New Rudy Ad: He Was Stronger Than The Rest Of The World On 9/11
By Greg Sargent - January 18, 2008, 11:41AM

Rudy Giuliani's new ad, running in the West Palm Beach area, uses actual video footage from 9/11 to promote Rudy's candidacy -- and includes this surprising line about the terror attacks:

"When the world wavered, and history hesitated, Rudy never did."

The suggestion appears to be that Rudy's response to the disaster was better than that of literally the rest of the world -- better than Bush's, better than that of the first responders or the people depicted in the ad running from the disaster, better than America as a whole. Indeed, Rudy's response showed him to be stronger and more unshakable than all of history.

Of course, in reality Rudy had nothing to do with America's response to the disaster. Take a look:

4. Simple, well known fact...
When tens of thousands of available police, firemen, EMT's and regular civilians like construction workers ran TOWARD the towers. Guiliani, Kerik and other brave souls were running away from it.

9. Not so good.
He and Kerik weren't inside when WTC 7 was "pulled", unfortunately.
