Hmmm. Giuliani seems to take a striking Il Duce-like pose.
Breslin said of him during the mayoralty:
“A small man in search of a balcony.”
Mussolini-like or not, he’d do better if his numbers added correctly.
Rudy claimed he cut welfare by 60% and the reporter gleefully said this was wrong, he only cut it by 58%. Crime was cut drastically, says Rudy, “it was on it’s way down anyway and Rudy merely used the 5000 extra cops Dinkins put on the force to do this, opines the reporter. Rudy says he lowered taxes 9 billion. Not so says reporter, he only lowered them 5.8 billion, the rest was State cuts.
Looks as if they want to zing the guy but cannot really come up with anything of substance to do so with. Even the attempt to pin the security escort thing on him is going nowhere.
He lied to his many brutally treated wives
He’ll lie to us in a heartbeat.
By all means, let’s start treating the NYTimes as THE source on political news!
I’m not necessarily opposed to the hit pieces on Giuliani. He isn’t my first or second or even third choice.
What frosts me is the lack of research into Hillary’s outright distortions and lies.
Amazing to me, we are always complaining about reporter’s lack of research, laziness when it come to writing an article or on the air piece.
But when a Republican candidate is involved it’s dig, dig, dig.
Now that you mention it...
Giuliani is a con man. He dubbed himself some kind of hero for failing to protect his city against the terrorists.
Rudy's lack of honesty is central to his weak character. He's habitually lied to everyone in his life - family, voters, citizens, supporters.
Those closest to him (his family) and those who closely observed his perfomance (NYC's first responders) do not respect him or believe anything he says. They know he's a phony.
How could anyone seriously want to force our troops to salute a man like this?
