Beep to FMCP: Drop Dead!

Parkland be damned, Queens Borough President Helen Marshall is practically tripping over herself to lure the Jets to Queens. That’s the football Jets, not the thousands of airplanes that take off from and land at the borough’s two major airports.

But we digress. Let it be said that quotes like this tend to bite one in the ass. Like, ouch:

Queens Borough President Helen Marshall wants the Jets to come to Queens and she doesn’t mind sacking one of her own parks to make the point.

Mayor Bloomberg said giving up city parkland to build a stadium would be a tough decision; Marshall said no one would miss the swath of Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in question.

“I went to the site,” said Marshall, who represented the area around the park during her years in the City Council and the state Assembly. “This is the Fountains of the something or other. It is really now just a big, big pool of stagnant water, with garbage thrown in.”

Marshall was talking about the Fountain of the Planets, a once-grand, 6-acre water display built for the 1964-65 world’s fair.

God, what a bitch! Leave that poor park alone already!
