UPDATE: Chris Dodd calls Giuliani's $9.11 a head fundraiser "unconscionable, shameless and sickening."

On the Rudy Giuliani fundraising front. . .

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.

Giuliani's campaign had no immediate comment.

According to the invitation, "$9.11 for Rudy" is an "independent, non-denominational grass-roots campaign to raise $10,000 in small increments to show how many individual, everyday Americans support `America's Mayor.'"

No comment. One would think that the one man who would (should?) insist that 9/11 be kept sacred it would be Rudy Giuliani. But they have no comment? My comment would be to cut the guy off from any communication and to condemn immediately any use of 9/11 to raise money for a campaign. Giuliani is probably calculating what will give him an advantage. Disgusting.
