Last night, former mayor Rudy Giuliani had his NYC fundraiser at the Sheraton. The theme was baseball, and guests paid $2,300-a-plate to eat Crackerjack, ice cream and hot dogs. (Maybe there were other things; the entire menu was not disclosed.) The Post reports that Giuliani stood before a faux-Yankee Stadium backdrop and said, "I think we make a mistake when we call it the war on terror, because it is their war on us... I have come face to face with America's soul, and I have been sustained by it - I got through Sept. 11 not because of me, but because of other people."
Dennis Miller was the emcee and he had choice words for Democrats: "When you watch morons like Nancy Pelosi and David Obey of Wisconsin discussing our pullout from Iraq, the other day, they make like eight errors in four seconds." Ooh, baseball analogy!
The Daily News said Judith Giuliani's speech was rambling, and luckily, the NY Sun has video of her speech. Apparently she said stuff about how she and Rudy "started our team together" and how being "Judith Giuliani" gets people to do stuff, like volunteer or donate money. She did not mention benching Andrew, though.





I have never seen someone enjoy the deaths of 3,000 americans so much...
I hope America wakes up to Rudy's past before 9/11 because he wasn't a good mayor and could make an even worse president than Mr. Bush. Maybe a great fascist dictator but not a good president.
whether or not he gets the most votes, giuliani will be "elected" the next president. (even if it takes another "9/11")
If you loved George Bush, wait until Rudy gets a chance to start a war of his own.
Until the WTC attack Rudy was on his last crooked leg. Anyone living in NY the last 25 plus years knows this and how horrible he made daily life.
And his hatred of black people.
He will never get elected, but could you imagine BUSH 2 - The Rudy Years?
Yechhh!
I seem to remember before 9/11. when refering to Giuliani. It was always, "fu@kin Giuliani".
How did he suddnely become presidential material?
I smell another stolen presidential election in 08
rudy's not going to get elected, guys. c'mon.
i do look forward to watching the political landscape flip when a democrat is in the white house and suddenly the taste of boot polish becomes big with partisans again. (well, some; republicans will suddenly go back to hating the imperial presidency, oddly enough)
Yikes, that's one ugly backdrop. What's with the weird curtains at the top?
Dennis Miller? They guy who can't hold a job? The "comic" who hasn't gotten a laugh since Saturday Night Live? THAT Dennis Miller is calling Nancy Pelosi a moron?
That's good, Dennis. Really good. What is Unemployment paying you, these days, schmuck?
Ehhh... Dennis Miller is just digging himself in deeper.
I appreciate the cynical commenters, though, and it is obvious that in the time from Gothamist's first post to now, many, many more commenters (myself included) have become disillusioned with the official explanation of what happened on September 11th.
I'd like to see Rudy answer a few questions about WTC7.

ZOMG! There was teh conspiracy!!!!
Does anyone get the feeling that the only reason Dennis Miller is claiming to be Republican is because he has the market cornered for emceeing high paying right-wing galas? Apparently Larry The Cable Guy won't travel past the Mississippi...
this guy is not going to win anything. ny mayors never do. not white enough, (obama looks waspish), the rest of the country kind of hates new york (including me, as a chicagoan), and well, he had no power of personality.
Of COURSE he CANNOT win the presidency... The threat is that he is picked up as the VP nominee and turns a few blue states (including NY) red.
"Fooliani" will not win the Presidency, People aren't that stupid ! Sure he just "happened to be the mayor when the Towers fell . Sure he was a hell of a prosecutor, He put some of N.Y's baddest crooks on ice ! That's a nice resume he has built for himself . Then you wake up and see the bad that occurred during his reign as mayor . Crime went up, Racial Profiling increased dramatically, (I guess the racists like that about this asshole)The overall life conditions deteriorated during his reign . He did nothing to spur the economy in New York . (I know because I'm a life long New Yorker) So why would anybody in their right mind vote this guy into office ? Let's not even go there with him marrying his cousin . (I don't care if it was a third,fourth, fifth, or sixth cousin ! That shit is disgusting)
