Too boot, I now doubly despise him for being such a rabid Yankee fan, the Yankees S-U-C-K. And they S-U-C-K because they epitomize a typical New Yorker - you can buy anything - including a World Championship (hardy-har-hah).

Giuliani is his own worst enemy. Despite his reputation, when either under pressure from the media or replying to criticism, he appears to speak without thinking of the consequences.
Extremely Extreme Extremist should get out of FR threads now and save whatever reputation he has remaining before it becomes completely shredded
Lefties like Alex here just don’t get it. Which did more for the people of NYC? Seeing the Mayor standing around Ground Zero wringing his hands or seeing him at a Yankee’s game showing the Islamoterrorists that we are not going to cower in the face of their murder and tyranny? Worthless article. Just another Clinton-loving, America hater.
Anyone here have an example of a NYT story examining any of Hillary's claims?
Bueller?
Anyone?
I’ll bet dollars to dough-nuts, that Hillary was at some fundraiser.
My guess is that the Fred hit pieces will get the same or more attention than the ones on Rudy because the MSM fear FDT winning just as much.
Rudy, you’ve just been Swift-Boated. Devestating.
“this is another crock of sh!t.....like the hit pieces claiming President Bush has taken move vacation than any other president....I’m glad the NYSlimes runs with garbage like this- it just further proves how pathetic they are.....”
I agree. What’s more bothersome to me is that people are so anti-Rudy that they post all these articles from the NY Times, AP, Salon etc. Talk about eating your own. When I hear people say that if Rudy or Romney wins they aren’t going to vote I just want to bang my head against the wall.
I’m pro life partly because I despise the politics of those who are pro choice. I’m starting to feel the same about those who are so rabidly pro life that they would cut their nose off despite their face and allow Hillary to become president. She will probably nominate at least 2 socialists to the Supreme court! We had 8 years of Bill and people still love him. Wake up! People aren’t going to learn a lesson from a Hillary presidency and become conservatives! Geez!
This is going to be tailor made fodder for opposition candidate TV ads in Iowa and New Hampshire come December.
What a stupid article.
My remembrance of post-9/11 was the intense need to reassure the nation and especially those in NY and DC that life can go on and that it was safe to gather at public events. So, Rudy’s attendance at Yankees games and other public gatherings was part of that plan.
Why would he have spent all his time at the site? He would have been a distraction.
His job was confidence building and marshalling resources for the recovery, not picking up concrete and steel.
I am not a Rudi booster, but he did a good job post 911.
That’s a great point. Rudy was the epitome of optimism after the attacks.
What really hurts Rudy about this is it shows a “public” face and a “private” face. Publicly he’s saying he’s at the clean up site all day. He’s with the brave firemen. But privately he’s living it up with professional athletes. If this is an isolated incident it does nothing, but when you add marital infedelity, family trouble and other questional decisions in his private life, one could come to believe that Rudy has one face in public, and another in private. Somebody could exploit that.
Too boot, I now doubly despise him for being such a rabid Yankee fan, the Yankees S-U-C-K. And they S-U-C-K because they epitomize a typical New Yorker - you can buy anything - including a World Championship (hardy-har-hah).
It will be interesting to see whether Mitt goes after Rootie on this issue later on in the winter, it could make some hay for him just like the “sanctuary city” designation put the favorite on the defensive.
About the Yankees in the last few years, they have been using more their own home grown players and they have been relying less on free agents.
And over the last few months they don "suck". In fact they have the best record.
You're right about not supporting Rudy, though.
It would make quite a contrast. After 9-11, Mitt saves the Winter Olympics, presides over the 9-11 flag brought in to the Stadium, while Rudy hobnobs with baseball players and starlets at Yankee Stadium. Leader vs. Spectator.
That was a great moment in Salt Lake City back in 2002, especially the USA Olympic athletes saying they would not be there to present the official colors if the IOC made them carry any other flag but the WTC banner from Ground Zero.
