Great Television Moment: Reps Anthony Weiner And Peter King Battle Over 9/11 Aid
Anthony Weiner and Peter King have all the makings of that classic tv sitcom trope: two guys that get on each others nerves, but really are just good pals. They’ve much in common: both represent New York in congress, representing both different districts and political parties. And both want to honor and aid those who have sacrificed in our hour of need. But they seem to really disagree over the specifics – in this case, the process by which first responders to 9/11 can receive aid.

But the crew still made a big mess, so all was forgiven.

Specifically he mocked her 'Palinese' and speculated what the country would look like when she became president in 2012, per the 'Mayan Prophecy Weekly'.
