Murdoch-Owned NY Post Claims Murdoch-Owned Giuliani “Had Not, Until Now, Mentioned [9/11] as Prominently”

2008-07-09T14:03:14Z

The blogosphere is getting a good chortle at an article in today’s Murdoch-owned New York Post where writer Carl Campanile apparently has made the startling discovery that FOX Nuts’ Official Presidential Candidate has recently been mentioning some day in mid-September. I can’t remember the date — it was sometime after the tenth, as I recall.

As TPMtv’s video illustrates, it’d be easy to miss the fact that Rudy has mentioned 9/11 incessantly — if you hadn’t heard anything Rudy's said since 9/11. Guess Campanile also hadn’t heard that Rudy wants to be president of 9/11, will possibly divorce his third wife and marry 9/11, and that he is, according to FOX, Mr. 9/11.

Rudy's Love Letter To NY Firefighters

2008-03-22T21:54:41Z

What to do when you're Rudy Giuliani, and you know you're responsible for, at the very least, a gross act of negligence that contributed to the untimely deaths of 121 firefighters in the North Tower of the World Trade Center on 9/11?

Well, you ignore and lie about it for six years, for starters. But then when the firefighters' union and Brave New Films decide to expose your role in this tragedy with fact-based films, you write a love letter worthy of something you might have put together for your second wife while still married to your first wife. Or maybe it was your third wife when still married to your second wife.

I always get that mixed up.

Here is Rudy, on his hands and knees, hoping to stave off an inevitable investigation into his no-bid contract for radios that didn't work and were never field tested, the magical inflation of said contract by a factor of ten, and his ignoring the fact that the original radios, in many cases, DIDN'T WORK from 1994 (when he was sworn in as mayor) until 2001.

November 5, 2007 -- Rudy Giuliani has sent out a letter thanking cops and firefighters for risking their lives - and insisting he would be the president to help prepare them for future terrorist attacks.
"Firefighters and police officers have been my heroes since I was a little boy. I've had the honor of working alongside them during my career in law enforcement and elected office," he said in a "Dear Friend" note to public-safety officers.
The letter seeks to counter criticism Giuliani has faced from New York firefighters-union leaders and 9/11 family advocates who accuse the former mayor of doing a poor job of planning for such a disaster.

Isn't that cute. When he was a little boy he idolized firefighters and cops. Like every boy under the age of 12. Most, however, didn't grow up to ignore and imperil their safety.

Too bad a few nice words don't make the firefighters forget what he did to them:

The Giuliani letter doesn't change anything, said FDNY Deputy Chief James Riches.
"It's great he's starting to prepare us now. He didn't prepare us in 2001. He ignored all the warnings from the first 1993 attack at the World Trade Center," said Riches, whose firefighter son, James, was killed at Ground Zero.

That just about sums it up.

Saw this one coming a mile away....

Matthews' "Criminality" Comment: NYPost Op-Ed
Today's NYPost opinion page follows up on Chris Matthews' comments Thursday night at the Hardball 10th anniversary party, asking:
"...why should any Republican candidate expect fairness from Matthews now? More to the point, why should potential voters expect Matthews to treat the candidates' views fairly?
Matthews and Maria Bartiromo are moderating a GOP debate Tuesday that will be seen first on CNBC and later on MSNBC. The Op-Ed continues:
NBC needs to replace him as a debate moderator immediately. The job - by definition - requires an attempt to display objectivity going into an event.
Yes, the distinction between "objective journalist" and "opinion-maker" in recent years has been blurred to the point where they're nearly indistinguishable. But Matthews' comments obliterated any possible distinction.

The video is of Neil Cavuto yesterday on Faux railing on Matthews for the same thing. And like the good little lapdog they are, NYP jumped right on it this morning with their copy of the RNC emergency memo in hand.

How much do you want to bet that this is the topic du jour on Faux and their satellite radion shows?
