On Mike Huckabee’s web site, one of the donation options listed is $20.08 (2008, get it?). Fine. Cute. I almost picked it just for the cuteness of it, but then I donated a different amount altogether.
Rudy Giuliani supporters, though, set out to a fund-raising dinner, selling tickets at $9.11 each.
That’s right. $9.11.
For some, it’s a somber day which should be dedicated to remembering 3,000 innocent men, women, and children who were murdered senselessly. For others, it’s a day of outrage at the people and the philosophy that killed them.
For Giuliani’s camp, it’s a marketing gimmick.
Not surprisingly, the firefighters don’t appreciate this stunt much.
Since Giuliani is my least favorite Republican candidate (and he ranks lower than some of the Democrats, by the way) , I’m all for watching him get beat up by the ACTUAL heroes of 9/11 — you know, the ones who were actually in danger, and who actually went into burning buildings to save lives?
That they don’t support him should end his entire 9/11 hero image, but for some reason it doesn’t. I will never understand why …
