Really? Amazing. I guess I was in such shock over the events it didn't register. So it is a common nomenclature in politics? Like every single time certain politicians speak of us common rabble, we are "folks"?

Yeah, in referring to the terrorists...who "knocked these buildings down." Knocked down these buildings? Like they were building blocks on a playground? Bush's words at that particular moment have always struck me as odd, almost cringing.
