If you want to talk about hypocrisy, how about the fact that when John Edwards criticized the Bush campaign for exploiting 9-11, a Bush campaign spokesman said "I can't believe he said that. They are playing politics with a national tragedy." Give me a break.
It's not the fact that Bush is talking about 9-11 that bothers me and most other people. It's the fact that he's trying to exploit it for purely political reasons in a campaign ad. That's cheap and shameful and I would say the exact same thing if it was coming from the other side of the aisle.
