Well, unfortunately, it turned out to be here to the last goldbrick.
MATTHEWS: Yes.
Well, let's take a look. Here's his response by-the Giuliani campaign responded to your video, Mr. Schaitberger, by issuing a press release, saying that, under Mayor Giuliani, the FDI-that's the-I mean, the F.D., the federal-the Fire Department of New York-secured $10 million of bunker gear for all firefighters. They purchased thermal imaging cameras, purchased personal alarms for all firefighters, and that Mayor Giuliani increased funding for the FDNY. He updated the aging EMS ambulance fleet. He increased staffing from four to five firefighters in 60 engine companies, and added more-actually, one new division and two new companies.
SCHAITBERGER: Listen, a mayor's job...
MATTHEWS: Did he do all that? Is this right?
(CROSSTALK)
SCHAITBERGER: A mayor's job in every one of our cities is to make sure that firefighters have adequate equipment, bunker gear. These are not great...
MATTHEWS: OK.
SCHAITBERGER: These are not great...
MATTHEWS: Harold, I have talked to you before. I have always understood that the one union in the United States that has a sizable, if not half of its membership are Republicans, yours does. Do you believe you speak for all firefighters when you say you won't vote for Giuliani?
SCHAITBERGER: We have got 281,000 members, Chris. And you know our union. Our union is politically diversified. It's a cross-section of this country.
MATTHEWS: Right. Well, how can you slam one Republican candidate?
(CROSSTALK)
SCHAITBERGER: I'm not going to suggest that every member will agree with this.
MATTHEWS: Right.
SCHAITBERGER: I will suggest this. Walk into any New York City firehouse and ask them about their position and their opinion of Mayor-former Mayor Giuliani. I will live with that result.

That Main Stream Media is completely satisfied with the 9/11 story told by it and the coverage it gave to the various Government Commissions?
Now here's some FDNY Union guy wanting to rehash some things. Nothing could be more clear that this story is over in the Main Stream Media. It's off to the Races now. Remeber Rosie ODonnel tried to discuss some things? Good Bye Rosie. Wonder when WHOOPI will begin her rant supporting the War On Terror?
Sad sack Barack Obama talking tough on the War On Terror the other day. Look who's been forced to toe the Party line now. So much for Obama being the Man Of The People.
How come more people can't see these Lies? The question is: What is wrong with America? But should be: WHAT IN THE HELL IS WRONG WITH STUPID AMERICANS?
Oops, I answered my own question.
