Former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton spoke solemnly Saturday at the unveiling of the memorial for victims of United Airlines Flight 93. “With their brave decision, they launched the first counteroffensive in the war on terror,” said Bush, who appeared emotional as he spoke near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, to families and friends of those who died in the crash.

U.S. Open Tennis Championship | Cyndi Lauper |Cyndi Lauper National Anthem
Cyndi Lauper messes up national anthem at U.S. Open Tennis Championship
Cyndi Lauper's tribute to 9/11 before the U.S. Open semifinal between Serena Williams and Caroline Wozniacki started out with far greater gravity than you'd expect from the singer of the theme song to "The Goonies." The former pop star called for a moment of silence before breaking into a understated rendition of "The Spar Spangled Banner." It was all going well.
Then she pulled a Christina Aguilera and messed up the words. I'd tell you when the flub comes in but, don't worry, you'll know. (Fine, it's at the 0:48 mark of this video clip.)
The great difference between Cyndi and Christina, besides relevance, is that Cyndi didnot cover her flub very well. If you watched the SuperBowl anthem and didn't know the words, you wouldn't have been able to tell Aguilera botched it. She covered it up like a pro. Lauper, on the other hand, mumbled her way through the line she messed up, like an elementary school student who forgets the lyrics to "Tomorrow."
Let's not be too hard on her for this, namely because the far greater patriotic insult was that Statue of Liberty dress.
