The quote of the year award goes – envelope please – to…Paul Krugman!
“What happened after 9/11 — and I think even people on the right know this, whether they admit it or not — was deeply shameful. [The] atrocity should have been a unifying event, but instead it became a wedge issue. Fake heroes like Bernie Kerik, Rudy Giuliani, and, yes, George W. Bush raced to cash in on the horror. And then the attack was used to justify an unrelated war the neo-cons wanted to fight, for all the wrong reasons....The memory of 9/11 has been irrevocably poisoned; it has become an occasion for shame. And in its heart, the nation knows it.”Read on to discover what TV-news talking heads, politicians and has-been actors think of you, Mr. and Mrs. America!

"… security forces would dress up like New York *STORM* troopers from the 1940s."
