Bad news, New Yorkers: Once again, rightbloggers are pretending to care

what happens to you.

You may remember that right after 9/11 it became trendy for

conservatives to gush over New York and Rudy “America’s Mayor” Giuliani.

Then, when it became apparent that New Yorkers still weren’t

going to vote Republican, they went back to their usual uncomprehending contempt toward the big, bad City (“I get the

feeling these New Yorker liberals just don’t understand how 9-11 changed

things. It’s like they don’t even remember it”).

But this weekend a car bomb was found, undetonated, in Times Square,

and rightbloggers rushed to explain that the non-explosion was, like

the crotch-bomber’s non-explosion, all Obama‘s fault,

and to generally try to make terror work for them, as it did back in

those marvelous days of September 2001, by wrapping the city they

despise in their oily, insincere hugs.
