Rudy trying to be relevant but failing.

Giuliani Hits de Blasio Over Sharpton Panel

Will Bredderman

Former mayor Rudolph Giuliani ripped Mayor Bill de Blasio for convening a public roundtable with Rev. Al Sharpton and Police Commissioner Bill Bratton where the civil rights activist verbally battered the head of the NYPD.

Mr. Giuliani, who also appointed Mr. Bratton as his police commissioner during his first term in office, attacked the new mayor for subjecting the top cop to Mr. Sharpton’s “complete diatribe against the police” at the meeting held in the wake of Eric Garner’s death. The move, the former mayor argued, would leave police feeling under siege.

“I thought that was a big mistake the mayor made, setting up a press conference like that and putting a police commissioner in that situation,” Mr. Giuliani said on the Geraldo Rivera radio program. “That’s extremely damaging to the police commissioner, to keep up the morale of the police.”

it started becoming clear that Bratton was better for the PD than Rudy was.

The last thing Rudy can stand is anyone getting more press than him.

that one December the city was on the way to have a record low homicide rate.

So, Rudy put out the word that any corpses found on New Year's Eve shouldn't be called in until after midnight. The PD, ME, FD, and everyone else told him to go fuck himself. The disgust was universal.

He had that do as I say and not as I do attitude.

I never believed that rudy said to him thank God that Bush is president on 9/11.

Two charlatans hawking an identity-theft protection service.

When I saw Giuliani, I thought: "He's still milking 9/11 for everything he can."
