Giuliani: I misspoke about ground zero (transparent political fraud)
----------
Republican presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani said Friday that he misspoke when he said he spent as much time, if not more, at ground zero exposed to the same health risks as workers combing the site after the Sept. 11 attacks.

"I think I could have said it better," he told nationally syndicated radio host Mike Gallagher. "You know, what I was saying was, 'I'm there with you.'"

The former New York mayor upset some firefighters and police officers when he said Thursday in Cincinnati that he was at ground zero "as often, if not more, than most of the workers."
-----------

later that same story:

-----------
"He is such a liar, because the only time he was down there was for photo ops with celebrities, with politicians, with diplomats," said deputy fire chief Jimmy Riches, who spent months digging for his firefighter son

1. "I think I could have said it better,"
So Rudy, you don't have breathing problems, asbestos in your lungs,
and or pulmonary degradation?

means that his campaign will soon be wheezing, and starving for oxygen.

Then, when all the attention is focused on the surviving candidates and Rudy's been left gasping at the curb, no one will really care.

One exception: Rudy will have health care, and millions of dollars made from the "America's Mayor" franchise, and live longer than the other, less mayoral folks. His survivors will be taken care of.

2. No no no, he's not trying to suck the glory-juice out of your suffering;
he's proving once again about how much he sacrifices to make your lives better!

Look at the poor guy, and the burn-rate on his spouses.

THAT is real caring.


You have his word.

But Rudy did say as people were leaping to their deaths from the W.T.C.s
"Thank God George Bush is President."

The man is scum.

5. He's just a friggin' repuke liar who gets off on using and abusing
other, heroic type people, thinking they'll never notice, be to uncomfortable to complain, or that he can come up with a slick lie to cover and nobody dares call him on his shit, especially no republicans. (They'd lose their best hope of electing another moral, family values village idiot for president.)

I expect the political junkie republickers would take ghouliani because they see him as "electable," with his previous more liberal stands on some issues rendering him more acceptable to dems, and giving the publickers a little dleam of more predation and blood.
