The Deutsche Bank building that burned was abandoned since 911 and wasn't demolished because of concerns about asbestos and toxic chemicals. Well doing nothing seems to have solved itself, in the end. I guess people can feel grateful that it was never dealt with. Who do we blame?
Like so many of his compatriots in his party, Rudy just finds it all but impossible to tell the truth...sure, he can love his Yankees, no problem, but just don't say you spent more time at Ground Zero than the workers who cleaned up site...you will be called out on such a whopper, and Rudy has.
Umm, yeah…
Clearly everything worked out nicely (especially for JP Morgan Chase) while you were running around with Benito’s underwear over your head.

No harm, no foul! You should contact Benito about signing on as his PR advisor.

“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?”

I'm probably going to regret posting this, but I'll go ahead anyway. I was a rescue worker at Ground Zero, and it would have been nice to know that the people that represent our government and our city were there as often as they possibly could have been. I can't articulate why exactly, and I'm sorry for that - articulating much about what happen at that time is still difficult for many people who worked at Ground Zero. I guess the closest I can come is that when something so profoundly awful happens and you are in the midst of it, you want to feel as though everyone has pulled together and are present, especially those who represent the masses. Not for the photo-ops, but simply as another human being, hoping to halve the sorrow.
