Did I Mention That I Was America’s Mayor on 9/11?
November 20th, 2007
This from Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post:
Rudy Giuliani is trumpeting his leadership in the wake of 9/11 in campaign mailings to voters in Iowa and New Hampshire.In one piece, Giuliani is hailed as “America’s Mayor” who displayed “Strength through Leadership.”
While Giuliani’s supporters have long boasted about his performance after the attacks, he himself had not, until now, mentioned it as prominently.

Of course, by “now,” the writer means, “the 21st century.” Giuliani mentions 9/11 every chance he gets. So much so, that for him, the words “nine-eleven” almost become a space-filler, like saying, “um” or “ah” while you’re trying to think of what to say next. Think Progress points this out, adding a quote from a Democratic candidate which sums it up very well:
Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE) said that there are “only three things he [Giuliani] mentions in a sentence: A noun and a verb and 9/11.”
Of course, we can all blame the liberal media for this one.
Yep, Rudy’s been singin’ the 9/11 song almost as much as Dubya has.
