Mugged by the Thugs
One of the most despicable, hypocritical actions of the Rethug minority in the Senate has been to block funding for aid to 9-11 first responders. It was more important for these thugs to get the tax cuts for their wealthy benefactors than helping the firefighters and emergency workers who became sick in the aftermath of 9-11. As Jon Stewart notes, this should mark the end of the Rethugs' cynical use of 9-11 as a political tool.
