It works so well...
I was pleased to see that New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer had suspended the sale of those awful World Trade Center commemorative coins alleged to be made partially from silver recovered from the ruins of the WTC collapse. Personally, I found it to be crass profiteering, regardless of its source materials, but anyone who would go for it deserves to be taken - a measure of instant justice. Still, if the people selling these were lying about the materials they deserve to be stopped and fined.
What I found most amusing was a quote from the article, which is in turn a quote from the above mentioned Attorney General:
"It is a shameless attempt to profit from a national tragedy," Spitzer said. "This product has been promoted with claims that are false, misleading or unsubstantiated."
Now, is it just me, or isn't this spot-on applicable to the Bush campaign and the marketing of Dubya as the President for a second term?
