Denial--A River In New York

Today's "dunce cap" goes to New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg who as Newsbusters.org reports, told Katie Couric the person responsible for the failed bombing attempt in New York over the weekend could be, "somebody with a political agenda who doesn't like the health care bill or something." Remember when New York had a real mayor?

Bloomberg--like Couric and most other knee-jerk lefties--was all too willing to assume this was an American angry at their asinine policies. We can't possibly entertain the possibility it was the work of a group of people who have told us of their intent to annihilate us and our way of life. And it's not just mushy-minded mayors who kiss up to the politically correct elitists.

Watch a TV show that deals with any kind of terrorism. With the possible exception of "24" (so I've been told), acts of terrorism on TV are always home grown, militant crazies. It's not that those lunatics don't exist in our country, they do. But to create stories where Islamic radicals do not exist is a blatant attempt to whitewash reality. At least we all feel better that we haven't angered anyone, though. Right?

UPDATE

As if to prove my point, MSNBC's Contessa Brewer all but says she's really disappointed it wasn't some crazy, right-wing, tea party member. It's insanity. Who roots for a certain group to wreak havoc? Apparently Contessa Brewer does.
