Rep. Peter King (R-NY) Says That Being In Baghdad Is ‘Like Being In Manhattan’

On Feb. 9, 2006, House Homeland Security Chairman Peter King (R-NY) spoke at the Merrick Jewish Center in Merrick, NY. King told his constituents that "the situation [in Iraq] is more stable than you think." He cited "bumper to bumper traffic," shopping centers, restaurants, video stores, vendors, and hotels to conclude that being in Baghdad is "like being in Manhattan." ThinkProgress has obtained exclusive video from a person who was at the event. Watch it: (at link)

AND THEN THIS MUST BE MANHATTAN THEN

DAILY LIFE IN MANHATTAN LOOKS LIKE THIS THEN



OR LIKE THIS



THAT CAUSES THIS BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC





Republican Congressman from New York, Peter - we count the votes - King is not only out of touch but he is out to lunch also. Perhaps one too many Big Macs and Jumbo Freedom Fries with that Coke. I thought I saw him in the drive thru...

Start spreading the news
I'm leaving today
I want to be a part of it, Baghdad, Baghdad
These vagabond shoes
Are longing to stray
And make a brand new start of it
Baghdad, Baghdad
I want to wake up in the city that never sleeps
To find I'm king of the hill, top of the heap
These little town blues
Are melting away
I'll make a brand new start of it
In old Baghdad
If I can make it there
I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you, Baghdad, Baghdad.

You sing it, I'll hum !

Great post Max.

I want to be a part of it, New York, New York..............
