Mole's Progressive Democrat

The Progressive Democrat Newsletter grew out of the frustration of the 2004 election. Originally intended for New York City progressives, its readership is now national. For anyone who wants to be alerted by email whenever this newsletter is updated (usually weekly), please send your email address and let me know what state you live in (so I can keep track of my readership).

    Rudy Giuliani Desecrates American Graves

    Rudy Giuliani has nothing...absolutely nothing when it comes to qualifications for President. So he and his campaign are desperate to turn 9/11 into Rudy's personal campaign gimmick. This has become more than a joke. It has become a sick joke.

    I have already covered how the REAL 9/11 heroes, the New York Firefighters, destest Rudy Giulianai. And it has already been revealed that the supposed heroism of Rudy Giuliani himself on 9/11 is largely a myth.

    But now his campaign has made a major faux pas: trying to turn 9/11 into a fundraising opportunity. This comes from Michael Bouldin at Daily Gotham:

    It's not exactly a secret that Rudy Giuliani is whoring the 9/11 attacks in his quest for a promotion to the White House. And I suppose you have to feel for the man - it's difficult to hawk mass death in an uplifting and tasteful way.

    Too bad he and his supporters aren't even trying. Atrios calls it humping the corpse.

    A supporter of Rudy Giuliani's is throwing a party that aims to raise $9.11 per person for the Republican's presidential campaign.

    Abraham Sofaer is having a fundraiser at his Palo Alto, Calif., home on Wednesday, when Giuliani backers across the country are participating in the campaign's national house party night.

    But Sofaer said he had nothing to do with the "$9.11 for Rudy" theme.

    "There are some young people who came up with it," Sofaer said when reached by telephone Monday evening. He referred other questions to Giuliani's campaign.


    Nice. That's one way to monetize the death of civilians under your watch. Now, I had always thought that Rudy had reached his personal taste abyss by telling his then-wife about his wish to divorce her via a press conference.

    But Rudy, obviously, can dig deeper than that.


    I have my own plan for a response. Look for it around 10/11. I don't want to be humping the corpse like Giuliani's people...but I do want to rub his face in his own crap. So I will wait until October, then turn the tables, with your help.

    Don't forget to include the "Hello, Dear" phone call as he was in a meeting. He must have known it was being seen by C-Span viewers and would undoubtedly get rerun on YouTube. There must be a better way to appear happily married and dedicated to the sanctity of marriage. Margaret
