Giuliani: I Misspoke About Ground Zero

WASHINGTON -- Republican presidential hopeful Rudy
Giuliani said Friday that he misspoke when he said he
spent as much time, if not more, at ground zero
exposed to the same health risks as workers combing
the site after the Sept. 11 attacks.

"I think I could have said it better," he told nationally
syndicated radio host Mike Gallagher. "You know, what
I was saying was, 'I'm there with you.'"

Giuliani's explanation further angered his ground zero
critics, prompting several to issue a statement demanding
an apology.

"He is such a liar, because the only time he was down
there was for photo ops with celebrities, with politicians,
with diplomats," said deputy fire chief Jimmy Riches, who
spent months digging for his firefighter son.

2. He put himself in grave danger from all those flashing cameras

[Bonobo]

3. If Rove is right about attacking opponent's strongest points to take em down...

Then Giuliani is cooked.

[Warren Stupidity]

4. ooops

But I am sure that somehow the Bullshit Media System will not deanscream Guiliani to death for his fucking outrageous lie, just as they will quietly avoid deanscreaming Mitten's massive fox paw explanation for why his rich little brats don't have to bother with that messy eye-rack war.

5. "No, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night."

[napi21]

7. HA! They just covered his statement on CNN.

Hmmmm, get that foot out of your mouth now Rudy!

[durrrty libby]

8. He truly is a legend in his own mind

[alstephenson]

9. Uh, not quite the same thing, Rudy....

He meant to say "I'm there with you" - yeah, right. What a POS.

[Hieronymus]

10. Rudy lies so easily, and then expects people to ignore the lies. How

many times has that fool done it so far? :rofl:

[aquart]

12. No fair! George gets away with it! Dick gets away with it!

I guess you have to have the job first.

[LiberalFighter]

11. So he thinks he might had been there with them more than the rest of the country?

Is he trying to say that his heart was more sympathetic of the loss at the Twin Towers and the rescue workers that plodded day in day out? The people that watched the news and read the news accounts weren't as sympathetic towards the people of New York City?

[Mnpaul]

13. I was against flip-flopping

Before I was for it. Blah blah blah

[tanyev]

14. Wah-wah.

Anybody got a giant hook handy to drag that man off the stage?

[Cameron27]

15. Mr. Insult the Firefighters rah rah.

[Fresh_Start]

16. Rudy and Mitt should have a duet

about how their (families) experience is the equivalent of other peoples sacrifices

Rudy is a first responder
Mitts gas guzzling sons are defending the country in the GWOV (global war on voters)

[TwilightGardener]

17. But...but...he was there with those workers IN SPIRIT! That has to count for something, right?

Geez, get off his back!

[Beetwasher]

18. In A FAIR Media Env. This Would Be His "Invented The Internet" Quote

IOW, it would define his campaign and the press would never let go of it. Actually, it should be worse since he really DID say what he's being accused of. I won't hold my breath for fair treatment though.
