Guiliani–er–Errs 3
From FactCheck dot org:
The actual increase in the size of the force was about 3,660, or about 10 percent, during the period Giuliani pinpoints. And Giuliani doesn’t mention that the cost of hiring about 3,500 of the officers was partially covered by the federal government under President Bill Clinton.
On another matter, we question Giuliani’s claim that on Sept. 11, 2001, he had a new command center “up and running within half an hour” of being forced to evacuate his primary center near the World Trade Center. In his 2002 book, “Leadership,” he says that “we arrived about noon” at the backup site, which was two-and-a-half hours after the evacuation.
Awwww, forget it.
He doesn’t err. He lies. (That’s an honest word for “spin.”)
He would be a fitting successor to the Current Federal Administrator.
Tradition and all that, you know.

Did you see the article in the Times, where a court said that oponents in a political race can flat out lie & it isn’t considered illegal?
That’s gonna help get the facts out.

No, I didn’t see it. But why should candidates be held to higher standards than any other advertisers?
Integrity can’t be legislated. It must be elected.

Er, don’t look now, but that’s been the law for a long, long time. It’s not new. What few laws there are to hold campaigners to the truth are nearly impossible to enforce.
