Edwards Slams ‘Mr. 9/11′ updated
Rudy has no shame. He’ll use 9/11 to get elected if it’s the last thing he does.
Video via
Greg Sargent. Quote below compliments of Mr. Tone Deaf:
“This is not a mayor or a governor or a president who’s sitting in an
ivory tower,” he said. “I was at ground zero as often, if not more,
than most of the workers. I was there working with them. I was there guiding
things. I was there bringing people there. But I was exposed to exactly the
same things they were exposed to. So in that sense, I’m one of them.”
– Rudy Giuliani
And the hits just keep on comin’. Got the statement below via the Edwards campaign:
“Evidently, Rudy Giuliani has taken a break from reality. It is outrageous
for Giuliani to suggest, in any way, shape or form, that he did more at ground
zero or spent more time there than the brave first responders who worked tirelessly
around the clock for many months during the rescue and recovery operation.
It seems that Giuliani is determined to take every opportunity to exploit
the memory of 9/11 for political gain, rather than honor the incredible sacrifices
of our first responders. Enough is enough.“Mayor Giuliani should start answering the serious questions of why firefighters
and other first responders didn’t have proper equipment and support. The 9/11
Commission and National Institute of Standards & Technology reports have
documented the failures of the broken radio communications system, a splintered
chain of command and an unprepared Office of Emergency Management under his
watch as mayor. These are the questions he needs to answer.”
The thing that is really astounding is that Rudy thinks he can’t be touched on 9/11. That with all this time left he can skate through the election as Bush’s heir apparent to the Mr. 9/11 title. Seriously out of touch doesn’t begin to describe it.
If you haven’t read the Village Voice article yet, get busy.
UPDATE: Ru-roh! Rudy flip flops.
