9/11 did not happen yesterday. It happened almost a decade ago. Maloney had a decade before that to acquire "seniority," (instead of seniority, what she has acquired is senioritis) and to learn the ropes in Congress, and she has had a decade since to bring those skills to use to the service of the firefighters of this city, and she has failed. And Al Hagan has failed with her.

No one said their trying to get this bill passed was a bad idea, and I hope it passes in some form down the line, because it is a necessary bill.

"...you should be joining the scores of advocates in support of its future passage."

Well Al Hagan, that is precisely the plan. That is what she intends to do when she is in Congress starting this Fall. And that is why you need to at least go neutral in this primary. Just because you have been hanging out with Maloney over the years does not make her worth endorsing. Let the democratic process decide who should be your Congressperson.

Al Hagan's logic goes something like this. 9/11. I am a labor boss. 9/11. Maloney is in Congress. 9/11. We wanted this 9/11 health bill passed, but that was almost a decade ago. 9/11. We have been trying every year since to get it passed. 9/11. We have been failing. 9/11. I had coffee with Maloney the other day. 9/11. I hope you did not hear about it, but the bill's passage failed all over again. 9/11. And if you are going to criticize my incompetence, and Maloney's incompetence, do not forget that 9/11 happened. 9/11.

This is as convoluted as logic gets. This logic is so convoluted, I think this guy is capable of a hate crime.

Nadler Should Vacate The Maloney Sinking Ship

Nadler: Saujani Needs to 'Check Her Facts' (observer.com)

And we thought Maloney was the only one behind the failed 9/11 health bill. All sorts of people are now coming out of the woodworks saying me too. Where have you been? El Dorado?

To stand by Maloney is to stand by Rangel is to stand by ethics violations. Nadler needs to take precautions here. I don't know much about him but he comes across like he might be a good guy. But even good guys sometimes make mistakes. And he is making one now.

Maloney is a sinking ship. Vacate.

Look Nadler dude, it is like this. The party you are a member of is on its way to an intellectual bankruptcy by 2016. You prevent that by bringing along Reshma Saujani. Why do you think Maloney is so scared of debating Reshma? It is because she knows Reshma is going to talk 2016 ideas. Maloney has no idea what those 2016 ideas are. Do you care about the future of your party? If you do, you are standing on a sinking ship. Vacate immediately.

Hard Fact For Al Hagan: Maloney Failed To Pass 9/11 Health Bill

That is the hard fact for Al Hagan, the firefighters' labor boss dude. Carolyn Maloney tried to pass the 9/11 health bill. That shows her heart is in the right place on the issue. But she failed to pass it. That shows she is too incompetent to do her job.

Al Hagan should have been questioning her right now. Look, Carolyn, whatever you did there is not working. Instead he is defending her failure. Why would that be? I think I know why. Because Hagan himself was part of that Maloney effort. Maloney failing is Hagan failing and perhaps the firefighters of this city should keep that in mind the next time this dude is up for reelection for his office of firefighter labor boss.

He still has the option to do the right thing. He can look at the facts. And he can say, look people, I was betting on the wrong horse. I thought Maloney could do it, but she was not able to. And so let's have a change of guard. Let's get ourselves a new Congressperson who might actually be competent. And then let's try to get the 9/11 health bill passed. Hopefully we will with new, capable leadership. Let's shoot for 2011.

This don't you criticize us, we are the 9/11 firefighters attitude is not flying with me. That is one of many wrong uses of the 9/11 tragedy. That is disrespectful. The issue here is that there is a job that needs to get done and it is not getting done.

Maloney is a sinking ship. Vacate.

I was slightly worried when the labor bosses were all with Hillary in the fall of 2007. Bu then once the election results started pouring in it became very obvious to me that these labor bosses are like reptilian tails, they are like the big tail of a dinosaur. You don't look at that tail to look at future trends. That tail is absolutely the last to move. The labor bosses don't give you victory. They come to you after your victory. And that's fine. We welcome them to our victory party on September 14 with open arms.

Maybe these labor bosses are not educated people. When was the last time they read a book?

They are like, oh, Maloney voted for health care reform and so we are for Maloney. The election against the Republican candidate is in November, stupid. The two people on the ballot on September 14 were both for health care reform. They are both Democrats.

Maloney voted for health care reform. Of course she voted for health care reform. She is your classic checkbox Democrat. But someone who votes for health care reform is not good enough to be representing District 14. District 14 is special. You want someone in Congress who would have provided leadership on health care reform. You want a thought leader. You want a national halo around your Congressperson. You want a Super Star. You deserve better than Maloney. Maloney is too "ordinary." (The Washington Post)

NYDaily News: Reshma Saujani Says: Check The Facts, NY-14: a new "Check The Facts" web page .... Maloney has spent more time at posh fundraisers than doing her job on Wall Street reform....... Carolyn Maloney compromised her integrity by engaging in the same unethical behavior as eight other House members currently under investigation
