  Et tu, Nita?

  "No, Garry...he doesn't deserve a break."

  For the love of pete! Read my letter again. Where in the world does it say that Il Duce deserves a break? Where was that even implied?

  Nita, Nita, Nita. I'll give you a break this time for possibly skimming my letter and judging in haste. But honestly! I prefaced the whole letter and then reiterated that I have no love for Giuliani.

  Now as for Kweberlit's idiotic reply, I am under no restriction of friendship to be even a little bit nice:

  He said that I missed the point. Gah! and sweet love of Jesus! How much more clear would I have to make myself? Go for bold type? Kwe-less writes:

  "The point is that GIULIANI CLAIMED to have spent as much time at ground zero as the rescue workers, which is total self-aggrandizing baloney. Clinton made no such claim."

  Look, you choad. I wrote this:

  " he was a fool for saying he spent so much time at GZ that he felt like one of the recovery and cleanup workers (The rescue itself being over long before)."

  You missed that? How about this:

  "Aside from Il Duce trying to make some cheap political point with his lie, ..."

  You missed that too?

  And you say that I missed the point? You are missing the cognitive ability to read and understand simple English.

  Would anybody care to weigh in on my question:

  What useful work could he (or any other politician) have done to make a difference down in that smoking hole in the months following the collapse? A highly visible public figure who needs security protection, like Il Duce, or Hillary, or any politician, is only going to halt or limit the recovery effort while they prance around in front of cameras. They really have no business down there other than a photo op. Neither one of them could lift as much as a 25 lb. chunk of concrete. What do you expect them to do there?

  Chris Swart got it right. It was so easy for him to read my letter and understand what I wrote. I would expect nothing less from other readers, especially my friends here.

  C'mon! If anybody needs a break around here, it's me!
