I suppose if you consider taking a dump to be an emergancy and something you think more people should be involved with than yourself, go right ahead.

Perhaps it's not McCain's fault that mentioning 9/11 has taken on such a bullsh!ters context, but it has ... and he has to live with that. Mention it, especially as a politician, and you will be rightly suspected as a fearmonger and excusenik.

I get upset when they play the 9/11 thing so heavily. The cartoons about it being used as an excuse or explanation or distraction are pretty well on, in my opinion. Yeah, we get it, 9/11 was bad, lots of things happened, shut up already.

It feels a bit like they have no real reasons for whatever they're doing, so let's remember when we were all afraid.

I think using 9/11 like they do is insulting and degrading to those who lost their lives on on that day.

Pfft, not to mention really badly insulting to the roughly 4,000 Americans who lost their lives in Iraq using 9/11 as an excuse, the roughly same amount of innocent Afghans who lost their lives using 9/11 as an excuse, and the roughly 700,000 innocent Iraqis who lost their lives using 9/11 as an excuse.

Hell is not big enough to contain the likes of Bush, Cheney and their cohorts and minions.

That's why they've taken up residence in Washington, D.C.

TOTAL AGREEMENT HERE.

Leo, come on, you gotta be kidding me. This isn't 9/11, and the comparison is gross and offensive on many levels. You want to talk about knee-jerk reactions?

Sigh. Please, God and assorted deities and non-deities, tell me that the majority of this country is seeing the ugliness that I'm seeing.

In all honesty, this isn't the great depression either, with unemployment of 30% etc, etc, etc, but I keep hearing the comparisons. Even now at 6.1% most countries - even European countries - would love to have our unemployment rate.

I still don't get it. But that's OK. I don't have to. And you don't have to understand me.

McCain skipped Letterman. Letterman calls him on it.

Watch the whole thing. Don't skip the beginning, because Letterman says very nice things about him....and later on, at about 7 min, he shows that McCain isn't racing to DC.
