But, But, Rudy Did Stand Around Looking Serious!

Opera-loving Manhattan dandy and "America's Cross Dresser" Rudy Giuliani is drawing big crowds to his campaign events. Unfortunately for the would-be fascist president, those crowds mostly consist of furious New York City firefighters and the angry relatives of 9/11 victims.

From deliberately locating the city's emergency headquarters in the same World Trade Center that had been repeatedly struck by terrorists to giving the fire department a shoddy, broken radio system, Mayor Rudy "prepared" New York for 9/11 with the same level of incompetence that served Donald Rumsfeld so well in Iraq.

"If somebody can tell me what he did on 9/11 that was so good, I'd love to hear it. All he did was give information on the TV," said Jim Riches, a FDNY deputy chief whose son died at the World Trade Center. "He did nothing."
