.Partisan attacks: Just after the Sept. 11 attack on the
United States the Boston Herald wrote that Congressman Marty
Meehan (D-MA), scoffed at the concept of Air Force One as a
terrorist target: "I don't buy the notion Air Force One was
a target," said Meehan. "That's just PR. That's just
spin..."
Hypocrisy: In 1998 he was among the more vocal House
Democrats serving on the Judiciary Committee with jurisdiction
over the impeachment of President Clinton. When Clinton bombed
Iraq on the eve of the full House's impeachment vote, Meehan was
quoting as saying:
"'Shame on you for playing into the hands of Saddam, who
clearly staged his latest act of defiance to coincide with the
impeachment process,' thundered Rep. Martin T. Meehan, D-Mass.
at those Republicans who questioned the president's motives.
'You have empowered our nation's enemy.'" (Richmond
Times-Dispatch, 12/18/98)
"'To our colleagues who have questioned the president's
motives, shame on you,' Meehan said. 'Shame on you for ending
the tradition of setting aside partisanship at the water's
edge.'" (Hearst Newspapers in Stuart News/Port St. Lucie
News, 12/18/98)
