Bike Lane Repainters: "We're Self-Hating Jewish Hipsters"
Coach Rick Pitino took a page out Rudy Giuliani's playbook while addressing revelations that he had an affair and paid for the abortion of a woman who then tried to extort him for millions. After apologizing to family, friends, fans and colleagues in his statement, Pitino then took a sharp turn while thanking the Lousiville community which he arrived into after being hired in 2001. He said, "When 9/11 hit, you needed a community to get you over it. In New York City, it was easy because everybody knew the devastation of that and they got each other over it. In Louisville, the impact wasn't felt like New York City, but I needed this community to help me get over it." You can't fault the logic of using 9/11 if you wanna knock abortion out of the headlines—especially when new quotes from Karen Cunagin Sypher, the woman who accuses the coach of rape, now include this one: "He made me murder my child. It should sicken the public and it devastated my children...I wanted to have the baby but Rick said if I did, my children would all be in concrete." Sypher has released a phone message Pitino left her, but in it he only encourages Sypher to make her own decision about the pregnancy.

It takes a village to raise an idiot.
My guess is that Pitino didn't let anyone read over his apology, because no one would have let him use the 9/11 line. I mean, really.
Remember, for those who are not NYers, and perhaps even Washingtonites, 9/11 isn't the same as it was to us. we lived through it. TANGIBLY.
They saw it on TV, as they would a movie or tv show.

Pitino lost his brother-in-law and best friend (Billy Minardi, an employee at Cantor Fitzgerald) in the 9/11 attacks. I'm not condoning the affair, but he did have a rough go of it in Sept 2001 and did have a personal tie to 9/11.
what the WHAT?
what a scumbag pandering to his base.
Baby killer, He killed his own baby.
You're as bad as he is. No, you're worse.
I'll say it again, He killed his OWN Baby.
and, would I see you in Hell with Mr. Pitino?
I'm worse??? really? really? I didn't kill no baby.
You just advocate killing innocent sperm with your name.
No, but its none of your business. Also you English is atrocious.
do you like to think of my spunk? perhaps save them?
I blame my dead spunk on Nine Eleven.
You're incoherent.
look who's talking.
I really don't see the problem here. I blame all my fuck-ups on 9/11.
For what it's worth, Pitino did have a family member die on 9/11. His father-in-law(?) was a trader at Cantor Fitzgerald.
So, he may have a bigger emotional connection to 9/11 than the story leads on.
Not that it should make a difference, his rudyism has no relevance to his apology. I Seriously doubt he's sorry he did it, chances are he's just sorry he got caught.
9/11 worked for Guliani's stupid masses.
I wonder what the Priest who sits in all his games thinks about Pitino killing his baby?
