I never liked Rudy Giuliani.

[saltpoint]

I don't like him now.

I don't expect to like him next week or the week after or in ten thousand years.

Thank you.

1. Same here

[DontTreadOnMe]

2. But he is so cute in drag

c'mon, he ain't that bad :)

He reminds me of my childhood cartoons...

5. What worked pretty well in New York City politics and public relations

with the drag event didn't seem to win Rudy a lot of pals on the Far Right in the 08 primaries.

A lot of the Puke base distrusts anybody from north of Richmond, Virginia to begin with, let alone someone who's allegedly pro-choice, and who dressed in drag, and who roomed with gay roommates when his marriage went to hell.

3. the main reason he got so much kudos for 9/11

is that bush's complete ineptitude made Guiliani simply doing his job as New York mayor look like a superhuman

[saltpoint]

4. Yes. Dubya was so disconnected that a back-alley hack like Giuliani

was made to look like an action figure.

[annabanana]

10. Also he got great photo ops, having been dumb enough to

position the command center (post first WTC attack) IN one of the towers..

[Subdivisions]

21. He told ABC's Peter Jennings that he was told the towers were going to

collapse and to seek safe refuge. Problem is, he didn't tell the first responders.

6. you don't like gangsters?

[saltpoint]

7. Odd to say, no. They kinda give me the creeps. I think you accurately

characterize Giuliani with that term. There is about him a selfish resolve, attained by virtue of his having ascended the power structure by an ends-justifying-the-means M.O.

[Hannah Bell]

8. not to mention the actual gangsters in his family & his rumored mob connections.

9. He does seem to attract a pretty rough crowd.

And there was the cozy little apartment he kept downtown with his pal Bernie Kerik for love trysts.

Stay classy, Rudy.

11. If Giuliani Died

you could give him enema and bury him in shoebox.

[saltpoint]

13. Yes. There is the high bullshit quota to him, and also that he's long ago

abandoned whatever it was that made him an ambitious Democratic politician years back.

I shudder when I think about "Giuliani Time" in New York City.

12. Did you live under the Benito Giuliani regime? I did and can't stand the egotistical shit

14. Rudy's UnElectable...

On several fronts. Partly is he was rejected by his own party last year. Seems like some have forgotten all the money Rudee spent to get all of one electoral delegate. He ran an inept campaign that got worse the more scrutiny that was paid attention to him. The fundie don't like him cause of his divorces and that he's from New York and his neo-con friends are a small and almost invisible segment of that disintegrating party.

Rudy is also unelectable because of Rudy. He wants to run the show...he the boss and there are few jobs that offer that kind of power. Governor is one, but Rudy won't be happy because he'd have a legislature that isn't his handpicked toadies. I'm sure he'd love to be President but doesn't have either the ethics or the organization to do it.

The only ones who have wet dreams about Rudeee these days are his friends in the corporate media.

17. I take encouragement from your observations, KharmaTrain, not only

because I really am encouraged by them, but because if you hold these views, they are likely substantive and reliable.

I'll stop what I'm doing to read what you have to say on any topic on this site.

15. I do have to give him credit for getting dressed up in drag for comedy ...

It doesn't mean I have to like his politics ...

[saltpoint]

19. Agree. The drag event gave us a Rudy with a little zing, unlike the

tough-guy a-hole he is ordinarily.

Interestingly, the thing that made him momentarily likable to some repelled the Republican base and helped bring him down in his bid for the nomination.

[peekaloo]

16. I heard him hawking some kind of motivational speaking tour yesterday.

Kept hearing this commercial on an Orlando radio station and the voice sounded familiar. First thought was Mel Blanc , but remembered he was dead. Well who else does a good Sylvester the Cat impression? Hmmm.... oh yeah Wudy!

Sounds like a stellar day of speechifying with Laura Bu$h and super patriot Colin Powell, some televangelist (I think) AND Terry Bradshaw.

And you can bring your entire office for just $19.00


to bring it all home I never liked him either.

[saltpoint]

22. Nineteen bucks. Hell, I'd pay several times that just to not hear Wudy.

Your descriptions are excellent.

Giuliani is a real tough guy to warm up to. I deeply hope he does not seek public office again at any level.

[bigwillq]

18. I like Roman Polaski better.

:rofl:

[saltpoint]

20. I am very concerned over the reports in the public record about

the treatment of immigrant citizens and violence visited upon them by agents of then-Mayor Giuliani's police force.

See on the google and bing searches under "Giuliani Time."
