IF YOU CONSIDER YANKEE STADIUM TO BE GROUND ZERO, WELL, THEN...

Salon ran an excellent article about former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani. Giuliani has stated recently multiple times that he spent more time at ground zero after 9/11 than many of the rescue workers. The exact quote, from ABC News, is, "I was at ground zero as often, if not more, than most of the workers. ... I was there working with them. I was exposed to exactly the same things they were exposed to. So in that sense, I'm one of them."

Its almost needless to say, but I'll say it anyway: Giuliani is full of crap. Salon did some research and concluded that Giuliani spent much more time watching and traveling to Yankees games than he did at ground zero.

Giuliani spent about 58 hours at Yankees games or flying to them in the 40 days between Sept. 25 and Nov. 4, roughly twice as long as he spent at ground zero in the 90 days between Sept. 17 and Dec. 16.

Theres more, of course. Check out the article if you have a moment.
