Yet you are still factually wrong even if we give you your lame mulligan.

On July 4, 2002 Hesham Mohamed Hadayet, an Egyptian national, who espoused anti-Israeli views and was opposed to U.S. policy in the Middle East killed two Israelis and wounded four others during a mass shooting at the El Al ticket counter at Los Angeles International Airport. He was killed during the incident when the Israeli airline’s security guard shot him.

So “abbreviated language” is Rudy’s “with notably rare exceptions”?

When you’re giving a speech, you only have five minutes, you can’t give an encyclopedic explanation

It didn’t need an encyclopedic explanation, it needed the TRUTH.

No, actually, you lied. You lied to people you hoped would become too caught up in the emotion of the words to noticed that you fucking lied about 9/11. Assh@le.

“By the way,” Giuliani said, “under those eight years, before Obama came along, we didn’t have any successful radical Islamic terrorist attack in the United States. They all started when Clinton and Obama got into office.”

That’s not abbreviated anything. It’s a lie. It’s a lie that assumes everyone listening forgets the most horrible day of our collective lives. So it’s a stupid lie.

No, “all human beings don’t speak in abbreviated language at times,” you horse’s ass.

Yeah, most of us call that “lying.” And lying about something we all know produces the added element of sheer stupidity. Such are the Trumpistas.

“I didn’t forget 9/11. I hardly would. I almost died in it,”

Almost died in it? Tell us another one Rudy! Tell us how Jesus rode a dinosaur! We love that fable too.

I get it. Rudy short-circuited. He meant to say there was no financial collapse until Obama’s term began.

He wasn’t factually wrong in the “abbreviated language” version.

“Abbreviated language.” Is that what they call it when you have a cerebral incident?

Abbreviated language, you Hillary opponent-fluffer fuckwit, is saying 9 11 instead of September eleventh.

You left shit out.

Not to quibble but “we didn’t have any successful” is longer than “we had several”, and then he could have left of the whole: “They all started when Clinton and Obama got into office.” That saves precious seconds.
