Pataki calls Sen. Clinton 'hypocritical', rejects demand he repudiate Rove remarks

"I think it's a little hypocritical of Senator Clinton to call on me to repudiate a political figure's comments when she never asked Senator Durbin to repudiate his comments," Pataki said.
...
Mayor Michael Bloomberg urged both sides to cool their rhetoric, saying, "We owe it to those we lost to keep partisan politics out of the discussion and keep alive the united spirit that came out of 9/11."

Steve Gilliard responds:

I hope 9/11 families and the survivors remember this, as well as those with family members serving in combat.

Remember how that turd Pataki sat there and laughed while Karl Rove stood there and insulted New York. Notice how Mike Bloomberg won't say dick either. While your sons are fighting and dying in Afghanistan and Iraq, that little bastard impugned their patriotism and service to their country. Immigrants, first responders, men who walked away from careers, without consideration of politics, but were among the few who answer the call of their country. Karl Rove just slandered them as ... George Pataki laughed.

Rove who has never served anyone but his wallet, thinks its funny to mock American fighting men. We need to remind Mr. Rove and his bosses that an entire division of New Yorkers, democrats and republicans, independents and right to life, are serving in Iraq. I don't think the 9 men who died within a week in the 69th Regiment were thinking about politics. They were New York Guardsmen and they were serving their country.

Ask Pataki when his kids are planning to join the Guard in Iraq, he thinks it's so funny, or is avoiding service in time of war a family tradition.

Because Rove's comments are not about mere offense. He has insulted those who died on 9/11, those who worked at Ground Zero and those serving in combat. And we need to ask him and those who refuse to repudiate what he said, why they think the courage and bravery of New Yorkers is defined by party enrollment.

I think Mr. Rove will find the reaction to his comments to be far harsher than he expects.

1. I'm waiting for it all to breakdown into more name-calling,

screaming, and then some punches get thrown, the revolution gets started,and the republic is reborn.

3. And the Senators want to carry firearms

in the capitol now.

2. I know this is going to BACKFIRE

BIG TIME and I couldn't be happier that the "turd" pataki is in on the BACKFIRING!

bloomberg needs to get his ass in on this too.

I hope New Yorkers vote his ass out..and, of course, pataki's goin' DOWN!
