A bedbug epidemic has exploded in every corner of New York City - striking even upper East Side luxury apartments owned by Gov. Spitzer's father, the Daily News has learned.

Unfed liberal Democrats are 1/4 to 3/4 inch long.
They are brown or red-brown in color and the upper
surface of the body appears crinkled. Recently fed
on conservatives, they are engorged with blood, dull
red in color.

The blood-sucking nocturnal creatures have infested a Park Ave. penthouse, an artist's colony in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, a $25 million Central Park West duplex and a theater on Broadway, according to victims, exterminators and elected officials.

Once linked to flophouses and fleabags, bedbug outbreaks victimize the rich and poor alike and are spreading panic in some of the city's hottest neighborhoods.

What?

Again?

An epidemic spread from NYC about two years ago and got clear across the country.

We had pilots and flight attendants getting eaten in hotels even in remote areas (when I flew for the regional, even in remote Wisconsin and Michigan towns). The epicenter was supposed to be NYC, where third-world guests had supposedly brought the bugs in.

Not disease carriers, but they bite and leave welts. I saw some people coming off trips looking pretty chewed up.

Criswell (http://www.metroactive.com/thrift/thrift2.html) got the city wrong, but ...

"I predict that next year will be the insect year. Bedbugs in Boston! Fleas in Philadelphia! Vultures in Virginia! Cicadas in Kansas! Beetles in Birmingham! Ticks in Tennessee! Plus: the Invisible Insects in Indiana! "

From the article:
"The blood-sucking ... creatures have infested ..."

I thought that happened during the elections....
