A Cheap, Quick Memorial
Newsweek reports the firefighters in Bush's 9/11-themed campaign ads are actors.* "There's many reasons not to use real firemen," said a Bush media adviser. "Mainly, it's cheaper and quicker." Of course. If that doesn't reassure you that the ads "honor those whose lives were lost," what will?
[This said "actors, " but then someone convinced us we were drunk. So we changed it to "from stock footage," but then we checked on Google . And we were not, it turns out, that drunk.]
UPDATE: Newsweek was drunk. The Bush campaign proved the firefighters were real, apparently. So are they gonna take responsibility for eliminating two new jobs?
