Investigating Why Rudy Screwed the FDNY

There is a movement afoot to get the New York City Council to open an investigation into the inept handling by then-mayor Rudy Giuliani of the replacement of defective radios for the New York Fire Department (FDNY). Remember, it was Rudy's failure to replace the radios as recommended that pretty much condemned to death the majority of firefighters that died on 9/11. Those defective radios meant that many did not get the call to get out and so died needlessly.

The organizers of the movement to investigate Rudy's mishandling of the whole affair have delivered petitions with 20,000 signitures to the City Council. Here is the footage of the petitions being delivered Oct. 29th, 2007:

Words to live by

We are a little bit out of touch in Hollywood every once in a while ... We were the ones who talked about AIDS when it was being whispered. We talked about civil rights when it wasn't really popular ... I'm proud to be part of this Academy. I'm proud to be part of this community. I'm proud to be out of touch.
