Rudy is making up excuses for his failures on 9/11. First up is the radio system: But there’s one key detail he won’t clearly explain: Why firefighters on 9/11 had the same faulty radios that failed them in 1993, when the World Trade Center was first attacked. When asked about the issue Thursday at an […]
Because he is thought of the same there as he is in New York: Rudy Giuliani’s plan to ride in a Miami-Dade firetruck in Sunday’s Three Kings parade has outraged some firefighters who say the presidential candidate has ”lied” about his 9/11 record because he did too little to equip and protect emergency workers. The […]
Conrad Burns has really pissed me off lately. It started when he decided to attack firefighters, and then after calling them “lazy”, gets caught napping during a meeting in Senate. Now it looks like paypack may become very sweet: After months of defiant protestations of innocence about his role in the Jack Abramoff influence-peddling scandal, […]
He went on his little rampage about over-paid, lazy firefighters a couple of weeks ago, but check out Burns in action in the U.S. Senate. So let me get this straight. A firefighter who makes an average of $30,000 – $40,000 a year goes out and risks life and limb fighting a fire in intense […]
Kos has a post up about Sen. Burns attacking firefighters: “See that guy over there? He hasn’t done a God-damned thing. They sit around. I saw it up on the Wedge fire and in northwestern Montana some years ago. It’s wasteful. You probably paid that guy $10,000 to sit around. It’s gotta change.” [SNIP] “Bullshit!” […]
Bloomberg is reporting that the investigation into the phone jamming scandal is now widening: To Republicans, the New Hampshire phone-jamming incident is an isolated case of political dirty tricks that took place more than three years ago. To Democrats, it’s a scandal with echoes of Watergate that may reach all the way to the White […]
With all the talk recently on Katrina and the video that was released of Bush on theat conference call I felt this story appropriate. Thew comment about firefighters searching for several months until funding ran out is well….. just disturbing. As seems the case with Bush and his administration, money is more important that people. […]
It is starting to look like the media of truth is fading away again to the media of Bush. Last week we heard reports of firefighters furious over their lack of allowed involvement in the Gulf Coast. One report talked of over 1100 firefighters feeling used because they were sent down there to act strictly […]
I am going to try and discredit the myth being told by the right regarding the response of last week’s disaster. Seems like there is an enormous effort out there to take all blame from the President, yet put blame on the Mayor. Well those right-wing spinners need to realize they both have blame to […]
From the AFP Bush spotlights mom of troops who backs Iraq war US President George W. Bush contrasted a military mother whose five sons and husband have served in Iraq with anti-war protestors he said risked emboldening terrorists. “There are few things in life more difficult than seeing a loved one go off to war.
