You have to admit, he's right-- running from the carnage of a 110-story building crashing behind you is slightly scarier than running from the carnage of your $50 million campaign imploding behind you.

"It's only a flesh wound, I've had worse!"

Sorry to break this to you Mr. 9/11, but 9/12 is coming fast. I can't wait for that day and when this fascist freak is on a beach in florida with the rest of his retired ny paisanos.

that time Rudy! couldn't get it up? It's nothing like 9/11.

The man has transcended even self-parody.

This is hilarious. Giuliani has become his own caricature... I would expect this from an SNL skit. Check out Campaign Diaries's detailed analysis of the post-iowa GOP race.

That's a good one liam. Tooooo funny.

As in "Wag the Dog", Stanley Motss saying, "This is nothing. You think this is something? This is nothing."

Shii, the Rudy myth is really out of control. But you can bet your last dollar he didn't run from a falling building on 9-11. He'd sure like to have people think he did but it didn't happen.

U

Hey!! I could have been at that command post boinkin my lady friend.

And if you don't think that's scary...

Please Please Please

I am very serious about this request

Would someone please tell me what Rudy Guliani did on 9-11 that he is wanting credit for.

If you can please go into some detail.

Thankyou

Blowout loss, noun, verb, 9/11.

Still on script.

Okay, instead of the Tourette's quote, how about...

Rudy has a 9/11 priapism.

rj, the daily show and the colbert report is going back on air on the 7th.

Without the writers though since they couldn't sign a deal with WGA the same was as Letterman did.

And if Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert both are members of the WGA, which they most probably are, then they can't write for their own shows either, or they would be scabs like Leno...

Also, I doubt any pro union politicians would be ok crossing the picket line.

So I'm not sure what the new shows will be like...

I lived in downtown NYC before, during and after 9/11, and the main thing Rudy did was act as a 'face,' like a comforting newscaster.

Operationally, his pre 9/11 decisions were horrible, including the lack of decent communications devices for the firefighters (despite having years to fix this known issue), and Rudy's decision to place the command center inside the WTC complex.

The only 'halo' effect for Rudy during that time was that he was perceived as being competent only in comparison to the Shrub in Chief.

9/11 Tourette's, kinda like Clinton Tourette's for the blame Clinton crowd.

Hmm. Am I onto something? Is a quarter of our country really that mentally ill?

I pretty much watched the news and they all seemed to say Rudy did the right thing.
I will try to find some information on the radios. I just recently got a computer in the house and my granddaughter is teaching me how to use it. And one of my friends told me that the blogs were fun.
I live alone and always depended on
tv, but it is nice to talk to people who seem to know a lot about politics. Some of my friends at the coffee shop are talking a lot about Obama so I might switch to him even though I have always been republican.
Thankyou for your help.
Cynthia

I've been thinking of filing a civil lawsuit against Bush for giving me Tourettes. Every time I hear his voice I involuntarily let loose a string of expletives......

a noun, a verb, and 911

Biden should be president

Rudy needs to tattoo 9/11 (or outlines of the two buildings for the illiterate voters he appeals to) on his forehead. He can then just point to it instead of talking about it. In fact, he'll never have to speak again - just point!

+- IconDaemon -+

The more that Rudy uses his 9/11 schtick, the more people see that many politicians on the right are like broken down talking dolls...

Bush:
- Fight them over there so we don't have to fight them over here.
- You're either with us or you're with the terrorists.
- Nucular

Rudy:
- 9/11
- 9/11
- 9/11

Clinton:
- HAHAHAHAHAHA
- HAHAHAHAHAHA
- HAHAHAHAHAHA

(she might not be officially on the right but I consider her to be as bad)

The time for change is NOT now, the time for change was a long time ago but now would be better then never. Edwards is the man to bring the proper changes needed.

Hi

I just used the google to read about the radios that Rudy did or did not purchase-
a little confusing,
and do not understand why I did not hear about it on the tv news.
I do not know how to find reliable information on google but I hope in time I will learn.
I am excited to use these blogs to help figure out who to vote for as I think this is a very important election and I do enjoy the conversation. I did vote for George Bush but am very dissapointed in him.
Thankeyou Bob and all

Cynthia

strange that both greg sargent @ tpm and alex koppelman @ salon's war room BOTH posted this quote at exactly the same time (11:34) from a ny daily news article posted at 01:01. neither acknowledging the other.

cynthia. the main stream media isn't gonna tell you that rudi is a putz

the radios are only the tip of the iceberg

look up where rudy located the Police Emergency Command center

in 1993, a commission sturying the first attack on the world trade center reccommennded that the police emergency command center should be located in a bunker in Brooklyn

rudy choose to locate the police emergency command center IN THE WORLD TRADE CENTER

a bunker in Brooklyn might have been safer, but rudt wanted an apartment where he could spend time with his mistress, and Brooklyn was too far away for rudy's little love nest

Belzer said it best

THE REASON RUDY WAS WALKING AROUND MANHATTAN ON 9-11 IS BECAUSE THE FUCKING IDIOT DIDN'T HAVE AN EMERGENCY COMMAND CENTER TO GO TO

IT WAS DESTROYED IN THE ATTACK, JUST LIKE THE 1993 REPORT SAID IT WOULD BE DESTROYED

still think rudy is a "hero" ???

