It was a T-shirt in a ted Rall cartoon and it captured the sentiment perfectly for me. Thank you for this from another fed-up New Yorker.
You just reminded me of a call to C-Span I heard during our August 29 protest: "I find it ironic that they are in NYC and they are not at ground Zero, but protesting W, while I, miles away, I support him"

Yup. Why are we New Yorkers doing anything else but standing in front of ground Zero, worshipping W?
Dang irony!

Whitehouse.org captured this well in their speech for W accepting nomination:


"Now you'd think that the people who actually live in New York City – which remains the number one target for terrorists – would join us, their red state countrymen, in our glorious orgy of eternal Dockers-soiling paranoia. You'd think that they too would be so paralyzed by fear, they would continuously worship at the temple of my steely squint, and hunger for the Jesus-ordained privilege to cast their ballots for Bush/Cheney '04. And yet, for reasons I will never understand, I stand as good a chance of winning this city as Trent Lott does taking top honors at the Apollo Theatre amateur night.
