From Talking Points Memo:

Rudy Giuliani took to the airwaves this morning pounding on Obama for not using the word "terrorism" and for not mentioning the Flight 253 incident -- except, well, Obama did in both instances.

Through the wonderful magic of modern video recording, we bring you what Rudy claims Obama said and what Obama actually did say.

Why are still here Rudy?

1. Giuliani, the man who failed to protect NYC from terrorism because

back then, before it happened, he claimed NYers had nothing to worry to worry about, it was the 'safest city in the world' so people should just go there and spend money.

He also stupidly and against all advice, built NYC's command center right in the WTC building 7 despite the well known fact, to everyone except Giuliani, that the WTC was a terrorist target.

He also refused to properly outfit first responders with equipment that worked, because of politics and money.

This man should never be allowed to speak about terrorism. I'm still waiting for some reporter to ask what the 9/11 Commission failed to do and the 9/11 families wanted to ask, 'why he ignored the threat of terrorism' before 9/11'.

His interest in it now is 'for profit'. The man who failed a city, now runs a security company and his constant references to '9/11, 9/11, 9/11' have become comical. He is a despicable man and I can only be grateful that his phony act is not as convincing as it used to be.

The NYCFD blames him, and rightly so, for the tragic deaths of several hundred of their members. Those deaths occurred because their faulty equipment wasn't working that day and they never got the order to evacuate. And they are not the only ones.

Every time he shows his face on television talking about 'terrorism' there should be an interview with someone from the NYCFD there also and a member of one of the victims' families. I am sick to death of this phony, failure being invited to talk about a subject he should have been investigated for.

5. Worst thing for me...

not that Ghouliani is out there spewing big fat lies, We'll always have jackasses around. The most infuriating thing for me is that Winken Blinken and Nod there in the Fakes Newsroom clearly didn't challenge one word he said, and that there are far too fucking many Americans out there who actually believe they are newspersons and their network tells them the truth! I'm not all that sure that any of the "news" persons in this country would have challenged him, either.

"A Republic, Madam, if you can keep it."

Is there no cure for the STUPID? We're sunk if there isn't.

if the President wont work with him to spread the fear.... well, then what's a cross dresser to do?

9. Hey Giuliani

I want to see what it would be like if you decided to tell the truth for once...That would be truly a great day.
