The Mayor of 9/10


Will two weeks of media bravado finally be defeated by eight years of feckless administration?


I find that I have less and less ability to believe the general population 'won't get fooled again' but, I guess it doesn't hurt to feign hope:

Giuliani's 9/11 Image In Jeopardy


Coupled with losing the endorsement of 9/11 Commission Chair Tom Kean to Sen. John McCain yesterday, the Newsday finds that Rudy Giuliani's "image as 9/11 mayor took a double hit" yesterday as New York firefighters and families of victims of the terrorist attacks took their campaign against him to New Hampshire for the first time.


The AP reports that the New York firefighters, including two who lost sons in the terrorist attacks, held a meeting at Dartmouth College, accusing Giuliani "of politicizing the firefighters' deaths by making his post-9/11 leadership the centerpiece of his presidential campaign."


Two firefighters said Giuliani "ignored recommendations to equip firefighters with radios that would have allowed them to communicate with police and to set up a unified command center so both departments could share decision-making during big emergencies. Both men lost sons at the trade center."
