Giuliani: 'I Do Remember Sept. 11'
Rachel Slajda | January 8, 2010, 5:53PM

Rudy Giuliani appeared on CNN this afternoon in an attempt to explain what he meant when he claimed that no domestic terrorist attacks happened under President George W. Bush.

"I usually say, 'We had no major domestic attacks under President Bush since September 11,'" he told Wolf Blitzer.

"I did omit the words, 'since September 11,' and I apologize for that," he went on. "I do remember September 11. In fact, Wolf, I remember it every single day and usually, frequently during the day."

[JI7]

1. opportunistic whore, he remembers to never stop trying to profit from it

[HysteryDiagnosis]

13. +1

[stray cat]

2. I wonder if he remembers it fondly since he has used it for years?

[Don Caballero]

3. He is the worst of the worst

I always believed New Yorkers to be sharp and sophisticated but they really fell for this colossal douchebag.

[TheEuclideanOne]

4. I am amazed that they got him to talk about Sept 11.

How did they manage?

On a related note, they should have asked the interviewer why he didn't have Guilliani make the correction during the interview.

[liberal N proud]

5. He can't even lie well

"every single day and usually, frequently during the day"

Every day and frequently during the day? Does that mean that infrequently he doesn't think about 9/11 during the day?

[undeterred]

16. When other men are having sex thoughts about women (or men)

Rudi is having 911 thoughts.

[santamargarita]

6. A classic right-wing lying sonuvabitch

"There's only three things he mentions in a sentence: a noun, a verb and 9/11," Biden said.

[Kerrytravelers]

7. Always count of Rudy "noun-verb-911" Giuliani to talk about... 9/11.

:eyes:

[Doctor_J]

8. "I did lie, Wolf

I lie every single day and usually, frequently during the day."

[catnhatnh]

9. How many bodies ARE in a "major"...

since obviously the anthrax don't count?

[LibertyLover]

10. If he's remembering September 11 that frequently each day some 8 years

after the fact, then he needs to see a therapist and get into counseling.

[Jefferson23]

11. Asshole Giuliani, he never fails at that. n/t

[brentspeak]

REPUBS own 911 and always will.

[Skittles]

17. see, boosh gets a pass for 3000 dead in worst terrorist attack in American history

I detest that logic - it's like saying I'VE BEEN A VIRGIN EVER SINCE THAT HOT SEX I HAD BACK IN SEPTEMBER 2001

[digidigido]

[scarface2004]

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

21. Anthrax

9/18/01
10/9/01

That's 2 attacks.

[deadmessengers]

20. Guess he couldn't remember the shoebomber, either.

Or the anthrax attacks, or the DC sniper, or...

[sabrina 1]

25. Larry King reminded of the Shoebomber

and even then, I think he said it happened before Bush took office. He's a totally despicable individual and it always amazed me that it took the country so long to realize that he was anything but a hero on 9/11. He completely ignored the threat of terrorism despite the 1993 bombing at the WTC until 9/11.

He completely failed to protect NYC from terror attacks and on the day it happened, he wandered around the city dazed, as the command center he foolishly insisted on building on the site of what everyone knew was a potential terrorist target against all advice, was destroyed. Then he spent his time talking to the media. When I saw him that day all I could think of was what an arrogant fool he was and what a failure. It was a total shock to people in NY when the media made a hero out of him. I couldn't believe people around the country knew so little about him that they actually believed it.

[fascisthunter]

22. you should remember 911... you built your career around it, you f*ckin Worm

[bleever]

23. "Thank God George Bush is president", is the quote as I remember it.

Thanks, Rudy.

[TheWatcher]

24. And you seek to profit off it every chance you get.

You're a piece of shit, Ghouliani.

You're a useless, pointless, waste of space who is taking up oxygen that could be used by a legitimate human being.

May you NEVER know a MOMENTS Peace the rest of your pathetic, worthless life.

[Trajan]

26. I recall exactly: We were attacked by terrorists in our own land ...

While the GOP controlled all three branches of government ....

Just after the Texas oil barons in the administration bungled discussions with their friends in the Afghani-Taliban over some silly pipeline, and began an exchange of bellicose threats ...

Just after that same GOP government reduced anti-terrorism spending by some 58 MILLION dollars ...

Just after Numbskull Boosh crumpled an intelligence report stating 'Bin Laden Determined to Strike US' into a ball and tossed it into a wastebasket as he scooted out the door to cut some Waco brush for about a month on the public dime ....

Just after top administration officials begin flying chartered flights, avoiding domestic air carriers ...

Just after the top anti terrorism experts in the country were marginalized and pushed aside in the Bush WH hierarchy in favor of neocon dumbshits and an ostrich-like terrorism policy ...

Yep .. just after all that: Under a GOP president, GOP Congress, GOP controlled Judiciary, and a government bureaucracy infected through and through with extreme right wing GOP Neoconservative philosophies ...

Just after all that: Rudy finally got his 9-11 ...

Ah ... Memories ....

Lucky Bastard ...

[sabrina 1]

27. And there was also Katrina ~

9/11, The Anthrax attacks and The Shoebomber and the loss of a US city.

Then there was the total collapse of the economy by domestic terrorists.

All on Bush's watch ~

Giuliani has always been a liar. He was so thrilled over the prospect of more 'terror', I think he may have done himself in this time.

But then again, maybe not.

[jenmito]

28. Did Wolf ask him what about the anthrax attacks, the DC snipers, etc.?

I bet he didn't.

[Yavin4]

29. He's Like A Comedian or Sitcom Actor Whose Entire Career Is A Catch-Phrase

Even Gary Coleman no longer says, "what you talkin about Willis?".

[DrToast]

30. "I remember it every day when I wake up in my 9/11 pajamas."
