What I always found strange was how Rudy was able to walk around New York City with camera crews in front of him recording every move while the devastation going on all around him. The whole 9/11 Rudy thing seemed like one big staged media event, and he lapped it up that day, and every day since.  The Fire Fighters were the real heroes that day, any attempt to discredit them by Rudy thugs will be create lots and lots of Blowback.
