Giuliani: "look at me!!"

America's 9/11 Attention Whore desperately seeking spotlight --

MANCHESTER, N.H. - Rudy Giuliani has never had a problem getting attention — until now.

After finishing a largely overlooked sixth in Iowa and facing a series of more likely defeats, the former New York mayor finds himself struggling to be part of the political discourse. He has tried to inject himself into the mix — to little avail.

Conventional wisdom argues that Giuliani will become permanently irrelevant as early contest winners command the spotlight. History backs up that view.

Campaign speech to unwilling snowmen leaves one spectator shocked, disgusted with never-ending litany of "9/11" comments.
