Dan Froomkin in The Washington Post puts out the BEST daily page detailing coverage of Bush and what's swirling about the White House. You should read it EVERY day. Today's page includes a lot of info about what Bush did at the memorial ceremony yesterday.:
Newsday columnist Lawrence C. Levy describes this scene at yesterday's groundbreaking for a Long Island memorial to the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks:
"After turning over the first shovel of dirt, Bush walked toward the families at the ceremony. Perhaps drawn to the large portrait of a young firefighter that she carried, Bush first sought out Pat Kiefer, whose son Michael perished at the World Trade Center.
"Bush didn't know that Mrs. Kiefer held him responsible for her son's death. 'I don't have any problems with the ads,' she later told me, referring to footage of Ground Zero in Bush's commercial. 'He's trying to show he was there after the attack, and he was, but I'll never forgive him for not doing something before it happened.'
"But as the police bagpipers played Amazing Grace, she recounted that the most powerful man in the world put his arm around her shoulder and looked into her eyes as they talked about her son's love of firefighting. 'He's a handsome boy,' Bush said before moving on to the next survivor. 'It's obvious where he got his looks.'
"Bush, she said, made her giggle and blush. She never told him what was on her mind."
