I was guarding that bank when it got robbed, therefore I should be given a raise!

Everyone knows that Rudolph Giuliani has been taking every available opportunity to remind the country that he was mayor of New York when 9-11 happened. Why he's been doing this is somewhat baffling: several deaths happened because of his negligence on the matter.

Maybe he's just banking on the fact that in the post-9/11, Bushian world, failure is rewarded.
