"stale"...

NOT a word I would ever have thought could be applied to the events of 9/11.

Most Americans, of all political stripes, would agree that in the frantic days after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, George Bush's steely leadership and deft tone helped stabilize a nation . . .

True enough. I also remember Congressional 'Rats accusing him of cowardice for closing down domestic air travel while he took command of the situation aboard Air Force One.
