I heard today that, for the first time since 2002, New York is not having any "elected officials"
at the memorial on 9/11/2012.
And just wait ... you will hear some Republican vomiter pointing out that "Obama would not go to the 9/11 memorial!"
(but Mitt isn't an "elected official" right now, so he gets a free pass, right?)
