He was with the President, and he served in public office. That's in the line of duty enjough for my opinion. Does he deserve pity? I suppose that's up to you, but telling you that the joke was in bad taste does not make me the 'humor police', it just means that I have a different sense of humor. Judging by others responses, I am ot alone in my sense of humor.

You mean like the $120 billion in Iraq? Besides, if you are as well versed in economics as you come off, you know full well that the econemy was falling before Sept. 11, 2001. It started on it's downward spiraql right after Clinton left the Whitehouse. Kicking the hell out of places for no reason (referring to the weapons of mass destruction BS)is what makes terrorists, not what beats them.
