I was listening to the radio today and heard this charming story.
Marian Fontana lost her husband, a firefighter, in the World Trade Center collapse. Like many of the families of the victims of that tragedy, she felt Bush was exploiting those deaths for political gain. Nevertheless, against her own best judgement, she accepted an invitation to a White House event.
While at the event, somebody introduced her to President Bush, and explained to the commander-in-chief that she lost her huband on 9/11, which was also their wedding anniversary.
And our President says, and I quote, "Oh, that's terrible. You got the Double Whammy!"
The Double Whammy.
