Michael Grimm Open To Offering Internships To Office Vandals

Roll Call:

Rep. Michael Grimm seems to want to do right by the two teenagers who vandalized his campaign office on Staten Island, saying he is open to offering internships or volunteer opportunities to them to give a firsthand view of public work. For their part, the teenagers apparently threw rocks through his window just for the heck of it.

Let's not forget one thing. Rocks were thrown through his office window. Rep. Grimm took the opportunity to claim that his computers had been hacked and data stolen, and implying that Democrats did it. HE LIED. The police did a forensic check of his computers. They weren't hacked. No data had been stolen. The kids who threw the rocks never went into his office. He was just using that incident to try to make out he had been a victim and his office had been a victim.

Why would anyone vote for this whining liar?

These young vandals will soon learn that politics will allow them to harness their criminal instincts in a more productive way. Lesson number 1' 'public service' is double talk for 'self-service'. Lesson number 2, mud slinging is way more satisfying than rock throwing.

I am surprised the vandals didn't carve a backward "B" on his face......like a mugger did to a McCain supporter in 2008

And if you'll recall that mugger turned out to be the guy making the claim. No one drew a backward "R" (not a B, B doesn't make sense, the R does for Republican) on the guy's face. He did it himself to try to blame Democrats. Much as Grimm falsely claimed not only were his windows broken but his office was broken into and his computers hacked. The windows were broken, but the rest was a lie.

I think she was probably being facetious - she did mention it was backward.

Wow, you must not have gotten the update to that story, you should google it cause you are so wrong.

You missed the humor by a mile eh? In 2008 the young lady vandalized her own face and blamed it on an Obama supporter. In this case i suspect Grimm paid his "interns" to vandalize his office

Why did I suspect the vandalism was actually a training exercise? The dream act for Republicans.

Sounds like an "arrangement" to me. Hey kid, throw a few rocks through the window at this address and erase the Hard drive. I'll make it worth your while. It makes him look like a VICTIM and a SAINT. Knowing politicians (especially republicans) they will do ANYTHING to get sympathy, votes or free press coverage.

I was thinking the same thing.

Lol, What are the odds of a republican congressman's office being vandalized by teens.  I'll bet those kids don't even know who the current vice-president is-much less have any POLITICAL knowledge.  Well, it IS FITTING THAT A REPUBLICAN WOULD CHOOSE CRIMINALS TO MENTOR.  THAT experience gives them a GOOD HEAD START IN POLITICS.

The police have already reported that a forensic examination of the computers shows that no hard drives were erased, none of his computer's were hacked. That was a lie he made up to make the rocks thrown through the windows seem worse than they were and a political plot against the office. REP. GRIMM WAS LYING ABOUT THE HARD DRIVES BEING ERASE.

Lol!  I like the emphasis on GRIMM LYING.Typical republican.  Just like Mitt and Ann Romney-LIE LIE LIE to get every last PITY POINTS they can.  It's TOO SUSPICIOUS!  When I was young I would have enjoyed throwing rocks through a few windows (NEVER DID but the thought of revenge was always there) but NEVER did the thought of a POLITICAL OFFICE COME TO MIND.  I think the KEY WORD is [vengeance].  Childhood rock throwing always has something to do with DIRECT hate, retaliation or BULLYING.  SOMETHING STINKS IN STATEN ISLAND!

We will be waiting for two things from you
First, an apology for insinuating Dems vandalized your office
Second, an apology and resignation for above lie and saying your computers were wiped clean.
