Rudy Continues To Mislead On Time Spent At Ground Zero

It's a wonder why Rudy Giuliani still tries to mislead Americans about the amount of time he spent at ground zero. Yesterday in an interview with CNN Giuliani continued to mislead and stood by his earlier claim that he was just like the rescue workers, who often worked for more than 12 hours a day in the debris, and faced equal risks.

Here's what Giuliani claimed on CNN.

“You can be there for a relatively short period of time and still get sick, and still be considered in the category of people who are at risk.”

“The reality is that I was there a good deal of time, a lot more then the Times indicates.”

“In fact I’ve even been invited to join some of the studies, some of the tests, to determine what kind of impact did it have on me.”

Here's what the New York Times said about the amount of time that Rudy Giuliani spent at ground zero.

“An exhaustively detailed account from his mayoral archive, revised after the events to account for last-minute changes on scheduled stops, does exist for the period of Sept. 17 to Dec. 16, 2001. It shows he was there for a total of 29 hours in those three months, often for short periods or to visit locations adjacent to the rubble. In that same period, many rescue and recovery workers put in daily 12-hour shifts.”

Many of my friends don't follow Government or politics. They don't know Geuliani said such a Boo Boo. I wish we could get this on one of the World News stations. They do watch the news.
