*Breaking** Giuliani campaign to hold bake sale!
Edited on Tue Sep-25-07 10:31 AM by npincus
Featuring 9-11 shaped cookies (for 9 cents and 11 cents, respectively) and Twin Tower muffins coated in powdered sugar (reminiscent of the dust covering lower Manhattan on 9-11).

Top fundraisers will attend a Giuliani campaign Bar-b-cue featuring food items charred beyond recognition, much like the Ground Zero artifacts of 9-11 9-11 9-11, and 9-11.

9-11 9-11 9-11 9-11. New Giuliani campaign slogan: "9-11: Not just YOUR tragedy; it sells like hotcakes!"

WASHINGTON — A supporter of Rudy Giuliani's is throwing a party that aims to raise $9.11 per person for the Republican's presidential campaign.

Abraham Sofaer is having a fundraiser at his Palo Alto, Calif., home on Wednesday, when Giuliani backers across the country are participating in the campaign's national house party night.

But Sofaer said he had nothing to do with the "$9.11 for Rudy" theme.

"There are some young people who came up with it," Sofaer said when reached by telephone Monday evening. He referred other questions to Giuliani's campaign.

2. I don't see any reference to the Onion
Which is surprising because there's no way this is real, right?

3. Vote for Rudy. 'Cause nobody exploits 9/11 better than he does.

4. They're throwing in a few variations of chili, I heard, rated by "hotness"
Level 1: "Burning Jet Fuel"

Level 2: "Hot Enough to Melt Steel"

Level 3: "My Soul In Eternal Damnation"

6. Please tell me this is satire
This can't actually be true. For the friends and family members of the victims of 9/11, please let this be a fake story.

7. Unfortunately, it's true. Granted, it's "supposedly" not Giuliani's doing, but a campaign supporter
However, I don't see him doing anything to address it, therefore letting it stand. What a jagoff.

14. sorry GS
Edited on Tue Sep-25-07 10:18 AM by npincus
this is my personal fury and revulsion vented as satire. The fact that this may be perceived as possibly being true shows how the perversion/exploitation of our national tragedy has been mainstreamed by amoral ghouls like Giuliani, Champion of 9-11 exploitation.

on edit: Huffpo article is TRUE.

17. Sadly, it's real - see article
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070925/ap_po/giuliani_house_party

I'm sure it will be canceled after the media attention but the tastelessness will never fade.

9. Did anybody mention he's been overseas, getting $ from oilmen?p[;-----[]
They're Americans, so it's legal. But it's interesting that he went to that group.

18. At the Faux Newz debate he specifically promised to not cash in on 9/11
So he's a liar too. Not that that's surprising, at all.
