8. Have the first responders go in to take it while you fly around in Air Force One

trying to shake imaginary terrorists off your tail. Then, when the coast is clear, take credit for answering the 3AM phone call.


Disclaimer: I am a New Yorker who was in Manhattan when the planes hit. I am so unfuckingbelievably pissed off over Bush's cowardice-- I remember hearing a classmate announcing his news alerts he was getting from his pager about some new locale Bush was flying to instead of to NYC-- I'll never forget and I'll never forgive him for it.
