apparantly president bush’s [re-election campaign](http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nyt/20030422/ts_nyt/for_2004__bush_s_aides_plan_late_sprint_for_re_election) is being planned around september 11th of this year to make more people want to vote/pay for him.

so now he’s using something that should be remembered as a horrible attack on our country wherein thousands of civillians died to try and be more bankable. he’s using september 11th to get more money.

yes, politics is all about presentation and timing and image. yes, a lot of new yorkers think favorably of rudy giuliani now because of september 11th. but still. have some tact.

excuse me while i vomit.
