    Check out the running time!

    Did anybody notice that the running time on this video is about 7 minutes? Roughly the same amount of time that Bush sat in that classroom after being informed that the towers were hit on 9/11?

    No, I'm not creating a new conspiracy theory. It's just that after watching Bush make odd faces in this painfully long video, it's a vivid reminder that 7 minutes practically feels like an eternity - and yet that's exactly how long our president sat in his chair in that classroom, doing absolutely nothing while NY was under attack.

    Just an observation.
