Sun-Times Brown on Giuliani: Just making a buck like every other schmuck

[wndycty]

Giuliani has been reduced to a corporate mouthpiece

April 28, 2004

BY MARK BROWN SUN-TIMES COLUMNIST

In one of our nation's darkest hours, Rudy Giuliani was a rock. With the national psyche dazed in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, the New York City mayor gained our respect by responding to the crisis with poise, strength, resolve and common sense.

Until then just another New York politician with an uneven track record, Giuliani established himself almost overnight as a legitimate American hero.

So what was our hero doing in town Monday pimping for the big drug companies and squandering his well-earned credibility by spreading scare talk about the dangers of imported medicines?

Just making a buck like every other schmuck.

1. Giuliani is an asshole

the only reason he got famous from 9/11 is because Bush went into hiding and giuliani gave some press conferences. so giuliani was on screen at a time when in most situations it would be the president.

but giuliani is now personally profiting from it and not doing anything to actually help ny.

Guiliani as he shouted into a megaphone at a Police talley during his first run for mayor of New York City.

Thanks Rudy. I couldn't have said it better myself.
