Rudy's 911 Call

Rudy Giuliani said this during a recent debate: "The reality is that I'm not running on what I did on Sept. 11."

Well, he certainly has an interesting concept of reality (from today's New York Post via Hoffmania):

Rudy Giuliani is trumpeting his leadership in the wake of 9/11 in campaign mailings to voters in Iowa and New Hampshire.

In one piece, Giuliani is hailed as "America's Mayor" who displayed "Strength through Leadership."

While Giuliani's supporters have long boasted about his performance after the attacks, he himself had not, until now, mentioned it as prominently.

"After the worst attacks on US soil, Rudy Giuliani went to work rebuilding New York City and faith in America," reads the mailing, which features a photo of the former mayor set over the city skyline.

Giuliani, it says, "led the largest rescue and recovery operation in US history."

Perhaps Rudy's 9-11 push has something to do with this.

And speaking of presidential politics, here is an excellent post from Kevin Drum. And this is very interesting.
