NY Daily News: "GOP Disses 9/11 Responders"

From the The Mouth of the Potomac, we learn that 9/11 responders are getting the cold shoulder from Capitol Hill Republicans. Not really a surprise. George Bush, Karl Rove, Rudy Giuliani and other GOPers milked all the political value they could from 9/11.

Hard to understand how dissing first responders is good politics. But, as Ohio Republican Senator George Voinovich explained, the GOP is now a party of Southerners and these 9/11 responders are from that liberal bastion, New York City. Republicans have probably made another political calculation here and decided New York's 9/11 responders don't matter to them anymore.
