6. And what did the candidates have to say?

John Kerry, campaigning in North Carolina, said, “I think that the first thing that every American wants to say today is how deeply we each feel the loss, how much this means to all of us as Americans, the sacrifice that we feel on a very personal level.”

George W. Bush, who gave several campaign speeches in Missouri Tuesday afternoon, did not mention the 1,000 deaths in his remarks.

Putting things into context ...

George W. Bush: "... That's the interesting thing about being the President ... I don't feel like I owe anybody an explanation." ... from Bush at War by Bob Woodward.

7. *Sigh*

I really thought the media would give more than a passing notice to 1,000 American deaths. How can anyone say the media is Liberal?
