I don't think so. 9/11 is the only thing Giuliani has to run on and this fund raiser shows even his supporters know it.

I assume you meant just for fun... you wrote just for sun. Still...

For fun? For fun? 9/11 was a national tragedy and they charge $9.11... for fun?

I can't say what I want to about THEIR (the fund raisers) notion of fun without having it removed and getting a warning.

Sorry I did not mean it to come out that way as "fun" What I was trying to point out was that the $9.11 was such a token sum for the people at the meeting and some staffer thought it would be cute and send a message etc.

The local firefighters are really up in arms about it and I do not blame them. But from a realistic standpoint the area is quite liberal and he is here not to win any votes but rather make the $$$$$$

CUTE?

Thats just as bad.

Does anything say more about how seriously SOME on the conservative right take the events of that day?

SHEET if I were those firefighters I would have to seriously think about if I would want to respond to a fire at that address.
