While watching NBC's (Nitwit Broadcasting Company), coverage of the St. Paddy's Day Parade....I saw a sign for the City Council of NYC..being carried by "The Children," and guess who was behind it...Hitlery Witch, and as she walked there were boos and hisses..
Of course the Nitwits at NBC never even mentioned Hitlery's booing audience....They kept talking how the firemen and cops got standing ovations...but nothing about the Booing of the Witch...
Anybody else notice this? Or am I the only one in the one in the world?
Didn't she get more like 106% of the black vote last go-around? We all know big city RAT politics.

Whenever Hitlery hits the street walking in a parade to promote her socialist agenda, the ground around her goes "BUMP!"
The "Personality Parade" questions are such obvious set-ups that it's a laugh. The "Intelligence Report" is equally transparent. They LOVE gushing over hollywood activists, gay & repro(DESTRUCTO)ductive rightists and celebrity eco-politics.
Years ago, a poll of it's readers, found (unsurprisingly) that Carl Sagen was "the smartest man alive." Parade was, after all, his sounding board. I will never forget his "contributions." Like when they published his "Global Winter" essay,(which was actually an anti-Gulf War essay). Or the "Abortion" piece with the deceptive human-animal embryo illustrations. Or his UNFORGETTABLE "A Scientist Looks At the Constitution" essay. In it, he compared peaceful Pro-life demonstrators with Nazis and Satanists (all "protected" by the constitution). The PARADE bio for his essay mentioned his qualifications as an Astrophysist, Professor, TV host, etc.. But NOT ONE mention of the most relevant "qualification" of all - his national board position with the ACLU.
Crock, crock AND MORE CROCK!!!! What next, more Swillary Cookie Recipies?
Yeah, it worked for PAULA POUNDSTONE, why not her?
She was also outdoors this time...it's just never going to be as loud outdoors.
Sorry I missed it. :(

The Pipes Call and a New Mayor Answers
By DIANE CARDWELL
ayor Michael R. Bloomberg marched up Fifth Avenue yesterday in his first appearance at the St. Patrick's Day Parade, one of the city's most prominent political stages. It was the latest in a series of holiday events that have kept him shuttling around the city in the last few weekends.
Following in the tradition of his predecessor, Rudolph W. Giuliani, Mr. Bloomberg, who plans to attend two more St. Patrick's Day parades today, marched along a stretch of the route four times, doubling back to walk with the Fire, Sanitation and Corrections Departments after walking first with the Police Department and law enforcement officials.
At an early breakfast at Gracie Mansion offering whiskey-spiked coffee, pastries and smoked salmon sandwiches, Mr. Bloomberg spoke of the close relationship between Ireland and the city.
He also touched upon the bittersweet emotions of the day, which came just six months after thousands of people, many of them Irish- American firefighters and police officers, died in the Sept. 11 attack on the World Trade Center.
"You can't forget the sacrifices that were made by 2,800 people, 400 people who rushed into buildings, many of them who would be marching today or standing on the sidelines of this parade," he said. "And I think that we have to be able to remember them, and at the same time just look at it in the faces of the children, and that's why you have a parade."
The question of whether to march in the parade has become a thorny one for politicians in recent years because of a ban on gay organizations' marching under their own banners, a policy that forces politicians to choose between showing support for diversity and offending one of the city's more established ethnic groups. Navigating those tricky waters, Mr. Bloomberg, who had suggested during his campaign that he would avoid parades that bar gay groups, invited members of the Irish Lesbian and Gay Organization to his breakfast, which was also attended by several Democrats who avoided Fifth Avenue.
Aine Duggan, a spokeswoman for the gay organization, said that the mayor had taken an important step in inviting the members of her group to the breakfast, although she reiterated the group's opposition to his participation in the parade. "We're hoping that we can continue meeting with the mayor's office to ensure that the 2003 parade will be inclusive, just like this breakfast is inclusive today," she said. "And as you can see, we're all mingling here together, it's a very happy occasion, there's no controversy. It is possible for all Irish people to be in the same room at the same time and represent different interests."
Mr. Bloomberg also greeted a group of gay protesters along the parade route.
The parade was full of current and former elected officials, including former Mayor Edward I. Koch; Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, who was intermittently heckled as a non- New Yorker; Gov. George E. Pataki; and Gov. James E. McGreevey of New Jersey, who limped along on crutches after breaking his leg last month.
"I'll get you my pretties, and your little dogs too."
