Giuliani's Toxic Lies

Earlier this week Rudy made news when he claimed he spent as much time or more down at the World Trade Center than the rescue workers themselves. Obviously this riled anyone that cares about the firefighters and rescue teams more than they do about Giuliani and his ego (meaning the great majority of Americans). The heat got so bad that Rudy had to "clarify" his statements but he never answered how many hours he was down there. You want to take a guess at the real number?

From Your New Reality:


Rudy Guiliani (second from right) knew he had to protect his lungs from the toxic dust at Ground Zero. This is rare photo of Guiliani in a mask. He usually removed it for interviews and photographs.

Following up our recent report on wannabe Republican president, and former New York City Mayor, Rudy Guiliani's absurd claim that he was just like all those first responders and rescue workers, who clocked up many hundreds of hours in the toxic pit of 9/11's Ground Zero, a story in the New York Times reveals just how much time Guiliani actually spent on site.

The number of visits Guiliani made to Ground Zero between September 11 and December, 2001, is one-tenth of the number of visits he's previously claimed to have made.

Considering, also, that when Guiliani did visit the smoking ruins of the World Trade Centre he spent no more than 15 to 30 minutes at a time there, only increases the suspicion that Guiliani knew exactly how toxic the air was at the site, as did clearly the staff and security detail of the luminaries and world leaders he took there for tours.

Why am I not surprised? Rudy seems to be a run of the mill pathological liar. Usually these people do not amount to much since their lack of credibility keeps them down. Yet Rudy has skillfully alluded the adjective and replaced it with a blatantly false "America's Mayor" stamp. This qualifier needs to be quashed, and people should start calling him what he is, a liar that will go to any length to gain more power and feed that goddamn inflated ego of his.
