A Man Is Only As Good As His Word

Barbara’s Evil Spawn shows his true colors again:
New York lawmakers made a last-ditch appeal yesterday to stop the feds from taking back $125 million in unspent 9/11 relief money meant for workers injured at Ground Zero.
Standing with a delegation of disabled workers, they implored President Bush to honor the promise he made to help the city after the terror attack.
“To attempt a takeback of promised 9/11 aid shows how quickly Ground Zero workers are becoming forgotten heroes,” said Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-Manhattan), who sounded the alarm last week over the vanishing money.
John Feal of Nesconset, L.I., who lost half a foot while supervising construction workers in The Pit, said he doesn’t have the money to cover his medical bills. “The White House is wrong, the Bush administration is wrong, and shame on the President for letting this go on,” Feal said.
“Abandoning our wounded responders is no different from leaving the wounded behind in combat,” added Mike McCormick, a medic from Ridge, N.Y., who suffers from respiratory problems.
Actually, Mike, he doesn’t have a problem abandoning the troops, either.
