Well that’s stupid…

Chris Shays didn’t get the memo describing the Republicans’ (and Democrats’ (and Americans’)) views on not giving in to terrorism:

December 31, 2003 — Count on one less out-of-towner at tonight’s New Year’s Eve celebration in Times Square.

Rep. Christopher Shays (R-Conn.) offered his regrets yesterday, telling The Post that he’d avoid the Times Square crowd because it’s a “tempting target” for terrorists.

“I wouldn’t go to Times Square. That is my opinion. It is one based on the reality that the government has declared a Code Orange,” said Shays.

Air safety also worries Shays – “I wouldn’t be flying from Europe to the U.S. in an airplane,” he said.

UPDATE: Command Post has a good piece on Shays’s stupidity.
