The White House respectfully disagrees with a victims' group and a firefighters' union that say the Bush commercials invoking September 11 were manipulative and cheap. "My gut instinct after seeing that television ad was, this is a political party stepping on my brother's grave,'' says Rita Lasar, a 72-year-old woman who lost her much younger brother in the north tower. This uproar seems to have caught the White House by surprise, and I look forward to watching Bush discover a whole mess of issues this year to respectfully disagree with normal Americans on.
