Post your reasons why Giuliani is a Dic*!

[The Sushi Bandit]

He is a self serving, hack!

[rurallib]

1. He always seems to be where the attacks happen

Always there ahead of time. Just lucky, I'd guess.

[MissWaverly]

2. He put the terror response headquarters next to the WTC

which had already been the target of a terror attack.

[globalvillage]

3. He married his cousin n/t

6. You win the trip to Vegas for two! n/t

[whistle]

9. Aha aaa, I thought that might ring some bells....what needs to happen

...with Rudy Giuliano, along with all of the other neocons, right wing fascists, BushCo and any other like-minded person is the have a sharp wooden stake driven through their black hearts and embedded deadly into the rotten putrid blood drenched soil they have so monstrously treaded on for much too long!

[valerief]

11. How, er, vivid. But I concur. n/t

[The Sushi Bandit]

23. Dont hold back .. tell us what you realy think!

Rudy is a clap dick

[tomp]

16. really big dick for that ! part of mihop is my guess. nt

[rusty_parts2001]

5. He tried to hog the money donated for 9/11 victims

in some stupid foundation where he could control it and the immense favors that could be granted with all the dough. Only capitulated when he was threatened with a lawsuit.

[MissWaverly]

7. another compassionate conservative

just like Newt Gingrich and Tom DeLay and Randy Cunningham, oh and you can include Casino
Jack and his compassionate lobbying for the Indian tribes in there too.

[mcscajun]

8. He's an idiot who in 1999 sited the city's Emergency Command Center

at a known terrorist target (WTC7), and to boot, hardened (specially reinforcements and special windows) Just the floor the center was on, and for fun, put it ABOVE 6,000 gallons of diesel fuel, despite warnings from the NYFD. This only six years after the WTC bombing of 1993.

What an ultra-maroon.

[OzarkDem]

10. He tried to kick his wife & kids out of the Governor's Mansion

so he could bring in his bimbo. He was tired of shacking up with her in cheap hotel rooms, I suppose.

[globalvillage]

12. After the towers fell, he said

"Thank God George Bush is president".
Then he said it again at the Repub convention.

Disingenuous SOB.

[globalvillage]

13. When a 15 year old black kid was walking home

from a late night youth basketball game and was shot by police, he said the kid should have been home that time of night.

So many reasons.

[doc03]

14. Tweety said he will be the next President a couple weeks ago

He said Him and Hillary will be the candidates in 2008 and Giuliani will win hands down. What a nightmare, I hope the hell that is not what we have to chose from in 08.

[1932]

15. He makes money from huge disparities between wealthy and poor.

He has a personal security firm which makes a lot of money protecting rich people in Mexico City from poor people. If there were less polarization of wealth he wouldn't make as much money. He clearly has no interest in eliminating the disparities and actually seems quite happy getting fat and rich off misery. He's a dick.

[tomp]

17. just like bush: things would be easier if he was the dictator.

arrogant, grandiose, fascist son of a bitch.

[rug]

18. He's a union buster.

He did all he could to break the Legal Aid strike his first year in office.

[indygrl]

19. He brought his bimbo

into the mansion to live while he was still married and his wife and kids still lived there. That had to be so humiliating to the family. How could Falwell, Robertson, Kennedy, Dobson and the other TV preachers of family values who yelled for Clinton's head defend and endorse him? I of course know they would.

[Lars39]

20. His policies towards the homeless.

[newburgh]

21. He started an illegal practice of holding protesters in jail for 24 hours+

...so they couldn't come back and keep on protesting(for the Dialo protests in front of police headquarters). Courts ruled- years later- that this practice was illegal and settlements were paid out from New York taxpayers'- not ghouliani's- pockets. I was arrested under this policy, along with 68 others, protesting the St. Pat's march. I'll never forget those 28 hours being shuffled around the 'combs. BTW, on THE day when NYC is overflowing with drunken white suburban kids, the 'combs were filled with minorities, go figure.:grr:

[DemInDistress]

