Meehan catches it for stupid remarks
2001-09-15
  • U.S. Rep. Martin T. Meehan had police guarding his Lowell office after comments he made critical of President Bush's leadership prompted an angry reaction nationwide. In an interview published in yesterday's Herald, Meehan questioned the White House response to suggestions that Bush stayed away from Washington too long during the terrorist attacks - and publicly doubted that Air Force One was a target of the hijackers. ``I don't buy the notion Air Force One was a target,'' he said. ``That's just PR. That's just spin.''

    But yesterday Meehan said, ``The reality is I fully support the president and I have fully supported the administration from the beginning of this crisis.'' The congressman did not dispute the accuracy of the quotes attributed to him in an interview with two Herald reporters, but said they were taken out of context. (by David R. Guarino and Ellen J.
