Let's not even get into the 9/11 brouhaha and how Bush did nothing to try to prevent it (the FBI and the CIA did their jobs. Bush was determined to take his hundredth vacation in the 6-7 months since his coronation, the working people in the World Trade Center towers be damned). Let's talk about how the FBI and CIA warned him of young men wanting to steer airplanes, not fly them, in flight schools and how he continued to shovel cow shit on his ranch rather than deal with it. Let's talk about how he continued to (attempt to) read to those Florida school kids when a Secret Service agent whispered in his ear what was happening. In the time he finished that story, the other plane hit the second tower, it was an hour before he even got on TV and commented on the situation, THEN instead of being a man and going to the White House (like Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother did, staying at Buckingham Palace in London during the worst bombing of WW2), he hid like the little boy that he is while the rest of us were biting our nails, hoping and praying we wouldn't be next. I always thought it was cowardly of Bush to abandon his job as President while he went to hide. WE KNOW, if Clinton had behaved that way, we'd hear about it every day as though it were the crime of the century.
