Shame on you! Rudy went to ground zero before the towers collapsed. He had run for his life just like everyone else when they started to fall.

And some of the people he had just been speaking to moments earlier died under the collapse.

It could easily have been Giuliani too.

Oh grow up. I was commenting on Letterman not Giuliani. But -- three hundred plus rescue people went inside those buildings and lost their lives. Rudy went -- as he should -- as the mayor, not a rescuer and no one told him the buildings were going to fall.

Letterman went on and on (and on and on) about G's 'courage' even saying how important it was to 'pretend' to be courageous even when you weren't. Why did he say that? Why did he interrupt Regis who was trying to say something nice about W?

Answer: Being half-informed and obsessed with his view that W is an incompetent he really believes the 'W ran' line. (Did Rudy have to order our pilots to shoot down American airliners? How many NYC mayors have been assassinated? Ans: none, zero, nada.). According to William Safire (Letterman can't read?) the terrorists even had the code name of Air Force One. (Were the terrorists gunning for Rudy? Did they even know his name?) Even Peter Jennings behaved properly on this matter as MRC now explains citing all of his comments on the 11th about W.

Anyone who criticizes Bush for 'running' is a scum bag. Letterman by hyping his Rudy comments and his silence on W is doing exactly that. Rather gave him a chance to second his (Rather's) comments on Bush and Letterman failed to speak.

Other posters (#13, #16, #23) seem to agree with me.
