Tackiest. Exploitation. Of. 9/11. For. Political. Gain. Ever.

From who else? Rudy Giuliani:

A supporter of Rudy Giuliani's is throwing a party that aims to raise $9.11 per person for the Republican's presidential campaign.

Abraham Sofaer is having a fundraiser at his Palo Alto, Calif., home on Wednesday, when Giuliani backers across the country are participating in the campaign's national house party night.

But Sofaer said he had nothing to do with the "$9.11 for Rudy" theme.

"There are some young people who came up with it," Sofaer said when reached by telephone Monday evening. He referred other questions to Giuliani's campaign.

Oh, and in case you've forgotten, Rudy Giuliani was New York's mayor on 9/11/01. Did you know that Rudy Giuliani was mayor of New York on 9/11/01? Yes, and he was also mayor of New York on 9/11/01.
