Lt. AWOL, Meet pResident Shameless

Bush to visit Sept. 11 memorial next week, but, of course, the REAL purpose of the visit is: what else--$$$$:

Bush plans to tour the memorial Thursday in Long Island's Nassau County, one of the city's suburbs, prior to attending a re-election fund-raiser that night in East Meadow, N.Y.

I'm waiting for Bush to claim he was present in New York on September 11th--whereupon Scott McClellan will produce a pay stub indicating our Commander in Chief received compensation for the two week period ending Friday, September 7th, ending the controversy in the eyes of the media...
