Sunday: The Ground Zero Mosque Imam brags about his voting record. Monday: The New York Post checks his voting record.
Not quite a New York minute, but close enough.
The Post has the damaging details:
"I didn't say I'd voted. I said I'd boated. Yeah, that's it. That's what I said."
The leader of the Ground Zero mosque, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, yesterday said he’s a loyal American, and cited his voting record to prove it.
The only problem is that, according to Board of Elections records, Rauf hasn’t voted since 2001. In fact, New Jersey records show that he’s no longer registered in his home state, The Post has learned.
“I vote in elections, I pay taxes, I pledge allegiance to the flag, and I am a Giants fan — I am glad they won yesterday,” Rauf quipped during a speech to the Council on Foreign Relations yesterday.
But New Jersey records show that Rauf, once a registered Democrat, voted last in November, 2001, when Jim McGreevey was elected governor.
Of course, he was a registered Democrat. We wouldn’t have guessed anything else.
