The Week That Was 11/02/07

Another week. More preposterousness to report.

This week the GOP's collective daddy got some bad news. It turns out, as you can see below, a NY City Councilman, who runs a Committee that has words like "investigations" and "oversight" in it, wants questions answered after watching the Brave New Films film exposing Rudy Giuliani's robo-failures in protecting firefighters leading up to 9/11 (Rudy's legally changed middle name).

It is not Rudy's fault, mind you. Much as with Bush and the memo "Bin Laden Determined To Strike Within The U.S," Rudy couldn't be bothered to read the memo that said firefighters had dangerously inadequate radios. In 1990. Before he got the no-bid contract Motorola radios for them. That weren't tested. And Failed. So he gave them back their old faulty radios. Which they had to use on 9/11.

Now I understand why Republicans like Rudy. He's a pathological liar. Also, he's dada to neoconservatives who are scared of a few things (although they have yet to notice his version of a papa is more like Chevy Chase in the Vacation movies). You know, like unknown terrorists, progressive ideas, undercover cops, Austin Powers, baggy pants, falafels, Queer As Folk, large dogs, accepting their sexuality, balanced budgets, Rush Limbaugh's penis pills and scurvy, among others.

But now they may have to actually find out the truth about Rudy too. Does the Lord have no mercy?
