[The Wisdom of a Distracted Mind] What the...?

Now, this is just a little on the side of what I would consider tacky (and trust me, for me to consider something tacky, it's got to be downright putrid. Think: Elvis carved out of rancid Spam and plated in gold with diamonds for eyes and purple hair kind of tacky)

Anger at Giuliani 9/11 fundraiser

Republican presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani has been criticised over a fundraising party at which participants are being urged to donate $9.11.
(Full story)

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that this definitely crosses some sort of line somewhere. What kind of sick, twisted prick would exploit the countless dead bodies for his own personal gain? It's wholly unconscionable, and beyond disgusting watching Giuliani constantly hump the corpses in his pathetic quest to be president.

Did ethics get pitched out the window? How can anyone justify this sort of exploitation, I wonder. What kind of people would fall for this sort of stunt anyway? Donate nine-dollars and eleven cents?!? Does he have anything other than a mountain of dead bodies to stand upon?

It doesn't matter one damned whit if you are on the Right or on the Left in your political leanings. If you are a human being, you should be ashamed at this man's blatant disregard for the memory of those who died on September 11th, 2001, and you should demand he stop sucking the marrow from the burned and broken bones of our nation's dead in his greedy quest. Those who died that day deserve to rest. They are not carrion for the soulless politicians to pick clean to sate their hunger for power.

Humanity should be embarrassed to share a world with such scum as Rudy Giuliani.
