It's just like Manhattan ...

I've been doing a lot of catch-up at work, thanks to my vacation, so I've been a little sparse posting. Especially regarding the congressional race in NY-03. I missed the debate last night between Dave Mejias and Peter King, for example, but Crooks and Liars has some good video of Peter King showing himself to be the liar we all believe he is.

King: Conditions on the ground are different than what you see on television.- As we go through the city of Baghdad, it was like being in Manhattan. I'm talking about bumper to bumper traffic. Talking about shopping centers, talking about restaurants, talking about video stores, talking about guys - on the street corner, talking about major hotels. And so, at that moment, people must be amazingly resilient and you would never know that there was a war going on ... [my em]

Somebody I want in Congress. Maybe he's not a liar, but then he's just delusional*.

BAGHDAD, Iraq - A roadside bomb killed a provincial police intelligence chief in southern Iraq early Wednesday, police said. The military reported nine U.S. troops killed in bombings and combat a day earlier, raising to 67 the number of U.S. troops killed in October...

Yeah, we see NYPD vehicles getting blown up every day, random shootings and torture, and don't forget those beheadings in front of Saks 5th Avenue and the IEDs in Times Square. Although watching the Mets snatch defeat from the jaws of victory could be considered torture.

Time to send Peter King for a long rest, to Bellevue where be belongs. Help us put Dave Mejais in his seat.
