Today on ABC's This Week, host George Stephanopoulos pushed former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani on why the radios for the 9/11 firefighters didn't work. Giuliani dodged the question, claiming that it would have been "impossible" to have given them working radios:

STEPHANOPOULOS: They make two main charges. Number one, that those firefighters in the north tower, many of them lost their lives because their radios didn't work. They also say you ended the recovery efforts too soon.

It would have been impossible to get the firefighters operational equipment, but there was no problem finding the funding to chauffeur his whore around town.

You see, it is all about priorities.

I bet he could cash in some of his 9/11 derived personal fortune and buy every NYC firemen and police officer state of the art communications equipment in a week.

And perhaps show these folks he actually cares about them.

But he won't because he's too greedy and stupid.

After all the suffering and deaths which his incompetence contributed to, one would expect a man with even the smallest shred of decency to hold his hand up and admit he failed the fallen heroes of 9/11.

Instead we get weasel words with which he attempts to wash his hands of responsibility!

Just go away Rudy, you offend the familiy circles of the fallen and the nation as a whole!

Rudy has not taken any responsibility for what happened in his New York. Those who died 9/11 on the job for him deserve for him to do at least that. That crime was going down as he took office he would never admit. That those police/firefighters deserved someone who would watch their backs and give them the best equipement available when they needed it. He allowed no bids and was too busy greasing his palms and sleeping with his mistress to pay attention to the people who deserved it the most. Like he was playing mafia boss he even had the mistress. Except for the mistress sounds like bush...cheney.

It's time to forget about Rudy. He's roadkill. Nosediving in the polls. Shtupgate, Bernie, and Father Placa have not played well anywhere in the country and the more folks learn about Rudy, the lower his standing goes. Now Romney is making his move. With his unlimited bucks, superior organization, strategic thinking, and the growing support of the R establishment that he was born into, Mitt will be the nominee.
To better understand him:
Mitt's Medical Issues to Blame
From the Journal of the American College of Neurosurgeons blog:
"We understand that Mitt's "misstatements" may all be a result of a medical operation Governor Romney had about a year and half ago. To get rid of the gnawing inside, he went into Mayo Clinc for a ethiclotomy. That's the surgical procedure, very popular with a certain class of businessman, where they make a micro incision behind the ear and into the brain then vacuum out the little organ where the conscience and courage reside. But as is all too typical with this class of patients, the surgeons couldn't find the damn thing. I've heard through the medical grapevine that they didn't want to lose their fees--they're businesspeople after all!--so they just sucked something else out. Some suspect it was his heart." Neurosurgeon in Dallas
"The theory in our Neurosurgery Department is that the damage occured while the whole family was going through their annual "Stepford" renewal treatment last spring. This is the suite of medical procedures that ensures perfect children and spouses, a very fat wallet, great teeth, and a very WASPy attitude. We've heard that during one of the surgeries, the last tiny vestige of Mitt's soul may have been removed by mistake. Mitt's soul had atrophied to the point that the technicians thought it was just a large pimple on his buttocks. When the doctors were out of the room, one of the custodians, probably an illegal immigrant, apparently popped it. So there you have it!" Cedars of Lebanon Hospital, Detroit
Jesus is Our Savior! No New Taxes! Protect Our Borders! Merry Christmas! Go Mitt!!!!!

What is he leaving out of his phrase?

"It would have been impossible" on that budget
"It would have been impossible" for a scumbag like me

Others?

Rudy - we were thrilled to get rid of you in NY, even if you were willing to 'sacrifice' yourself and remain in office.......

Why not go back to making money off of a variety of questionable clients and spare the rest of the country the 'benefits' (exactly what WERE those?) of your 'leadership'

Besides, you'll be due for another wife in about 4 years - it'll be less embarassing to pull that off if not in the public eye....

That is right Rudi. Giving the 9/11 firefighters working radios would have been impossible. These firefighters were marked for death so that the administration can use their deaths as a stepping stone to mindless world agression. If they had working radios and they made it out alive then you could not whip the public into a frenzy by beating the drums of war.

So, between 1993 and 2007, there was no ability to provide radios?
To know Rudy is to hate him. What a pandering scum!
