There is a movement afoot to get the New York City Council to open an investigation into the inept handling by then-mayor Rudy Giuliani of the replacement of defective radios for the New York Fire Department (FDNY). Remember, it was Rudy's failure to replace the radios as recommended that pretty much condemned to death the majority of firefighters that died on 9/11. Those defective radios meant that many did not get the call to get out and so died needlessly.

The organizers of the movement to investigate Rudy's mishandling of the whole affair have delivered petitions with 20,000 signitures to the City Council. Here is the footage of the petitions being delivered Oct. 29th, 2007:

Every once in a while, you stumble across a story in the lamestream media that departs from the lemming mindset of our distinguished fellows in the press to a most remarkable degree. Today's story on Rudy Giuliani in the Washington Post is such a story.

Now, we all know the legend of Saint Rudy the Watchful, endlessly retold by every media outlet that can afford the newsprint: how he planted his 200-foot-tall hulking frame at The Narrows, ever on the watch against Islamist evildoers. How he would have leaped across Manhattan in a single bound to stop the planes hitting on 9/11, if that dastardly Bill Clinton hadn't had him under a mind-control spell. How siting his Emergency Command Center in the World Trade Center was just a ruse that Osama, of course, fell for.

The filthy iconoclasts at WaPo desecrate the national legend by offering up some chilling observations about Hizzoner's actual tenure, and how it's somewhat at odds with what he's saying now as he runs for higher office.

Mr. Bush...what part of "Osama bin Laden determined to attack the US" didn't you understand?

And why haven't you stopped al-Qaeda and caught bin Laden? Six years after Pearl Harbor we had won. Decisively. Six years after Pearl Harbor Hitler was dead and many of those responsible for atrocities brought to justice. Six years after 9/11, where is Osama bin Laden?

Imagine leaving home in the morning, voting in a primary election for mayor, catching the subway to work and starting your day. Imagine hearing strange noises, but thinking nothing of them. Then imagine hearing that the WTC was no more and desperately trying to reuinte your family, now scattered across a city in crisis with no subways running. That was six years ago.
