6. There are SOOOOOO many things which should have been brought

up during the campaign, but weren't. This one surely should have been, IMHO. Utterly inappropriate to joke about that horrible day.

4. he's said it at least 12 or 13 times - it's SOOOO funny, don'cha know?

from whitehouse.gov

11/28/2001 - Mitch Daniels, in speech at National Press Club, say that Bush said it to him shortly after Sept. 11.
Feb 27, 2002 - Bush at GOP luncheon in NC:
You know, I was campaigning in Chicago and somebody asked me, is there ever any time where the budget might have to go into deficit? I said only if we were at war or had a national emergency or were in recession. (Laughter.) Little did I realize we'd get the trifecta. (Laughter.) But we're fine.

Yeah, George, it's so abso-fuckin-lutely hilarious that thousands of people were pulverized on Sept. 11th.

He says the *most* insensitive things. Like pointing out his little boo-boo on his forehead to wounded soldiers the other day.

GAAAAHHHHHH.

5. Sept. 11 was his Reichstag fire.

Oh, BTW, there is (or was) video somewhere on the net of him making the trifecta comment, and the audience laughing.
No time to look for it rght now, gotta run.