22. he's a civil rights abuser... often locked up his distractors and

critics especially me when I brought a NY.Daily News front page story,"GOTCHA" cops tricky light show. Police caught on videotape rigging a traffic light to go red. Three weeks earlier I called Rudy on his WABC friday talk radio show and explained my problem to him. Mayor,I said, police in the Bronx are rigging a light to go red and then issuing 125.00$ tickets. Rudy would look into it and did he ever,2 hours later detectives were at my home viewing that videotape and wanted to take it downtown, its was damaging because videotape doesn't lie.
The story soon got the attention of the NYC public and media. Rudy had me arrested that morning for a 13 year old traffic ticket which btw was addressed 11 yrs. earlier warrant was tossed .. Still after 4 days of continuing coverage Rudy took out of dead storage my 20-30 year old police record and trashed me badly. I still haven't psychologically recovered, press did a number on rudy for his wanton abuse of power fishing out someone's rap sheet to discredit me and I had proof (videotape)

We sued rudy in 98' and settled out of court in 2002..

[The Sushi Bandit]

33. Gestapo Giuliani

is a good name to tag him with!

[Lindacooks]

24. He neglected NYC's emergengy preparedness for years.

Directly causing the deaths of hundreds of firefighters and police who didn't hear the order to evacuate because their radios were of such poor quality. Then just because he didn't dissolve into a small puddle on 9/11 (in public, at least), everybody thinks he's a hero.

BARF.

[The Sushi Bandit]

25. If he is so great ...

why isnt he still the mayor??

[Crankie Avalon]

27. Term limit in NY...

...in the election several weeks after 9/11, he probably would have been re-elected. He was even trying to get his second term extended by three months and to delay the election for his successor. His proposal was not altogether ill-received.

In the heat of the moment, people forgot how unpopular he had become pre-9/11.

Now, I'd say people in this town are happy, all in all, that he is no longer mayor.

Bloomberg's no prize, either.

[alfredo]

26. His comb-over.

[Democrat 4 Ever]

28. From a thread yesterday - a new book on Rudy

Really good article about a new book coming out about St. Rudy of 9/11 fame. Did ya know that the firemen didn't have radios that worked on that horrible day because of a contract let by his administration to a political insider? Insisting that the terrorism center be placed in the World Trade Center ("only bunker placed in the clouds"). Or "Instead of directing his own confused troops, Police Commissioner Bernie Kerik was serving as Rudy's personal bodyguard." There is more, can't wait to read the book.

9/11 'hero' image undone
August 23, 2006
It's the unexamined question of 9/11: What if Rudy Giuliani wasn't quite the hero everybody thought?

For nearly five years now, we've all lived in the glow of "America's mayor," that soot-covered father figure who rose to meet the greatest challenge of all. Rudy standing firm in the terror aftermath. Rudy guiding a rattled city back to its feet.

There was no denying this much in those early days of confusion: New York's grim-faced mayor looked a whole lot more in charge than America's deer-in-the-headlights president.

But what if Rudy's take-charge image was mostly a load of bravado and PR? What if the actual decisions he made - before, during and after the terror attacks - were directly responsible for the city's inability to deal effectively with crucial aspects of the crisis?

Well, it's about time someone opened that impolite inquiry.

Hold on tight, now! One of the most carefully guarded myths of 9/11 is about to be shattered for good.

"Grand Illusion," the book is called. "The Untold Story of Rudy Giuliani and 9/11." It is written by Wayne Barrett of the Village Voice and Dan Collins of CBS.com, two of New York's shrewdest investigative reporters. Published this week by HarperCollins, "Grand Illusion" will forever alter how the world sees Rudy Giuliani's place in America's deadliest terror attacks. You can bet national political reporters will be combing though these chapters as the 2008 presidential campaign season revs up.

With dozens of exclusive and previously unreleased interviews, Barrett and Collins show how the ambitious ex-mayor has spent recent years revising his own truth of 9/11 - and profiting handsomely from it. Casting himself as a prescient terror hawk who wisely prepared his city for the inevitable, Giuliani in fact ignored repeated warnings from the experts, including his own commissioners and aides.

Instead of confronting the looming danger, they tell how he grew increasingly distracted by pet projects, political turf wars and an extraordinarily messy personal life.

Slowly, the little decisions added up.

32. I wanted to like the guy, but there was this sleazy side

that I couldn't ignore.

[Crankie Avalon]

29. His shameful display at the head of a mob of drunken police officers...

...crossing the Brooklyn Bridge to protest the Civilian Complaint Review Board. I worked in the area and witnessed it during lunch. I won't forget it. This was prior to his being elected mayor in his second try at election.

30. in the words of Joe Dirt
