I've Got A Message For You, Rudy

I know the election is almost two years away, and you are probably sick of hearing about all the candidates already, both the officially announced and the ones who have "formed exploratory committees." But I just have one quick little observation.

Of all the candidates out there lining up and lying to the American people about everything they can, from Mit Romney's daily changing story about how he feels about abortion and gay marriage (as well as his big lie about how big the budget deficit was in Massachusetts when he took over) to John McCain's always changing views on, well, everything, and calling it "straight talk."

But there is one way that we as a country could prove ourselves to be a stupid people and completely delusional.

We elect Rudy Giuliani as president.

I am so sick of this guy being called "America's Mayor." His whole image is based on looking kind of tough during the attacks on the World Trade Center, and it seems to cloud people's ability to remember the truth about Rudy. He was leaving office a disgrace before September 11, 2001. From his deplorable defense of cops who committed horrible acts of brutality against innocent minorities to his to having his mistress live with him at Gracie Mansion while he was still married, his legacy as mayor of this city was one of failure. He was going to be lucky to even find a job after he left office.

But then some crazy fuckers crashed planes into some buildings, and it was a whole new ballgame.

And Giuliani couldn't be happier about it. It was the best thing that ever happened to him, and now he has the gall to run for president.

It would just be another step on the ladder he has climbed built on the backs of 3000 dead innocent people. He makes me sick.

Years before the planes crashed in to the towers, New York built a new commend center for their emergency response. Giuliani was told by his police chief and security experts not to put it anywhere near a high-profile target like the World Trade Center. so where did he put it? On the 23rd floor of 7 World Trade Center. Rudy was also told for years that the radios used my first responders were inadequate and needed to be updated. They knew this because of the problems they had with them when the towers were attacked the first time in 1993. He did nothing to make sure that the police and fire departments had working radios. He was way too busy making sure that cops were properly harassing people in minority neighborhoods.

It is quite possible that a lot more people died on that day than had to because of this idiot's blunders. So what does he do now? He runs a few security consulting firms. Oh, and goes around the country making speeches and raking in millions of dollars.

He has turned thousands of families' personal tragedies in to a major personal gain for himself. And he doesn't seem to feel even a twinge of guilt about that. Shame on you, Rudy. So many people thought the worst thing you would ever do was marry your cousin. Boy, did they underestimate you or what?

He must get down on his knees everyday and thank his god for 9/11. It is the best thing that ever happened to him. And he has not hesitated to take full advantage of it.

If we reward him for it, what does that say about us?
