The September 11 attacks placed all kinds of characters—some sinister, some sympathetic—in the public eye, both making careers and ending others.

You ever go to a party and there is that one person who seems to piss off absolutely everyone he talks to? He doesn't stop talking, he just goes from group to group looking to start fights and get as much negative attention as he can muster?
