Rudy Giuliani Takes His “President Of 9/11″ Spin Too Far

12:59 pm EST August 10th, 2007 | News | 4 Comments

Sick little man.

Speaking to reporters in Cincinnati, Giuliani said: "I was at ground zero as often, if not more, than most of the workers. … I was there working with them. I was exposed to exactly the same things they were exposed to. So in that sense, I’m one of them."

Michael Palladino, head of the Detectives Endowment Association, the union of NYPD detectives, told the Associated Press that the mayor’s record can’t compare to those who spent 12 months sifting through toxic debris for evidence and human remains.

"As a result of their hard work, many are sick and injured. The mayor, although he did a fine job with 9/11, I don’t think he rises to the level of being an equal with those men and women who were involved in the rescue, recovery and cleanup," Palladino said.

    I don’t remember Oliver claiming that he was at the site as long as the 9/11 rescue workers.

    Rudy’s apologised. As if that made a difference.
