to voters outside of the Northeast. It was his explanation I guess as to why House repubs felt they could reject the bill. To their credit, others on the show did talk about the responders who have died or are sick from the pollution after the attack.

That smug bastard was dissing the righteous indignation of Rep. Weiner on the House floor yesterday. Of course, how does Pat know what people outside the Beltway think?

I truly wonder where he gets his pipeline to "the rest of the country"? He never seems to step outside the MSNBC studio from whence he makes his pronouncements...

1. Oh, but politicians outside the Northeast sure love to use 9/11 whenever it suits them.

2. He claims he has a pipeline to god

I wonder why god would talk to a man that had his senator father work to get him a safe military position during the Korean war.
He was a liquor officer and had sex with many women in Korea, but now he is an expert on morals for everyone....interesting

3. Does that mean Charlie Daniels is going to remove his 911 guitar from his museum?

911 must be so 2001.
