From Department of What Were They Thinking: The politicians of Washington Township, New Jersey thought it would be a swell idea to have a marker honoring the victims of 9/11.

But the design mostly seems to honor the politicians who thought it would be a swell idea to have a marker honoring the victims of 9/11.

"I mean, how freaking narcissistic can you be?" Dennis Ryan, a retired cop in town, said on Tuesday.

Mayor Samir Elbassiouny told the Lehigh Valley News earlier this week he did not understand why the stone's inscription was an issue.
