Back in 2004, as one George was seeking election, another George organized a gaudy ceremony at the World Trade Center site. Flags were flown, songs sung, and a multi-ton piece of granite was laid in place to be the cornerstone of the new Freedom Tower.
Of course it was too good to be true, since republicans all seem to adhere to the FEMA school of competency.
The New York Times reports that the cornerstone was returned to its quarry today, with no return date set. Completion is presently estimated for 2011.
Nice work, Georges.
