@Setanta,
Yeah, pretty cruddy. What we saw of the ceremony at ground zero seemed quite dignified fortunately. GWB reading Abe Lincoln didn't quite gel (the texas drawl not matching my hollywood-flavoured expectations of how 'Honest Abe' would speak).
Apologies on behalf of Australia for Sam Stosur's apparent disregard for the high esteem in which we hold the ANZUS treaty.
