    why does spending a lot of

    extra time at the 9/11 rescue site qualify a politician to be president? After one or two inspirational visits, get the hell out of the way. More than that is just self promotion-and the article shows how Rudy turned that into $millions for him and his minions. Now he's trying to turn it into being president. To me, in the midwest, thats a sign of low charactor and untrustworthiness, to put it mildly and politely.
