Misadministration goes off the deep end
Par-tay! In what may be the epitome of bad taste ideas, the Bushies are planning a huge celebration on the anniversary of the September 11th attacks.

The Pentagon will hold a massive march and country music concert to mark the fourth anniversary of 9/11, Donald Rumsfeld said in an unusual announcement tucked into an Iraq war briefing yesterday.

The news also reignited debate and anger over linking Sept. 11 with the war in Iraq.

"That piece of it is disturbing since we all know now there was no connection," said Iraq veteran Paul Rieckhoff.

Rieckhoff suggested the event was an ill-conceived publicity stunt . "I think it's clear that their public opinion polls are in the toilet," he said.

Though Rumsfeld's walk had some relatives of 9/11 victims fuming, misadministration supporters insisted Rumsfeld was right to link Iraq and 9/11, and hold the rally.

Good grief.
