The Myth: "Bernie, thank God George Bush is our president."

[gatorboy]

"At the time, we believed that we would be attacked many more times that day and in the days that followed. Without really thinking, based on just emotion, spontaneous, I grabbed the arm of then-Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik, and I said to him, "Bernie, thank God George Bush is our president."

The Reality:

Tuesday, September 11 2001

Guiliani: "Bernie, has Bush shown up yet to assess the damage?

Commissioner Bernard: No, he's still in hiding.

Guiliani:He'll Show up! Thank God George Bush is our president.

Wednesday, September 12 2001

Guiliani: "Bernie, has Bush shown up yet to lead our country?

Commissioner Bernard: No, he's still in hiding.

Guiliani:He'll Show up! Thank God George Bush is our president.

Thursday, September 13 2001

Guiliani: "Bernie, has Bush shown up yet to console the victims of this heartless act?

Commissioner Bernard: No, he's still in hiding.

Guiliani:He'll Show up! Thank God George Bush is our president.

Friday, September 14 2001

Guiliani: "Bernie, has Bush shown up yet to show our enemy we are not afraid?

Commissioner Bernard: Yes he's finally here. He's under the table over there.

Guiliani: See! I told you he'd be here in our time of need! Dust him off and get him outside. Thank God George Bush is our president!

1. Knowing Giuliani as our mayor, I think he REALLY said,

"Bernie, thank God, now I can run for president!"

2. So I was sitting in a doctor's office today in Bayonne, New Jersey today

And a very burly, conservative looking, middle aged man with a flat top started talking to his friend about this very point. "So I didn't get to watch a lot of the convention last night because I got home from football practice last night," he began, "but I'll tell you one thing Giuliani said really got my attention. When he mentioned that he turned to the police Commissioner and said, "I'm so glad George Bush is our President," I (and here I braced myself for the for the worst kind of GOP hero worship) nearly fell out of my chair laughing. The building is under attack and he has the time to tell the Police Commissioner that he's glad George Bush is our President.
Yeah, right. Are people really supposed to believe that kind of nonsense?" he then asked his friend.

3. "Thank God Bush never read the Hart-Rudman report or this tragedy wouldn't

have happened and I wouldn't be as famous or my bank accounts so enriched today."

"Thank God Bush is president and he can thwart any investigations so the American people will never realize that I and others in the Reagan and Bush administrations were stonewalling John Kerry's efforts against BCCI and the funding of terrorism and our connections to their dirty banking operations."

4. didn't Kerik fuck things up in Iraq?

wasn't he responsible for the impotent, rapidly deserting Iraqi police force?

5. Yep, that's the douchebag.
