Picking up the Rudy slack

A reader notes that Hillary has brought up 9/11, more or less unprompted, three times so far in the debate, a level not seen since Rudy Giuliani dropped out in January.

"For Pastor Wright to have given his first sermon after 9/11 and to have blamed the United States for the attack, which happened in my city of New York, would have been just intolerable for me."

And:

"If I'm not mistaken, that relationship with Mr. Ayers on this board continued after 9/11 and after his reported comments, which were deeply hurtful to people in New York and, I would hope, to every American, because they were published on 9/11, and he said that he was just sorry they hadn't done more."

And:

"I certainly would not meet with Ahmadinejad, because even again today, he made light of 9/11, and said that he's not even sure it happened and that people actually died."

(The reader who noted this is also, it turns out, a blogger, and noted it here.)
