Attn Bush: Calling it "September The Eleventh" does sound "educated".

[aden_nak]

It irks me every time he says that. . . as though he's talkin' like one'ah them fancypants learnin' guys that used to teach those class-things he went to at Yale. Er, Harvard. Er, Yale. Whatever. Beerland.

1. He always says.. "September the eleventh, two thousand one"

Like we don't know what 9/11 he's talking about.

[aden_nak]

2. The next time he says that, someone needs to respond:

"Two thousand and one? So we've missed bin Laden for FOUR years now?"

3. Or 2001? How long did you agree to allow him to roam freely in your

terra deal?

[aden_nak]

4. Well, that's MORE truth than you're going to get from the media.

[lonestarnot]

6. If I was a reporter, I would ask dat!

[aden_nak]

8. Then I hope you like getting regular visits from these guys.

[lonestarnot]

9. Ah bullshit! They would like for us to believe this. I have not

heard of one instance!

[Kurovski]

5. There is a faction of right-wingers

who blather on about how saying 9/11 is somehow disrespectful, and should be framed in a more lofty manner.

I remember reading a lot of LTTE where these folks went on at length.

I think Bush is toadying up to those folks. It's funny how RWers think they never attempt to enforce political correctness.

9/11, it is what it is.

7. It's the "signature accomplishment" of his presidency

in more ways than one, so he probably figures he can call it whatever he damn well pleases.

10. I once listened to the chimp start to call it...

"The September 11th" once and since they have changed the wording.

"The" indicates a different thought proccess from the rest of america about 9-11. I have never heard another person say it this way.
