Those Republicans have this wonderful tendency to be AWOL when danger is present. With the exception of McCain, who never saw the people he killed from the air, they are all so brilliant at avoiding danger and discomfort. Romney was converting French catholics into Mormons in France during the Vietnam war. Bush was doing whatever in Texas and then Alabama during Vietnam and flying around the country when the terrorists struck on 9/11(he just has this uncanny ability to stay away from physical danger danger), Guiliani was attending Yankee games while pretending to be at ground zero. The cardinal of NY was in the Vatican, Whittman was far away from the east coast. Not wanting to be exposed to the toxins and share the burden had nothing to do with it of course.
