Politico: Fred Thompson Going after NYC Firefighters
Jonathan Martin over at Politico writes about Republican Fred Thompson courting New York City firefighters who may have problems with their former mayor, Rudy Giuliani.
Martin notes that Thompson had breakfast in New York this week with former senator Al D'Amato, who has endorsed him, and Steve Cassidy, head of New York City's Uniformed Firefighters Association. The meal was Thursday, the day after the International Association of Fire Fighters released a video highly critical of Giuliani, and was documented by a crew from WCBS-TV. (The UAF and IAFF are affiliated.)
We reported earlier on the IAFF accusations against Giuliani, which stem from equipment failures on 9/11 and a Giuliani decision to speed up the Ground Zero site cleanup before remains of many firefighters were found. Giuliani says he has a long record of support for "New York's bravest."
