No mention of when Rudy barred the elephant dung painting of the Virgin Mary back in 1999? Or when he gave Arafat the old heave-ho at Lincoln Center? Or when he told that Saudi prince what to do with his bloody millions after 9/11?

My brother lived in NY before and during the Rudy years, and he’s in awe of what Rudy accomplished. A doer, not a panderer or a BSer.

Why don’t the conservatives spend their energy taking the fight to the democrats rather than fellow republicans? However imperfect?

Or when he paid his taxes on time or when he used the crosswalk instead of jay walking?

The big difference is that none of these things you mention were really anything more than grandstanding and showmanship, and they had zilch effect on anything really substantive. "Hate crime" laws, on the other hand, present a clear and present danger to the First Amendment, which is yet another amendment that Rudy isn't too keen on.

Standing up to Arabs in the most Jewish city in America (and remember that Rudy won with the Jewish vote twice) doesn't mean somebody it tough.

Rudy: Once a metrocosmopolitan limpwrist, always a metrocosmopolitan limpwrist.
