Bush Will Run On 9-11....You Expected Something Else?
Big shocker here...The first major ads of Bush's re-election campaign feature footage of, you guessed it, 9-11. This understandably has several families of 9-11 victims upset:
"It's a slap in the face of the murders of 3,000 people," Monica Gabrielle, whose husband died in the twin towers, told the New York Daily News for its Thursday editions. "It is unconscionable."
"It's as sick as people who stole things out of the place," said Firefighter Tommy Fee of Queens Rescue Squad 270. "The image of firefighters at ground zero should not be used for this stuff, for politics."
"I would be less offended if he showed a picture of himself in front of the Statue of Liberty," said Tom Roger, whose daughter perished on American Airlines Flight 11. "But to show the horror of 9/11 in the background, that's just some advertising agency's attempt to grab people by the throat."
Way to continue to raise the bar, President Bush...
Here's a good synopsis of Bush's "It's Not My Fault" campaign.
