Just noticed G-man didn't just start a new thread about Homeland Security cutting funds for NYC & renaming it but also deleted them from this thread. Since that thread's focus wasn't on Hillary but more generalized, here it is again where it belongs as it is Clinton's reactions to the cuts. On a side note we are missing G-man's post that he titled "Go to hell Hillary"

Actually this is a pretty classy reply to Bush's Chertoff cutting NYC funding by 40% because ... New York has no landmarks?!?

Clinton, GOP Congressman to Chertoff: 'Wish you were here'

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) and Congressman Peter T. King (R-NY), Chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, are responding to a Department of Homeland Security claim that New York City has no "national landmarks and icons" by sending DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff postcards of famous New York sights, RAW STORY has learned.

New York City is home to the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, Brooklyn Bridge, Times Square, Broadway, the Guggenheim, New York Stock Exchange, United Nations, Rockefeller Center, and a host of other world-famous landmarks. The equally famous, now-lost World Trade Center was the site of the bloodiest terror or foreign attack ever on US soil.

The DHS assessment, in which it further found that New York contained just four sites of national interest, was reported by ABC News after the department decided to slash the amount of homeland security funds that the city would receive by 40%.

The postcards that Senator Clinton and Congressman King have sent to Secretary Chertoff can be viewed on Clinton's website. The Senator and Congressman are also encouraging New Yorkers to send postcards to Chertoff themselves.

Earlier today, Clinton, mayor Michael Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Ray Kelly all went on record blasting the process used to determine NYC's relevance.



Why does Chertoff even still have his position?

Fair play!
