I just realized what George W. Bush, George Pataki and Rudy Giuliani all have in common.

They were all republican executives in office during the attacks of September 11th, I find that interesting on so many levels.

2. Sorry, but why do Pataki and Giuliani come to mind now?

3. Thank you for saying this, I've been saying it for years

and it can't be said enough. For years when I use to hear repubs blame Clinton for 9/11, I always use to respond with that same statement. Clinton had appointed Richard Clarke the Anti-Terrorism czar and bush, cheney & rice chose to ignore him. As for Ghouliani, he was so cheap that firefighters did not have the appropriate radio equipment to communicate with each other. As for Pataki, he was governor for so many years, did it ever occur to him to have some sort of plan for evacuation of the Towers? They had been hit once before and nothing was ever done to follow that up.


With the 10 year anniversary of 9/11, coming up, you can rest assured, republicans will be tooting their own horns, how they are so tough, how they stood up to terrorists, and blah, blah. In reality this horror story took place on their watch, under their leadership.

I will always remember 9/11 as a Republican Epic Fail.
