Desperately needed food, water and generators were being rushed Thursday to Sandy-ravaged Staten Island while local leaders blasted the city’s “idiotic” plan to stage the New York City Marathon in the midst of the crisis. Staten Island Councilman James Oddo urged Mayor Bloomberg to reconsider, especially while rescue efforts are still underway on the hard-hit South Shore. "The notion of diverting even one police officer, one first responder, one asset away from this carnage is beyond irrational,” the Republican lawmaker told The Daily News. "The mayor said to me, 'We're not going to diminish what is happening on Staten Island.' You know what happens on marathons - you put a cop on every corner. How are we going to have enough resources?" RELATED: FOLLOW OUR LIVE COVERAGE OF SANDY'S AFTERMATH The anger expressed by Oddo, who went so far as to blast Sunday’s marathon plans as “idiotic” on his Facebook page, was echoed by another Republican, state Sen. Andrew Lanza. "This is an example of what infuriates us," Lanza said. "We have people still in water, families displaced, people wondering where their grandparents are." Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, a Democrat, said she agrees with Staten Islanders on the marathon. "I'll be seeing the mayor later today," she said. "I'll express my concern." The outrage over the marathon came after Borough President James Molinaro practically begged for help for what locals call the “forgotten borough.” "We have the worst tragedy that's ever happened in Staten Island, and I'd say New York City, since 9/11," said Molinaro. "We need help … We need food, we need clothing, we need everything you can possibly think of." "We have hundred and hundreds of people in shelters. How do we handle them? Where do they go?" Sen. Chuck Schumer said FEMA has already dispatched 10 truckloads of disaster relief supplies and the Caterpillar company has donated 200 badly-needed generators to get the juice back on. "No place suffered worse than Staten Island," Schumer said. "Staten Island bore the brunt of it like almost nobody else and we need the federal government to step up to the plate.” Knocked by the powerful storm into the Stone Age, hungry Staten Islanders were told to gather for free food and water from the city at 3 p.m. at two drop off points: Mill Road and New Dorp Ln., and at an empty lot at Yetman Ave. and Hylan Blvd. Help, however, was hard to find the struggling New Dorp section, where families returning to inspect their home forded through knee deep water with tears in their eyes. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` My God, my sweet God, is THIS the face of true Demotardia in action?
