DNC Forgets 9/11
While the nation remembers 9/11, the official DNC webpage is curiously lacking any mention to remembering 9/11 and the victims of that day. The DNC blog is curiously silent about 9/11. The DNC press page lacks any official press release by the DNC Chairman remembering the victims.
Meanwhile, the RNC has not forgotten. Ken Mehlman has an official press release remembering 9/11, and the GOP blog has President Bush's remarks from the 9/11 Medal of Valor ceremony.
Screenshots of both the RNC Home Page and the DNC Home Page, taken at 12:50 pm.
GOP Bloggers also noticed...
UPDATE 1:30 PM The DNC webpage finally posts remarks by Chairman Dean... riddled with politicization of today's anniversary.
Unfortunately, when the skies cleared, the catastrophe was just beginning. In addition to the painful reminders about poverty that the storm uncovered, it also uncovered frightening questions as to whether or not our nation is adequately prepared to handle the aftermath of a large scale incident. Too many questions remain as to why, despite the experience of mobilizing a large-scale relief and recovery effort after 9/11, the federal government struggled to assist in evacuation and search-and-rescue efforts, and the flow of food, bottled water and other desperately needed supplies were bogged down in a tangled mess of red tape."Sadly, the federal government's lack of preparation followed by its inept response had deadly consequences for far too many Americans in Katrina's path. Today is a day not just to remember the violence of four years ago. It's also a day to remember the lessons of that terrible day and our promise that we won't ever let it happen again. The American people are counting on their leaders in Washington, DC to do better.

Tom:
For a commie you are rather silent, except for the sarcasm.
Imagine this, goes back away, Billy Jeff, getting a Lewinsky, he goes all the way, at the hight of orgasm, he screams, "Get Osama", as he spatters his Jizz on the blue dress.
Matty Halfbright and Socks the Cat order all the Osama's in the world executed in the invasion of Finnland, his last known address.
I could have been a contenda, a hero, a someone.

The metric of patriotism is who can invoke tragedy most publicly?
Shame.
