It's not exactly a secret that Rudy Giuliani is whoring the 9/11 attacks in his quest for a promotion to the White House. And I suppose you have to feel for the man - it's difficult to hawk mass death in an uplifting and tasteful way.

Too bad he and his supporters aren't even trying. Atrios calls it humping the corpse.

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.

Nice. That's one way to monetize the death of civilians under your watch. Now, I had always thought that Rudy had reached his personal taste abyss by telling his then-wife about his wish to divorce her via a press conference.

But Rudy, obviously, can dig deeper than that.
