Looks like the Washington monument got some pretty good cracks in it's
walls on this one....

I would not doubt the cracks were already there and the quake just shook
them loose.

But not sure I would want to be too close to it when she goes.

Some better picks and details.

If it is all Bush's fault, then how come Obama is doing much more of the

Those are some pretty good shots , of course there has been cracks in
it for some time, but nothing of structure to cause panic, but I think
this will get someones attention. With some federal funding and a
bunch of corporate and private donations, I imagine it will be
repaired better than new. It worked for the Statue of Liberty.

I have to wonder if some honest engineer is gonna' look at the cracks in
those big blocks and say, "it can't be made safe"... I am not saying it
can't, but with such big cracks, in such significant structural
components, I have to wonder.
