Bush just can't help himself!

Back in 2002 the President announced:

"I have no ambition whatsoever to use this as a political issue."

If you were still holding on to the idea that this is the truth, you can let go now. we are now 3 weeks into the President's first ad campaign using the images of 9/11 as a selling point for his re-election. in this case, he pitches himself while images of a fire fighter's flag-draped stretcher is carried out of Ground Zero. nice.

"WAIT!" you say. sad as it is, that's news and you can't expect the president to avoid talking about the real issues of the day? right?
Okey Doke. So, it turns out this scene was actually filmed using ACTORS. so does it get a disclaimer saying "No real vitims were used in the exploitation of this tragedy"?

Oh, but wait. there's more. Bush attends the Groundbreaking for the 9/11 memorial site THEN held a $1.6 million campaign fundraiser at the very same park that very same day.

You have to wonder how it feels to try to ride into office on the backs of the dead.
