Speaking at Queens College commencement exercises, New York State Comptroller Alan Hevesi suffered a classic Bush Derangement Syndrome Slip (BDSS): NY Dem: Put ‘Bullet Between Bush’s Eyes’. (Hat tip: LGF readers.)

In an outrageous remark that has at least one Republican calling for his resignation, New York State Comptroller Alan Hevesi said Thursday that a fellow New York Democrat would “put a bullet between the president’s eyes if he could get away with it.”

Introducing Sen. Charles Schumer at commencement exercises at New York City’s Queens College, Hevesi began:

“The man who, how do I phrase this diplomatically, who will put a bullet between the president’s eyes if he could get away with it. The toughest senator, the best representative. A great, great member of the Congress of the United States.”

Hours later, Hevesi was forced to issue an apology.