He's only saying it to undermine the writer's strike. With "straight" news like this, Leno doesn't need anyone to write jokes.

To answer Michael, I agree with Dave Bowman and the other New Yorkers. On 9/11 Rudy struck just the right tone of providing information and being soothing. We sure weren't getting it from Bush.

If you recall Bush was nowhere to be seen, and a la Katrina, he didn't come to New York, had no plans to come to New York (in the days that followed) until he was literally shamed into coming to New York because the country was looking more at Rudy at the national figure than at the president.

And then, when Bush comes to New York, purely, purely by a stroke of fate, one fireman yells out "I can't hear you" and Bush gets his iconic moment at Ground Zero as this powerful leader of the people who is going to go get the bad guys. History is rewritten in that moment for Bush.

I don’t live in NY, so all I know of Rudy is from the tube. He DID appear to be a voice of calm in an unparalleled event no one was prepared for. i.e., he did his job. I preform minimum job requirements every day, but that doesn’t make me heroic nor qualify me for the Presidency (nor even for a raise) – it simply lets me keep my job. Granted, give the man his due for his efforts, but don’t give him more than he’s qualified for. Regarding what he may have done wrong, I cannot comment except to say in such an overwhelming situation, no one could perform flawlessly. Yeah, to a non-New Yorker like me, the guy seemed to rise to the occasion and acted like a mayor should. However, the Presidency is more than a reward for simply doing your job in a particular situation.

As for the Grinning Chimp megalomaniac, Patricia in NYC is right – Rudy was getting way too much national attention.

What with many delusional/crazy candidates out there I wonder why we are not seeing Britney Spears make a run for the Oval Office...

"Yeah, to a non-New Yorker like me, the guy seemed to rise to the occasion and acted like a mayor should."

Funny thing: Rudy's popularity seems to be proportional to how far away from NY someone lives. The farther away, the more he seems to be liked.

U

Cynthia, visit some of the excellent blogs that go way beyond the MSM (main stream meadi) in reporting. My favorite is www.crooksandliars.com

Rudy is a one issue candidate and that is the reason he finished 6th with only 3% of the vote in Iowa. Plus Iowa is socially very conservative (Huckabee won because he is evangelical !) and they don't like Rudi's 3-time-married, history of affairs, lifestyle out there.

Rudi will drop out at the end of the month. Good riddance. Next.

Cynthia:

You came to a great web site. Also check out:

www.buzzflash.com

and

www.truthout.org

for news you won't get from the major propaganda outlets like NY Times and CNN (forget FOX, they are beyond hopeless).

I read NY Times and CNN several times each everyday, but I know how to read between the lines (and the lies) to get credible information from them. It's a skill you can develop.

Welcome to the Internet, the last bastion of truth and democracy.

Another useful piece of reporting on Rudy G can be found in the documentary, "Rudyland".

Check it out...a very entertaining profile of a very unstable guy. Not a bad crimefighter from time to time, but by no means a leader of nations.

THIS is f*ckin' FUNNY:

Don't feel sorry for her, Sandy. Before that happens he will cheat on her publicly and wreck his marriage, as he did twice before. She will be able to take her share of his millions and find a guy who looks like a human being, not a zombie.

Wait until Judy realizes that she's not going to be First Lady, and she has to live with an old Italian man with prostrate trouble, a bad toupee and horrible teeth who everyone in New York, if not the rest of the country, hates. Now THAT's going to be scarier than 9/11.

But she's running neck and neck with Mrs. Hucklebee who thinks it would be "So Cool" to be first lady and living in the White House! Can you imagine either of these women representing America - compared to Obama and Edward's wives??

"Now their tactics seem to be to create such a harassment which will be very diffcult to prove to be a crime.

Actually I have been under a threat to loose my life during last 3 weeks,but situation has been made so that nothing can be proven to be a crime, and if I would have died it would have been understood as an accident.

Last days I have been harassed all the time (DE CHIKANERER MIG HELE TIDEN)- and ultimate attack against me was done with the help of NORDEA -bank(NORDEA=CIA -bank?).
I had paid my rent already 3 weeks ago- but now I was sent a letter which told that company has not received my payment from NORDEA and therefore I have only 3 days time to pay again my rent.Letter was sent 2 days ago...so I had propably only one day left.
I paid it immediately- and NORDEA-bank promised to deliver money immediately to company which has rented me an apartment.(In Copenhagen 90% of people live in rented apartments).(2005-2006 Nordea MÅSKE TOG 10000 kroner AF MINE PENGE.OG JEG VAR NØD AT FLYTTE, FORDI HUSEJEREN KUNNE IKKE SE AT JEG HAVDE BETALT min husleje.NORDEA maybe took 10000 crowns of my money already 2005-2006,and I had to move.[Bud
