  •  Giuliani is a punk. (none / 0)

    Regardless of anything he might deserve during the 9/11 disaster, he has turned it into a financial windfall and disgusting marketing scam. For those that might forget, on his watch "America's finest police force" sodomized an inmate, shot unarmed, innocent victims, and other pravesties that seem to be forgotten. He was also having an affair while mayor, and if I'm not mistaken, adutery is not high on the Catholic morality list.
    Granted, the man has accomplished more than I have and possibly ever will in my lifetime, but I don't pretend I'm something I'm not.
    Nagin seems to be a ddecent person and possibly competent mayor. This was not something he could deal with without federal and national assistance. Time will be the judge, but to compare him with Giuliani ain't comparing apples and apples.

    •  you mean the Giuliani who... (none / 0)

      ...tried to justify the police shooting of an unarmed 30 year old black security guard by trying to sully the man's character before his body was even cold?  

      ...or the one who told the media he wanted a divorce before discussing the issue with his wife?

      Neither one is the type of person who, IMO, deserves to wield power.

      •  he said that the victim was (none / 0)

        "no altar boy", while, in fact, he was.

        It was pretty disgusting.  In any case, the idea that it is OK for an undercover policeman to get into a physical altecation and then avenge a punch in the face with a fatal shot, provided that the victim is merely a FORMER altar boy... requires no comments.
