“First Responders For Rudy” to manifest corporeally

Jon » 05 September 2007 » In 2008 Presidential Campaign, 9/11 »

From Greg Sargent’s August 29th piece on TPM’s Election Central:

ou may recall that some time ago Rudy Giuliani unveiled a group called “Firefighters for Rudy” in response to some heat he was taking from firefighters over the deficiencies they saw in his 9/11 performance. At the time, this blog noted that the group’s leader was merely a Rudy campaign aide and wouldn’t say how many firefighters were in this new “group.” Not much has been heard about the group since.

Now Rudy, who’s again under fire from recovery workers over his exaggerations about his Masterfully Churchillian Performance on 9/11, is pulling the same trick from his hat once again. Today his campaign plans to unveil “First Responders for Rudy” at a firehouse in South Carolina.

ELECTRICITY: 100% CLEAN AND GREEN BY 2018
The Gore Energy Challenge - 100% clean, renewable, sustainable electricity in 10 years, can be described in 3 words. Reasonable, Achievable, Visionary. Here’s how: 40% Land Based Wind = 100 GW: $200 Billion. 40% Offshore Wind = 100 GW: $286 Billion. 20% Solar = 50 GW: $325 Billion. 100% Clean Energy = 250 GW: $811Billion. Save the Earth, and the Economy - Priceless. The Stone Age didn’t end because we ran out of stones. And the age of fossil fuels is ending not because we have run out of fossil fuel, but because we have figured out how better technologies. Biofuels, Geothermal, Marine Kinetic, Solar, Wind, and of course, Conservation. (0)
