Rudolph W. Giuliani: U.S. presidential election, 2008/September 11, 2001 icon



Rudy Giuliani earned the distinction of being BuzzFlash's "Hypocrite of the Week" on April 27, 2007, after he claimed "that any Republican presidential candidate would prevent another 9/11, while any Democratic presidential candidate would not. ... Beyond being plain stupid, as Keith Olbermann noted, 9/11 happened during the administration of George W. Bush, a Republican, in a city where the Mayor, Rudy Giuliani, was a Republican."
