You think 911 is funny?? I dare you to come to New York and say that.

9/11 isn't the least bit funny...Rudy is making it into a joke.

There are jokes about the holocaust. 9/11 just isn't that significant by comparison.

There are jokes about the holocaust.

There are jokes about your Mama. Your Mama is so fat; she got the flesh eating bacteria...... the doctors gave her 65 years to live.

My Grandfather died in the holocaust. He got drunk, and fell out of the guard tower.

Perhaps you are not familiar with Guliani's campaign strategy. Or you didn't listen to the piece.
It is excellent satire of his position on everything from healthcare (911) to defense (911) to social security reform (911)

I tend to laugh when I hear accurate political satire. If you don't I apoligise for any offense may laughter at an effective joke may have caused.

Sheesh.

While describing a real life situation that occured in your family may be an amusing personal anecdote it isn't necessarilly a "joke."

I think Giuliani would have laughed at that (not in public).

I think Giuliani's wives, ex-wives, mistresses and ex-mistresses would have laughed at that (some of them in public).

I'm 50/50 on whether Giuliani's mother would have laughed at that (assuming she's alive, if she's dead it seems less likely).

The reason that I suspect that those people would laugh at it is because it was funny even if it was at Giuliani's expense. I am not sure what to make of the fact that Painter didn't laugh at it (at least publically).

It was interesting that he managed to completely twist the meaning of the bit and see it as making fun of 9/11. But I'm not sure what to make of that either.
