MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!0 comments
G.O.P. Option at Convention: Luxury Liner
Sad to say, the Achille Lauro is no longer available.
I guess this shows the Republican Yacht Crowd to be, well, the Yacht Crowd.
And, yep, the Yacht Crowd is just what millions of long-term unemployed Americans need to see in connection with the start of the Republican Presidential Campaign.
Personally, I'm having my topsiders re-deck-soled even as we speak. You don't want to dally with this one.
Most NYers, in this heavily Democratic town, have been embarrassed enough by the Republicans holding their 2004 Shrub-a-thon in our fair, but battered, city. And now our beloved House Majority Leader Tom (Bugman) DeLay wants not to sully his dainty foot on any New York City soil that does not contain the ashes of victims of the World Trade Center.
Go, big fella. This is classically bad public relations, even by your standards.
Plus, at a time when almost every other New York State Republican is making themselves scarce on this issue, let's have a moment of silence for the now-defunct political career of Rep. Vito J. Fossella (R-Staten Island) for allowing himself to be turned into the Official Traitor of the City of New York, in order to curry favor with the Bugman, a/k/a "the Hammer" in the U.S. House of Representatives. Even the heavily Republican sections of Staten Island will have problems swallowing this one, Vito.
"Oh, Vito! Do be a sport and go ask Mumsy to send down some more martinis. I love the name of his district, don't you? Satin Island. Sounds so luxurious, don't you think?"
I love these guys.
