Hillary's 9/11 Insult May Cost New York Rebuilding Bucks
When it comes to spending federal dollars to rebuild New York City in the wake of 9/11's terrorist attacks, New York Senator Hillary Clinton wants all the help she can get from the Bush White House.
But the problem for New Yorkers is their junior senator thinks she can insult President Bush in one breath - then turn around and demand that he bail out her state in the next.
On Wednesday New York Democrats were agitated over rumors that Vice President Dick Cheney was lobbying Capitol Hill in an attempt to siphon off money earmarked for the city's 9/11 rebuilding effort.
Rep. Jose Serrano, D-Bronx, told WABC Radio that one "horrible" rumor he's heard has the White House backing a plan to postpone reimbursing New York for its 9/11 expenses and raising the money later by cutting building projects elsewhere in the country.
"I was just on the phone with Senator Clinton," Serrano said, "who believes, as Senator Schumer, that we just have to continue to push this."
But if Serrano and Clinton's fears are accurate - and the White House is indeed backing away from President Bush's initial promise to bankroll New York's rebuilding effort with a generous $20 billion grant - disgruntled Democrats have only Hillary to blame.
Just last weekend, in some extremely ill-timed remarks for a senator who is looking for favors from the White House, Clinton seemed to fault the Bush economic program for the terrorist attacks that devastated lower Manhattan.
"If we hadn't passed the big tax cut last spring, that I believe undermined our fiscal responsibility and our ability to deal with this new threat of terrorism, we wouldn't be in the fix we're in today," she told CNN on Saturday.
And if that comment wasn't inopportune enough, she threw more partisan gasoline on the fire by adding:
"We had eight years of prosperity because we paid down our debt and we got rid of our deficit. We hit a rough spot, and it was turned into a terrible bump because of the attacks of September 11."
Who could blame the Bush White House if, after hearing Clinton's comments, it decided she was behaving like a politican who didn't need its help very much.

That woman's(?) mouth overloaded her ass one too many times. She must think that she still has power, and has yet to learn that both of them have been castrated.
