You. Are. Stupid.

Correction: You. Were. Stupid:

A 25-year-old from Georgia who was distraught over President Bush's re-election apparently killed himself at ground zero.

Andrew Veal's body was found Saturday morning inside the off-limits area of the former World Trade Center site....

Veal's mother said her son was upset about the result of the presidential election and had driven to New York, Gus Danese, president of the Port Authority Police Benevolent Association, told The New York Times in Sunday's editions.

A brilliant plan*, except he failed to consider that now there is one less vote for the Democrats to get in 2008.

Moving to Canada or Cuba or somesuch would probably have been a better solution (and with much less blood and guts sprayed all over the WTC site). He may have thought he was doing something symbolic, but I don't see much of a comparison between taking your own life and being one of 3000 victims of the worst terrorist attack in our history.

Self-important much?
