Families Lash Out at Giuliani at Hearing

some snips:

"My son was murdered because of your incompetence!" shouted Sally Regenhard, whose firefighter son died in the trade center.

Giuliani finished his testimony and abruptly left the auditorium minutes later, leaving many family members upset that they received few answers. Monica Gabrielle, who lost her husband, Richard, called it a "lost opportunity."

"A lot of these questions that the public has may die with this commission," said Patricia Casazza, whose husband died as the offices of Cantor Fitzgerald filled with smoke.

A longtime city gadfly berated him and the commission, yelling, "Three thousand people murdered does not mean leadership!" He and another person were hustled out of the room.

Others in the audience shouted about the failure of Fire Department radios, shouting, "Talk about the radios!"

"You're simply wasting time at this point," commission head Thomas Kean told the family members.

"YOU'RE wasting time!" came the angry reply.

Current Mayor Michael Bloomberg later testified that New York was recently advised by Congress that its homeland security funding for the 2004 budget year would be cut by nearly 50 percent. Thinly populated states such as Nebraska, North Dakota and Wyoming receive several times more funding per capita than New York, he said.

"This is pork-barrel politics at its worst," the mayor said. "It also, unfortunately, has the effect of aiding and abetting those who hate us and plot against us."

"...aiding and abetting those who hate us and plot against us." Yeah MIKE!

Bloomberg never says anything bad about Bush*

and rightfully so. Bush's whole basic agenda is at odds with New York City's.

AFTER the 1993 bombing?
he also didn't lift a finger to get NYC funding. Hillary and Schumer did it all. pataki and Giuliani didn't give a s*. And mccain voted against - I'll remember it for the rest of my life!

2003 official version: Giuliani was a rock during 9-11.

2004 unofficial version: Why'd you use 9-11 as a photo-op?

homeland security. Now they're cutting it 50%. RIDDLE ME THIS who is more apt to protect you from a terrorist attack. 1 The one man in the world at the top of every terrorist hit list, or #2 anyone else in the world?

and then Mitch Daniels called NYC "money grubbers" for calling them on their lie.

any time soon?

America thinks this guy is so popular, but the folks in NYC know Guiliani's record and his past. Guiliani, may have performed well on 9-11 but he's been covering for his neocon buddies ever since. Nice to see people finally getting sick and tired of the bull and speaking out. Someone should tell Kean to go stick his pompous head up his pompous butt.

His past is too well known in the NYC metro area. He's waaaaaay over-rated.


:kick:

Man, that Kean has more nerve than the guy who ate the first oyster. He says that to one of the 9/11 family members.

Amazing. Straight out of the george w. bush Institute for the Study of the "Let 'em Eat Cake" School of Government.
