Giuliani: "Remember September 11.............."
Edited on Mon Aug-30-04 06:34 PM by plastic_turkeys
"I remember the days following September 11th when we were no longer Democrats or Republicans, but Americans determined to do all we could to help the victims, to rebuild our city and nation and to disable our enemies.

I remember President Bush coming here on September 14, 2001 and lifting the morale of our rescue workers by talking with them and embracing them and staying with them much longer than originally planned.

In fact, if you promise to keep it just between us so I don’t get in trouble it was my opinion that the Secret Service was concerned about the President remaining so long in that area. (Plastic turkeys: Oh my big brave hero.)

With buildings still unstable, with fires raging below ground of 2000 degrees or more, there was good reason for concern.

Well the President remained there and talked to everyone, the firefighters, the police officers, the healthcare workers, the clergy, but the people who spent the most time with him were our construction workers."

2. A charcoal BBQ gets to 2000 degrees too.
Oh brother, at least this speech will be in the past soon enough, along with the whole hate fest.

My guess is that they won't dwell on anything chimp has done/fail at or what they have in store for the future, they will simply offer vague platitudes about chimp's leadership potential.

4. Oh, the courage of showing up days afterward.
Pity he wasn't capable of being around while things were going on.

9. Exactly - took him 3 f***in' days
Edited on Mon Aug-30-04 06:47 PM by Mad_Dem_X
to show up in NYC. Yeah, a big brave hero. The *real* heroes were the firefighters and police and everyone in NYC on 9/11 who fought to stay alive and to help others. W was nowhere to be found until THREE goddamned days later.

Fuck him! Fuck this whole cowardly, corrupt administration!

10. Cool penguins (and hey Guilani according to Zogby most NY'rs do remember)
I think about September 11th probably everdyay. For me, it is the epitome of the nightmare that I want to awaken from.

Corrupt incompetence that allowed my fellow Americans to be murdered.

The use of that grief and anger to fuel a war that had nothing to do with that day and continues this moment with my fellow Americans (and other innocents that had nothing to do with that day) being killed.

And even if this adminstration was innocent of this crime, I would still want a regime change. It's why marriages end over the death of a child.

I want a new day, one that doesn't have these people's hideous mugs to remind me of their failure and the very horribleness of that day that they have done nothing to heal or salve that wound but only and always to inflame it again and again. In my world and the rest.
