in broad daylight, people purposefully vote for and celebrate it, even if they have to hoist it up from a sewer.
