  • Giuliani reminds me of Laura Bush

    Laura Bush's infamous Today Show appearance of April 25, 2007 comes to mind -- when asked by Ann Curry about Iraq, THIS was the First Lady's astonishing response:

    "No one suffers more than their president and I do."

    Yeah, sure. Whatever eases your conscience and gets you through the days and LONG nights.

  • Rudy Rudy Rudy

    I can't read anything about Rudy without thinking of the Onion Headline "Rudy Guiliani Runs for President of 9/11" out of my head...he's a one trick pony. The problem is, he's going to give the flyovers who are still wearing NYPD baseball hats and have plastic decals of the World Trade Center on their Yukons a chance to vote for him...and they will, in droves.

  • No, you're not

    Dear Rudy,

    You don't look like you could lift anything but a gin and tonic.

    Sincerely,

    e.m.

  • All Hail Rudy -- King of the First Responders

    Of course he spent a lot of time at Ground Zero. Since his "command center" was part of the rubble, where else was he gonna go? And if photo-op's count as "work" then I guess ol' Rudy was working -- he just kept forgetting to bring his pick and shovel. Of course, he was a lot more interested in getting Wall Street back up and running than he was in the quality of the air that all those people were breathing, but when you're America's mayor I guess you've just got to sacrifice the health of a few hundred people for the good of all those investors who wanted to hear Dow Jones' opening bell.

    Open mouth, change feet, Mr. Giuliani. You're not just insulting all of the people who are now paying the price for those hours and days spent breathing in poison, you're also insulting the intelligence of millions of Americans who know perfectly well that you've spent the last 6-1/2 years exploiting 9/11 and that you expect to exploit it all the way into the White House. Dream on, ass hat. The more you flap your mouth, the more people see you for the crass piece of garbage that you really are.

  • Preposterous

    "I was at Ground Zero as often [as], if not more than, most of the workers," Giuliani told reporters in Ohio Thursday.

    Why would Giuliani make such a claim? Besides the fact that it's patently and provably false, it doesnt even make any sense.

    Why would we want a mayor to be spending long days sifting through rubble? That's not a mayor's job. If he actually had done what he claims, he would have been doing an awful job as mayor.

    Bizarre.

  • This Begs Mentions of the Man with the Bullhorn

    Seems Rudy is trying to strike that same "heroic, Presidential" pose recently mentioned in War Room (that of someone bellowing orders at the actual workers)... and just about succeeding.

    Somebody please carve the statue of these two already and let's let the pigeons get busy.

  • Yeah

    But George used a bullhorn to spread his BS.

  • Rudy the Recycler

    Yes, Rudy was at Ground Zero constantly, having all the steel from the Twin Towers shipped to Asia as fast as he could so that the fire engineers could never examine it. In spite of an editorial in the Fire Engineers magazine saying that the destruction and removal of evidence must cease immediately. It didn't cease. Rudy just ignored the engineers who were absolutely shocked at how he and others obstructed their every effort to examine that steel which had cracked every 30 metres, oh so conveniently, into the perfect length to fit on the back of a truck. Ground Zero was a crime scene and Rudy was certainly behaving strangely. Anyone with a suspicious mind would think he didn't want the fire engineers to find out how and why the Twin Towers came down. The fire engineers were not only obstructed, some of them were threatened, in line with the general pattern of obstruction and concealment that was the hallmark of everything that went on in the aftermath of 9/11. If I were him I would change the subject: he doesn't seem to understand that a lot of people are on to him and his colleagues.

  • Oh, he was there,

    it's just that he was cross-dressed at the time. I think he gave that up when his pink pumps kept getting body parts stuck to the heels. Google it...
