Bush purposefully EXCLUDES 9/11 families from signing bill

[Bluebear]

Evidently, this is HIS disaster, dammit, and he isn't cottoning to those mouthy families ruining his day.

Family members of Sept. 11 victims are unhappy they were not invited to Friday’s signing ceremony for legislation implementing recommendations of the commission that investigated the terrorist attacks.

Lawmakers who steered the measure through Congress will be on hand for the White House event, but expressed concern that family members who lobbied for the legislation will be absent.

“We would very much like to be by the president’s side as he shows his support by putting his signature on the bill,” said Carie Lemack, president of Families of Sept. 11. Her mother, Judy Larocque, was killed when the hijacked American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the World Trade Center.

Joseph I. Lieberman, D (sic)-Conn., chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, appealed unsuccessfully to the White House on Thursday for a last-minute invitation to family members, according to Leslie Phillips, a spokeswoman for the senator.

He has used them and now he is done with them. Didn't anyone send them the memo? Let me guess. Nobody recalls...

4. Gee, Holy Joe......

you'd think after the number of times you've fellated your pal Bush he'd listen to you. NOT! I don't think Holy Joe has yet learned that it's all a one-way street with Bush. This is all about George Bush, not some namby-pamby people who's loved ones were killed in the terrorist act he let happen.

Maybe Holy Joe will finally learn that his soul mate is merely using him for his own selfish agenda? Naaah....Holy Joe will continue to stroke Bush's dick and gaze into his dreamy eyes. :puke:
