A BuzzFlash Editorial

With September 11th approaching and the prospect of Bush using the anniversary events to make political gains for his ailing ratings, we thought it would be important to show how Bush has previously used the tragedy of 9-11 to advance his far-right political agenda and, most despicably, to make a quick buck for the GOP.

In May, Bush and the GOP started selling a three-photo collection of Bush's first year in office, which included a photo of "a telephone call from Air Force One to Vice President Cheney the afternoon of September 11."

The Bush spokesman said all three pictures were provided by the media to a commercial photo vendor, Corbis.com, and the GOP committees purchased the photos from the commercial vendor.



Bill Press: Bush puts Sept. 11 up for sale

Is nothing sacred anymore?

Apparently not — now that President Bush has put 9/11 up for sale to Republican donors.

For $150, donors will receive a framed set of three photos of President Bush in action: One, taking the oath of office. Two, addressing a joint session of Congress. Three, aboard Air Force One, talking on the phone to Dick Cheney on the morning of Sept. 11 (and probably asking Cheney's permission to return to Washington). The White House admits that President Bush gave the RNC permission to use all three photos as a pitch for campaign dough.

1. This administration is absolutly disgusting

Bush and his ultra-rich handlers just keep us all in fear by telling us that we must always watch out or we'll be killed by the terrorists. But then he tells us that it's because of him that we haven't been killed by the terrorists. And he likes to call Kerry a flip-flopper?

They can get away with profiteering off of 9/11 but when we want to find out what really fucking happened, we're bashed for politicizing a tragedy??? FUCK THEM!! This is the type of shit that makes me want to storm the White House with pitchforks and torches!!! THIS ASSHOLE MUST BE STOPPED!
