Bush's 9-11 Photo Profiteering

A BUZZFLASH EDITORIAL
September 6, 2002
With September 11th approaching and the prospect of Bush using the anniversary events to make political gains for his ailing ratings, we thought it would be important to show how Bush has previously used the tragedy of 9-11 to advance his far-right political agenda and, most despicably, to make a quick buck for the GOP.

In May, Bush and the GOP started selling a three-photo collection of Bush's first year in office, which included a photo of "a telephone call from Air Force One to Vice President Cheney the afternoon of September 11."

http://www.buzzflash.com/editorial/2002/09/06_Bush_911.html

Besides the fact that the photos are mislabeled (the second photo is "Bush speaking to Congress on Feb. 27, 2001, well before the Sept. 11 attacks") and misleading (the 9-11 photo gives the impression that Bush was in charge, when we know he finished reading his children's book -- even after the second tower was attacked -- and then ran away from D.C. like a scared chicken), it took the Democrats to rightfully call this kind of fund-raising what is was: "troubling," "grotesque," and the "cynical use of a photo of that period."

2. I want a picture of him reading the children's book and sitting in
class as out nation was under attack. That one image will remain with me the rest of my life. It is a symbol of what the repukes did about 9/11.

6. Sometimes I wonder if
Cheney, et al, had told him to expect something, but not the details (keep him ignorant, gee ... what a stretch). Then, when he found out what happened, he was sort of shocked that they'd gone that far. "They tole me 'bouda Pearl Harbor event, but wow, thassa big one!" And that would explain him sitting on his ass for 20 minutes in the classroom.

7. about that photo...he already knew flight 11 crashed into WT1
this after a summer of threats,warnings from 12 countries, warnings from PDB's,yet he sat on his ass while innocent people jumped to their deaths. Then had the audacity to sit 25 more minutes after flight 175 crashed into WT2.
To top that off he had the gall to claim "HE DIDN'T KNOW" who crashed those jets. then went to hide out as per instructions from the real president dickwad cheney.

sad day in world history.

10. "They pulled it off, but we're running a little ahead of schedule."
"Give us a few minutes to get back on track, then I'll come and get you."
