"$9.11 for Rudy" was in poor taste.:

It is beyond poor taste!

Anger at Giuliani 9/11 fundraiser
Rudy Giuliani

Mr Giuliani is accused of exploiting 9/11 for his presidential candidacy
Republican presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani has been criticised over a fundraising party at which participants are being urged to donate $9.11.

The International Association of Fire Fighters accuses him of exploiting the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks.

Mr Giuliani rose to national prominence as New York's mayor on 9/11.

The Giuliani campaign says it did not plan the event, which is due to take place on Wednesday evening in California at the home of a supporter.

Nevertheless, the firefighters association said the stated theme of the fundraiser - "$9.11 for Rudy" was in poor taste.

2. Poor taste is all Rudy
has exhibited when it comes to using 9-11 to further
his political career. The only political figure in the
US that has used 9-11 to their political benefit is the
chimp boy in the White House.
Rudy is crass and has no class.

3. Keep it up Rudi!
While among the least likely of the leading 'Licans to win the General, he is also the most dangerous we could put in the White House. Think Heinrich Himmler . . .

My Pollyanna side says Americans generally (as opposed to the political junkies who inhabit this site -- or even rightwing political junkies who inhabit other sites) can smell a rotting fish when it's shoved in their faces.

Let's hope.
