(CBS/AP) Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani said on Wednesday that his campaign would not accept any contributions in the denomination of $9.11.

On his way to a house party in New Jersey, the candidate was addressing criticism over a California house party fundraiser where attendees were asked for $9.11 per person, saying the decision to do so was "unfortunate."

CBS News reporter Ryan Corsaro reports Giuliani said his campaign put a block on his system to not accept such contributions.

"I think they made a mistake," Giuliani said.

3. will he accept $18.22 instead?

hes so frickin full of shit.
Were too dumb to know that all those people will pool that money
nine dollars and eleven cents at a time and send it directly to his campaign
and he'll accept every penny.
unless of course they come up with nine hundred and eleven dollars which he'll
promptly send back right?

4. I'm sure it was unfortunate ...

but since the total from that event was more than $9.11, I'm sure he'll be gladly accepting it.

11. There's a story about $9.11

People say that I was offered $9.11. But I would not accept the offer of $9.11. To Accept $9.11 would be against my beliefs. People should not offer $9.11.

Etc.

12. I'm sorely tempted to send him a check for $9.11 and see if it gets cashed.

But I don't want my name on his mailing list.

13. Oh, please.

All of a sudden, he DOESN'T want the chance to associate his name with 9/11?

[brentspeak]

14. I can picture Rudy's vanity license plates: "9-11"

[MODemocrat]

15. He knows it was not a mistake

911 is all Giuliani has; he had to know what his campaign was doing. I wouldn't trust him on anything. He's sure not a hero like he wants us to believe. :evilgrin: :puke:

16. Bwah.....he wants it rounded up to $10.00

[jmowreader]

17. Fine. Send him a FAR more appropriate amount. Send him $9.10

On 9/10 Rudy was a universally-despised lame-duck mayor. On 9/11 he was America's Mayor and the Public Face of Post-9/11 Revival.
