Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins go all NIMBY on a hospital for the poor BETSY'S PAGE BLOG Apparently, they're just not as interested in helping the poor if the help will come in their own neighborhood. TIM Robbins' and Susan Sarandon's mission to protect the poor and needy doesn't apply to their Greenwich Village neighborhood. The Oscar-winning liberals recently attended a Landmarks Preservation Commission hearing to oppose St. Vincent's plea to build a new, larger hospital on West 12th Street, three blocks from their home. This despite their support of causes like UNICEF and Champions for Children. "The hospital provides $40 million in care to the indigent every year," one proponent told us. "Robbins dismissed more than 100 people rallying in support of the hospital - low-income, union workers and veterans of the AIDS crisis - as 'those people out there.' " Sarandon said in a statement: "Improving the hospital is a great idea. However, this can be accomplished without compromising the neighborhood. St. Vincent's should consider the proposed alternative solutions." Robbins declined to comment. betsyspage.blogspot.com

Dem Jamie Gorelick is to blame for intelligence failures leading to 9/11. A NJ Democrat, (Fiorilla?) had already pushed a bill through congress that prohibited any exchange of information between the US intelligence agencies. Gorelick was one of Janet Reno's lawyers--she strengthened the initial law making it even more impossible for the CIA & FBI to communicate with each other. It was more of the habitually lousy liberal mindset that led to 9/11. The 9/11 commission, of which Gorelick was a member, dismantled her foolhardy liberal determination to prevent American intelligence agencies from exchanging info. Have you yet identified the obvious pattern apparent whenever the excrement hits the fan in WashDC?...9 times out of 10, it's Democrats' illogical liberal thinking that caused the problem in the first place. >the case of the guy wanting to take flying lessons, but NOT landing lessons. If anybody had done even rudimentary followup after the FBI guy raised concerns about that, then there would NOT have been any 9/11.<

RMF It's easy to play the guessing game and say what if and someone should go to jail. Perhaps Al Gore should never have invented the internet(of course we know he didn't it was a prototype develeped by Darpa). One could say that that darn internet made us vulnerable as the terrorists and countries against us have been able to secure information they never dreamed of having. In another message you noted that Bush is to blame for Obama. That is poppycock-------Obama is a product of his father and mother and his background. Obama has a dream, and his dream is to rule America and the world---------that did not come from Bush. That's a dream that he is possessed with since being a misfit in Hawaii per his own admission. If you want Obama then vote for Obama. If you want to stop his take over then vote for McCain. mj
