Republican contender Rudy Giuliani told the press yesterday there was no way he would miss the ceremonies next week at Ground Zero. He is even going to take part and read a passage for the event. Isn't that sweet of him. He wants to show he cares, or something like that. I call bullshit. Rudy doesn't care, he just wants to look good. He wants to reaffirm the false image of "America's Mayor" when he was anything but.
Many of the victim's families do not want him there and for good reason. His presence brings politics to the memorial, when politics has no business being there. Talk about it, write about it, speak your mind on how you feel....but when thousands of families take the time to remember their loved ones at was once called the pile, Presidential politics needs to be kept at bay.
Rudy's track record around 9/11 is enough, he doesn't need to add more grief for those that will have politics at the back of their minds when more important things are at hand.
