Douchebag.
No; quite believable from a guy named Weiner (pr. Why-ner)
Just as soon as NYC clears the UN outta there.
Did this moron actually say that? What the hell was he referring too?
Yea, the troops on the ground really owe you one Mr. Weiner
Nyahh. He's just a cheap hot dog.
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot??
what a schmuck
And the assault in the military by the other party (5th Column) continues...
Maybe if NYC provided real living wages for the cops and firefighters...they wouldn't have to be in reserves.
But that would cost money from the taxpayers in NY...so we cant possibly ask them to pay more for the very people who risk their lives for them.
GOD FORBID.

It's from the July 1st New York Post article:
More than 2,000 city workers have been called up to serve in Iraq or Afghanistan since 9/11, costing the city $65 million, Rep. Anthony Weiner said yesterday.
When municipal workers who are military reservists are called up for active duty, the city makes up the difference in salary.
Since 2001, city workers on military leave missed a total of 700,000 days of work, said Weiner (D-Brooklyn/Queens).
"For every police officer taken off the streets of New York to serve in Fallujah, New York taxpayers are footing the bill," he said.
He proposed a $40 billion federal revenue-sharing bill that would include aid for US cities that lose manpower due to military leaves.
Some city 1,191 cops and 251 firefighters are among the 2,082 municipal workers have been called up since 2001, Weiner said.
Currently there are 488 city workers on military leave.
"It's time that the military reimburse New York for its sacrifice," Weiner said.
Perhaps a tour on the ground with real defenders of the nation might change his outlook..or would he whine/weiner even more?
"Hmmm...it doth give one pause for wonder."
I think the weiner's brain got grilled and it wasn't by the UNCJ.
Ok, fine, I'll even buy his wife her first burqa. Arabia's finest. How's that for reimbursement?!?! What a s***head.
I think $65 million is a small price to pay, given that haven't been any more smoking holes in the ground in New York since 9/11...
Rep. A Weiner (D) NY
Does the (D) stand for Democrat or Dumbass?!
yea but what they don't say is that every city employee that has been given double pay by the military and city have to pay back one of them usually the lesser... so the talk of someone should pay them back is nonsense when the ones who were paid are clearing their own debt.

Was that a tricky question? Either way is OK!
