Just Gets Worse For "America's Mayor"

First the cretin had to apologize, maybe sort of, for comparing himself to the Trade Center responders and lying about how much time he spent at the demolition site.

"(AP) 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."

Now it turns out, after some actual journalism done by the New York Times, that Time Person of the Year Rudy found plenty of spare moments after 9/11 to munch popcorn and swill Ballantines at Yankees games rather than do his job:

"What was he doing instead? Giuliani's beloved New York Yankees made it to the World Series in 2001. We decided to compare the time he spent on baseball to the time he spent at the ruins of the World Trade Center.
The results were, considering the mayor's long-standing devotion to the Bronx Bombers, unsurprising. By our count, Giuliani spent about 58 hours at Yankees games or flying to them in the 40 days between Sept. 25 and Nov. 4, roughly twice as long as he spent at ground zero in the 90 days between Sept. 17 and Dec. 16. By his own standard, Giuliani was one of the Yankees more than he was one of the rescue workers."


And I really don't want to hear that crap about maintaining a stiff upper lip and going about the usual business and setting an example and all the rest of that shit. The work that needed to be done to actually help the people of New York was neglected while this opportunistic wretch bonked his numerous bimbos and schemed how to prosper from the tragedy, which the lowlife is doing to this very day.
