About a month ago, at one of the debates for Republican presidential candidates, Rudy Giuliani said, “The reality is that I’m not running on what I did on September 11th.” He managed to say it with a straight face.

It seemed like an amusing comment, of course, given how often the former mayor cites the 9/11 attacks, seemingly in response to every question. Jon Stewart recently described it as “9/11 Tourette’s.” But is it really as bad as Giuliani’s critics suggest? The New York Daily News’ Helen Kennedy took a look at how the candidate has incorporated the attacks into various unrelated matters.

And when I say “various,” I mean “every” unrelated matter.
