The Morning Read: September 11, 2006
As the fifth anniversary of the terrorist attacks are remembered, the New York Times editorial board writes "we have found one way after another to compound the tragedy. Homeland security is half-finished, the development at ground zero barely begun."
Among President Bush's protesters in Manhattan yesterday was a New York Sun reporter with a thank you sign.
Fred Dicker reports that Eliot Spitzer is disappointed with Mark Green and predicting an Andrew Cuomo blowout.
Not getting blown out are the upstate Republican congressional candidates.
Because he is getting blown out, Tom Suozzi is having some fun at his own expense.
Despite his ads, Andrew Cuomo can't slip into Eliot Spitzer's shoes, which are a size 10. Cuomo wears a 12 1/2.
And in case you forgot, the Middle Town Record headline reminds readers that "Spitzer, Clinton Face Challengers."

Bill Clinton our former horny mid life crisis in chief celebrates his 60th Birthday at the Toronto (not in America) film festival with people who cheered the movie showing the murder of a sitting president. Meanwhile the watered down ABC show parth to 9/11 demonstrates that Bill Clinton and his principle advisors Albright, Berger and Tenet should all be behind bars for their negligence.
is fred dicker a reporter or a columnist? if the latter, does he actually report anything?
Dicker: "Democratic sources have told The Post"
Translation: "This is what Andrew Cuomo told me to write."
After 26 years say good bye too Mark green better late then never.
The NY Sun would thanks George Bush for the slaughter of Arabs and Afghans on behalf of Israel.
To the brainwashed right-wing nutjob who commented first here, spewing his garbage all over the blogs, I say one simple thing:
In the first eight months of the Bush, Jr. administration, how many meetings on terrorism did George Bush call and how many times did he authorize attacks on terrorist training camps?
End of the story, stupid.
The Bushes and the Clintons deserve each other. They both let down the people of America. First Bush's daddy was CIA Director, Reagan VP for eight years, PResident for 4 -- then 8 years of scummy Bill Clinton and now 6 already with Bush, Jr.
IT's not about Democrats and Republicans; it's about letting the Saudis and their friends in Washington (CIA Tenet used to go for drinks to Saudi Ambassador Bandar's Virginia palace after a hard day's work, according to the Washington Post)...Clinton had a jetload of his financial contributors go to Saudi Arabia for a dog and pony show to raise more money for his foundation and Bush, Sr. works for the Saudi government.
So Anon 1054 -- you're the stupid one - idiot.
I don't get the misplaced vehemence of some of these Green supporters who so dislike Fred Dicker and Mario Cuomo. I can't imagine who these posters are. But Rich Baum is not Fred Dicker. Who doubts that Green is over, not just tomorrow but in futuro, for tilting against the Spitzer campaign in that way? Don't they realize Spitzer runs the show from now on? It makes no sense at all.
Democratic sources tell me that the vehemenence against Fred Dicker comes from the fact that he "reports" things that aren't true ... like that Spitzer asked Green to take down the ad; or that Green was under investigation by the DA; or that Corey Johnson was fired.
If he wanted to say the lawsuit has nothing to do with Cuomo, then no one's stopping him. In fact, its reasonable to think that because Spitzer hasn't contradicted Green's endlessly repeated claim that the lawsuit does cover Cuomo's tenure in office, which Cuomo has denied, that Spitzer knows Green's telling the truth.
FU DIcker, that is his real name. Everyone knows how Mario used FU Dicker to destroy other Dems that did not agree with him.
Dicker has been shilling for the Cuomo's since the 1980's.
I'm trying to find an article online to show the president saying the flags should be at half masts today because my college DOES NOT HAVE THEIR FLAGS AT F$%@&G HALF MAST TODAY, this is an American institution wtf is wrong with these people? I'm doing my best to find an article and after I post this comment I'm continuing my search.
OOPS! John Riley -- an impartial reporter, not a cuomo-hack columnist -- calls out Dicker. Turns out, what he wrote is FALSE.

The Mean Greenies' claims about the law suit are contrary to what was said last week by Connnecticut AG Dick Blumenthal, who is considered the dean of all AG's in the US. Blumenthal brought the pesticide suit along with Spitzer. Blumenthal endorsed Andrew Cuomo and unequivocally said that Green is "mistaken" to claim the suit is directed against Cuomo. Blumenthal made clear that the suit is directed, in his words, "solely against the Bush administration." Therefore, the Mean Greenies' claims about the suit are disproven. I trust AG Blumenthal over never-to-be AG Green. Go Andrew!!!!
