Bennett: 'We caused' the 9/11 attacks

U.S. recording artist Tony Bennett said on Howard Stern's Sirius Radio show "we caused" the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks on New York and Washington.

About 3,000 people were killed when Muslim extremists hijacked four commercial airliners and flew two into the World Trade Center and one into the Pentagon. The fourth plane crashed in a Pennsylvania field after the hijackers were overcome by passengers heroically trying to prevent it from being crashed into another target where more people would have been hurt or killed.

"They flew the plane in, but we caused it," the New York Daily News quoted Bennett, 85, as telling Stern Monday night about the attacks. "Because we were bombing them and they told us to stop."

Does anyone have his address? I want to pack up all my records and ship them to him. It was bad enough that he gave his GF herpes and then treated her like dirt, but this is beyond the pale.

So since they committed 17,000 acts around the world in the last ten years, are we responsible for those as well.
The man’s brains have liquefied.

He’s already got your money. He’d probably just re-sale them.

For some older folks the memory is not so good. Apparently that must be the case for Bennett. The US was not “bombing” Afghanistan or Iraq at the time that the terrorists flew the planes into the World Trade Center.

That is the same fellow who not so long ago assured us of the greatness of Amy Winohouse.

The singer also said President George W. Bush privately told him at the Kennedy Center Honors ceremony in 2005 the war in Iraq was a mistake.

yeah...sure he did. (rolling eyes)

We now have a white version of Harry Belafonte, just as old, just as 1950’s, just as senile, and just as moonbatty.

I’m going to put “Because of You” on the turntable and play it backwards.

Age is no excuse. My beloved MIL passed away last year at age 85 and she was sharp as a tack to the end, and had Obama pegged as a sixties radical long before he became POTUS.

Great voice. Prefer Mel. But maybe Tony’s an idiot savant?
