Rename the Betty Torricelli Institute!
Real Life (tm) | October 3, 2002 | Ziva

Posted on 10/03/2002 3:49:09 PM PDT by Ziva

I was getting my annual mammogram at the Hackensack University Medical Center today. The office was now called the "Betty Torricelli Institute for Breast Care." Her name had to have been added sometime during the last year because I know it had never been there before.

I made a VERY large point to their management and public relations people at how odious it was to honor the criminal Senator, even if it was actually his mother. They acknowledged that the Torch had not paid money for this honor (as is customary for named buildings.)

The p.r. person told me that many people complained about the name during the last few days, and there was going to be a management meeting to deal with this issue.


TOPICS: Culture/Society; Government; Politics/Elections; US: New Jersey
KEYWORDS: betty; breast; election; gulla; hackensack; hypocracy; mammogram; nj; senator; torricelli; tortelini
Anyone who needs a mammogram will find excellent service at this office. Kathy is is the technician I always use, as she is well skilled and friendly to our interests. The phone number for the Institute is (201)996-2222.

You are wrong, I heard the Torch himself say he built it with his very hands and pay for it out of his own pocket</sarcasim off>

Can you imagine the slap in the face to Torricelli if they strip this building of his mother's name?!?

Exactly! It is bad enough that he is escaping without jail, with his stolen goods. This is a small step towards justice, but we'll have to take what we can get. I wonder if other people would also be interested in removing the name of the criminal Senator, too.

This is easy to add to all New Jersey threads. Cut out

The obvious name-change would have to be:
The Bill Clinton Institute for Breast Care

He's been know to do more than "stare".
The way he sees it, his gropings fall under
the noble banner of "Breast Care".

It seems the hospital received a favor from Torricelli the gangster, I wonder what it was.
