CONGRESSMAN CHICKEN LITTLE

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg blasted a congressman for saying he'd avoid Times Square like the plague on New Year's Eve.

Rep. Christopher Shays, R-Conn., who heads the House Select Committee on Homeland Security and chairs a terrorism subcommittee, told a TV station: "I wouldn't go into places when you're packed and where if there was panic, a lot of injuries would take place."

Bloomberg said, "You're going to see a million people here who have the courage to come."

Fearmongering, more than actual terrorism, continues to make victims out of our elected representatives.
