Arizona Memorial Or Insult?

If this doesn't piss you off you are probably reading the wrong blog. If that is what passes for a memorial in Arizona, I feel sorry for the people that live there. And unbelievably, the Governor of Arizona likes it!

There are a ton of pics at Hot Air.

And Curt at Flopping Aces has been following the controversy closely.

***UPDATED***: It seems that the same commission that authorized this thing in the first place is taking another look at it. From Hot Air:

A state commission that authorized placement of the Arizona 9-11 Memorial in Wesley Bolin Plaza will review controversial laser-cut inscriptions “and see if some of them could be removed,” the panel’s chairman said Wednesday.

Former state Sen. Tom Smith, chairman of the Legislative Governmental Mall Commission, also said the commission hadn’t made it a practice to review the wording of any memorials. “We sure as heck will do it in the future,” he told The Associated Press in an interview…

“The Capital Mall Commission is responsible for the placement of the memorials that go into Wesley Bolin Plaza. Therefore I think we have not only the responsibility but we have the authority to make any changes if something’s happened that’s inappropriate.”…
Smith said Wednesday it never occurred to him during the February meeting to check on details of the inscriptions’ wording.

“We never thought anything would be inappropriate,” he said. “It didn’t sound like there would be anything controversial.”

Smith also said he didn’t think his commission was misled. “No, I think we could have been naive."

And the backpedaling begins.
