New York Comptroller Apologizes For Bush Assassination Remark
Here's some encouraging news: New York State's Comptroller, Democrat Alan Hevesi, has come to realize that his remark during a Queens College commencement address about "putting a bullet between the President's eyes" was "beyond dumb," "remarkably stupid," and "incredibly moronic." Maybe there's hope, and New York Democrats are beginning to develop some insight into the nature of the views they express.
Then again, maybe Hevesi's lawyers let him know that the Secret Service would be well within its rights to throw him in jail.
For his part, Senator Chuck "The Schmuck" Schumer (D-NY) accepts Hevesi's apology, according to spokeswoman Risa Heller. Hevesi is up for reelection this fall. He's a cinch to get another term in New York's present political climate — provided he tones down his apologies.

He's sorry because threatening the President is punishable by up to 5 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

With more and more of these Leftwing dim bulbs shooting off their mouths, I can see that 2008 will be a GREAT year to wear my "John, Robert, Teddy.... two out of three ain't bad" button.

Ah yes, all that's needed is an apology and all is right with the world. Secretly, Schmuckie Schumer is thanking Allah that this gave him yet another opportunity to position himself in front of a mic.
