Frameshop: Rudy's Flop Shows '9/11' Can't Win Anymore
Of all the words Rudy Giuliani used in his Florida concession speech last night, '9/11' was not one of them.
The omission of his signature leitmotif from his only major televised speech was not not oversight, but a harbinger of big change in American politics. Finally, after 7 years of Republicans exploiting 9/11 to win elections and pass policies, Giuliani's failure in the Presidential race will likely put that that strategy to bed.
Thank goodness for small miracles.
...iuliani's omission of '9/11' from his concession speech in Florida, last night, brought a well-earned respite for the memory of those who died and suffered as a result of the attacks seven years ago.Right-wing pundits will no doubt continue to cash in on 9/11 by using it as political fodder on talk shows and in political books. But it is unlikely that 9/11 will ever again become the theme for a winning political campaign.
I suppose we have Rudy to thank for that.
