'Post' Takes Dump On Alexander Hamilton's Grave
So what's going on in the world? Incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi backed the wrong horse in a leadership election, a decision that could have potentially devastating effects on the Democrats' tenure as the majority party. France moved a step closer to electing its first female president. And New York's top court may revive the death penalty here in the state. All of that pales, however, before the Post EXCLUSIVE that made the cover of today's paper: Some dude pissed on a grave. Gather 'round children, and hear the tale of Brooklyn resident Itomor Khaimov, who was out for a walk with his dog near his grandmother's final resting place.
As he approached the gravesite, he saw something ghastly James Scott, 80, was relieving himself in a vase on Khanukhova's grave, the Brooklyn man said. Incredulous, Khaimov shouted, "What the f- - - are you doing?" at Scott, who was holding a rake. "He said, 'I'm urinating,' and didn't stop," Khaimov told The Post yesterday.
You know, you don't get to be the nation's fifth largest paper for no reason. It's stories like this that make us embrace the oncoming age of illiteracy. We're off to buy a Playstation 3.
