The Issue: Officials bickering over who should attend the tenth 9/11 anniversary ceremony at Ground Zero.

The Post rightfully takes the politicians to task as they trip over their egos while planning this year’s 9/11 memorial service (“Some Dignity, Please,” Editorial, Aug. 18).

After 10 years, the crater that remains in lower Manhattan is a fading symbol of the infamous strike against America and the souls who perished there.

The politicians and Port Authority denigrate the site with their bickering, ineptitude and colliding egos.

The Post’s analogy that the politicos are behaving like children brings to mind a nursery rhyme about all the king’s horses and all the king’s men. J. Norris

It saddens me to see what should be a solemn remembrance degraded into an orgy of politicians looking to exploit the 9/11 anniversary just as President Obama exploited Seal Team 6.

Perhaps they should make a movie about their dignified performance?

Furthermore, why have the first responders been banned from the Ground Zero ceremonies?

What happened to our mottos of “United We Stand” and “Never Forget?”

I have a better idea. We should ban the politicians. Robert Reeg

This is such an insult to the first responders.

Mayor Bloomberg and Govs. Cuomo and Chris Christie were not even in office on 9/11.

Bloomberg has done everything possible to insult the families, including calling off the search for remains. And he’s the one who engineered the open path for the Ground Zero mosque to be built over the objections of New Yorkers and Americans.

The first responders were there, risked their lives and many have died for their efforts. Yet they are told they won’t attend the ceremony while these three scrap over who gets to take a bow.

Let’s throw the bums out and let the real men and women in the room.
