RAW STORY
Published: Thursday June 1, 2006

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) and Congressman Peter T. King (R-NY), Chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, are responding to a Department of Homeland Security claim that New York City has no "national landmarks and icons" by sending DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff postcards of famous New York sights, RAW STORY has learned.

With a blowtorch? As I recall, it was a great coup for the intelligence agencies.

I guess they changed their minds and are now releasing the evildoer.

Dear Mr. Chertoff,

Wish you were here!

(Yes, I know the photo is a hoax)

That is so cool. You must disclose the HTML!

By freeper types, I believe. I think it was even on Snopes.

We here at DU laughed at the absurdity that someone could be fooled by that.

When I first saw that reply, it didn't have the disclaimer at the bottom (in parentheses). I clicked on reply to ask whether the poster knew the photo was faked and got a reply box with the parenthetic statement, wondered how I'd missed it, then clicked the back button. Statement gone. Clicked reply, the disclaimer appeared. Clicked back, it disappeared. Very freaky.

I thought the disclaimer was somehow encoded to appear only when I clicked the reply button! LOL. Now I realize that he must have edited the post to add the disclaimer, and I was simply loading the the original version from my cache. It was a really cool effect, though!

The post times are the same.

Chertoff thinks it's something she's trying to sell him.

But they would have been even better if they addressed them "Dear Creepy little Fuckhead..."

And ended them with "nice try, but we're on 'ta youse guys."

Don't fucking mess with NY. Right-Wingers may enjoy crapping on New York, but they sure like to enjoy the free nature of sexual congress when visiting.

Everything from Bolton and Plato's Retreat, to RW business clowns and conventioneers showing up with puds out and wallets open.

I am going to ask my son to pick up some post cards for me tomorrow. He works in the Times Square area and there are bound to be lots of places to buy them.

She has sense of humor and is a creative thinker too.

:thumbsup:

It's just the Yankees that I hate. Maybe Jackoff wants the next attack to take out Steinbrenner? :D

I love it. :rofl:

eta: Hatred never ceases by hatred, but by love alone is healed. This is an ancient and eternal law.

for us, don't they?

"Sorry, don't come to New York City. Nothing to see here. Not even the WTC Memorial . . . nor the Stachoo duh Libty . . ."

Has the US been conquered by aliens that look like giant skulls?

:eyes:

also...

American Museum of Natural History

Radio City Music Hall

Verazzano-Narrows Bridge

The Cloisters

The Bronx Zoo

Madison Square Garden

The Flatiron Building

Times Square

Flushing Meadows Park (and the Unisphere)

...and that's just off the top of my head.

Don't forget Lady Liberty herself! Although she's hiding her eyes these days.

We Washingtonians should do that, too. Which is even more disgraceful because Jackoff LIVES HERE!

She lists the Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, Metropolitan Museum, and Shea Stadium, among others.

Gotta send him a few of the USS Constitution, Bunker Hill Monument, Faneuil Hall, the Minuteman Statue and other such things in and around Boston.

We lost a good chunk of homeland security funding recently, too.

Omaha, NE
Charlotte, NC
Jacksonville, FL

NOT

301 on I-95.

I don't disagree with the sentiment here, but when HRC sleeps with Peter King and Rupert Murdoch, what's up? Is this all we get?

Hillary's getting fleas.

they both think NYC really does have some targets of significance? I'm not sure how that equates with "coupling."

Did you read or are you aware of Peter King's voting record?

Do I need to draw you a picture?

or just King's? I don't like Hillary's every vote, but come on, it's "coupling" to get together to complain about something that just about everyone thinks is wrong? You don't need to be in bed with someone to agree one one subject. Are you one of the DUers who believes that one transgression forever disqualifies?

Edit: Okay, maybe she's guilty of more than one transgression. Still it's hard to discount her action because she partnered in it with a repuke.

but .1% of the time he is right. As when he voted "No" for Clinton's Impeachment, this is another instance where he is correct.

He may have voted for tons of things that progressives don't agree on; but to refuse to work together when you have a goal in common would help no one. This is one of Hillary's best traits in my opinion: Finding a utilizing common ground with even a guy like Pete King.

You partly changed my opinion.

Wait, so how many landmarks are there in the mid-west states that got their money?
It looks to me that actually the money is now being split up based on how many registered voters are republican. By and large red states got the biggest increase in DHS funds than any others.

They know better than anyone where and where not the next terrorist attack(s) will occur.

Don't you know that?

Buildings will magically fall out of the air.
Planes will magically vaporize after going through 6 layers of re-enforced concrete.
It's amazing!

This is not about terrorism.
It never was.
Come on guys -- why aren't we focused on asking the question "How did a fire bring down a skyscraper?!"

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

K & R!

If the exchanges stop trading, cargo stops coming to the United States.

Take a walk over to 15th and Penn, go to the 3rd floor and ask the new Treasury Secretary.

The AMEX, NYSE, NASDAQ and NYMEX might be considered icons.

Had Monkeyboy NOT been asleep at the switch from his selection until the 11th of September, slashing FBI funding and thumbing through books about pet friken goats, NYC would probably have TWO more icons (the WTC towers), and PA would have one less (the crash site memorial).

But hey, need the money elsewhere, gotta protect Wyoming...after all, heheh, Dick has his spread there!

the funding that got cut--(he's the one on that little infamous video talking about how the election was already over as of the summer of 2004--saying the repukes already won, all that's left is to count the votes and "we'll take care of that" or some such shit)

i look at it like he's guilty as sin -- completely complicit in the stolen election -- and now he expects those dirty bastards to play fair? why? just because he helped them steal the election?

what an ass!
