Bush-Bashing 9/11 Widow Is Hillary Clinton's SOTU Guest
Bush-bashing 9/11 widow Monica Gabrielle will be Sen. Hillary Clinton's special guest tonight during President Bush's State of the Union address. Mrs. Clinton's spokesman told the New York Daily News that the senator invited Gabrielle to recognize her push for security improvements and for more information about the attacks - but also to remind Bush of challenges that still face New York. But others see the invite as a way of sticking it to the president, who frequently alludes to the 9/11 attacks during is annual address to the nation. "Let's see if we get some truth," a hostile-sounding Gabrielle told the News. In the past, the 9/11 widow has accused Bush of exploiting the attacks for political purposes, calling the move "despicable."

"If he wants to show a picture of 9/11 depicting what he was doing [during the attacks], it should be a picture of him sitting and reading in a classroom to school children. That's where he was on 9/11." Gabrielle told the News that she wants to listen to Bush's speech tonight before she makes any further comment.
