Most of the New York Democratic Representatives will blow off Hillary’s historic exit speech on Saturday.
They have things to do.
Hillary is planning on suspending her campaign despite the fact that she won the primary popular vote. Barack Obama was selected by Democratic delegates.
Rep.Charlie Rangel summed it up best. He told reporters, “It’s the Sabbath!… Enough said.”
Charlie Rangel is Catholic.
It’s unfortunate… They’d like to be there… But, things came up.
Poor Hillary is going to be snubbed by her Democratic friends this weekend.
Newsday reported:
Sorry Hillary, they’ve got other plans.
The vast majority of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s congressional supporters in New York will be skipping her Saturday drop-out announcement in Washington – citing reasons ranging from town halls back in their districts to campaign obligations to the observation of the Jewish sabbath.
“It’s shabbos, we’re not going to be here!” said Queens Rep. Gary Ackerman left)., who baked under the sun during an outdoor Capitol Hill press conference today whose purpose was to give 19 pro-Clinton, no-shows a chance to pay their respects.
Ackerman is Jewish but delegation dean Charles Rangel, who isn’t, added: “It’s a Jewish holiday — enough said.”
…In what may be the longest negative RSVP in recent memory, Rangel announced: “Because we are not going to be in session, because of the difficulty in arranging our legislative and political schedules… we thought it would be in the best interests of showing the unequivocal support of what she’s doing… [by] going to our congressional districts this weekend and working hard for the endorsement of the Democratic nominee of these great United States of America.”
Don’t let the door hitcha…
