NY Dem Official Calls For Assassination Of President Bush

New York State Comptroller Alan Hevesi was renominated for his office by New York Democrats on Tuesday. After his commencement speech at Queens College today, he may need to be concerned about going to jail, after seeming to call for the assassination of President George W. Bush.

State Comptroller Alan Hevesi publicly apologized Thursday for a "beyond dumb" remark about "putting a bullet between the president's eyes."

Hevesi hastily called a mea culpa press conference hours after putting his foot in his mouth at the Queens College commencement.

The Queens College media relations office said it had videotaped the commencement but could not immediately provide a copy of the tape or a transcript.

At the press conference, a contrite Hevesi repeated what he recalled saying in the speech. The comptroller said he was merely trying to convey that Sen. Charles Schumer has strength and courage to stand up to the president.

"I apologize to the president of the United States" as well as to Schumer, said Hevesi. "I am not a person of violence."

"I am apologizing as abjectly as I can. There is no excuse for it. It was beyond dumb."

Hevesi said he hadn't been in touch with the White House but he hoped his apology reached President Bush.

Hevesi also called his comments "remarkably stupid" and "incredibly moronic."

"I do speak extemporaneously," he said. "And I've never said anything like this."

Dare I suggest that if this is the. . . uhhhh. . . caliber of candidate put forward by the Democrats, then we need to work hard to ensure they don't have a shot at winning.

Comments on NY Dem Official Calls For Assassination Of President Bush

Dems are already spinning this, saying it was a "joke".

I'm not surprised.

If they want to try that route, does it mean we can joke about ventilating Senator Clinton to ensure she doesn't become president?

I didn't think so.

But then again, Assassination Chic has been acceptable in leftist circles since Nov. 2000.

I've got to agree with you that assassination humor is unacceptable. Besides, only VPs are allowed to shoot people in the face.
