Guiliani Claims He Was At Ground Zero MORE Than Most Rescue Workers by dsnodgrass

Rudy Giuliani has no shame. Not satisfied with refusing respirators for ground zero rescue workers, yet engaging in a mission-accomplished style strut across the nation on the backs of those same rescue workers, (many who are very sick or dead), Giuliani has twisted the knife in their collective backs yet again.
This happened earlier today.
Last month, the parents and siblings of some of the 343 firefighters killed in the terrorist attacks released a video with the International Association of Fire Fighters, which opposes Giuliani's candidacy.
Campaigning in Ohio, Giuliani defended his work, including raising funds.
..."I was at ground zero as often, if not more, than most of the workers. ... I was there working with them. I was exposed to exactly the same things they were exposed to. So in that sense, I'm one of them."...
...NYC's bravest and finest took a different view.
Battalion Chief John McDonnell, head of the Uniformed Fire Officers Association in New York, said: "I have a real problem with that statement. I think he's really grasping and trying to justify his previous attempts to portray himself as the hero of 9/11."
Michael Palladino, head of the Detectives Endowment Association, the union of NYPD detectives, said the mayor's record can't compare to those who spent 12 months sifting through toxic debris for evidence and human remains.
Suggested presidential campaign slogan: Rudy Guiliani Has No Shame.
