Rudy is gettiing desperate. Check out his latest move:

Rudy has a new ad out. And this time he's gone so far as to use actual 9/11 footage.

As you can imagine, at this point Rudy's campaign has descended to become a sort of desperate 9/11 primal scream.

But the words of this ad really take Rudy's 9/11 megalomania to a new level. Against video of the towers falling, discussing Rudy's role in the 9/11 drama, the announcer intones ...

"And when the world wavered, and history hesitated, he never did."

Does it even require snark and commentary? The world wavered and only Rudy brought us through? Even history hesitated?

My personal memories of September 11th involve NYPD and FDNY rushing into those buildings, and not Rudy Giuliani. He showed up for work that day, which, whilst admirable, is also expected. He's only known to non-New Yorkers because the President and VP were hiding: the real heroes of that fateful day are the firefighters, cops, paramedics, EMTs, and rescue workers.

It certainly can't be any worse than that Goebbels video he released a couple weeks ago...this is the last desperate act of a doomed campaign. Giuliani is a pornographer for the terror fetishists.
