Unlike every other politician? Bush? Clinton? Or are you just irked that he doesn't hide it better?

It's called rhetoric. Are you and AG REALLY offended. Please. You both have tougher skin than that.

I think Atticus was annoyed because he thought you were talking about him. I took it as unthinking hyperbole about Democrats in general, but not about anyone in particular, and so I thought it was more unthinking than offensive. Surely you know that many of us were deeply affected by 9/11, and so suggesting that we did not take it seriously is beyond the pale. You call it rhetoric, but either you meant it or you didn't, and if you didn't mean it it was a dumb thing to say. Some of us lost people, and all of us -- Republican or Democrat -- felt the loss.
