found this on Hoffmania.



Oh, Freakin' BARF

MSNBC.com headline:

Rudy Giuliani - the GOP’s Barack Obama

There's a difference, of course. Obama's home state still loves Barack's guts.

Giuliani®'s home state...well...New Yorkers, chime in here.

1. His popularity was never great

and it was fading. If he runs, he won't carry NYS.

2. I remember hearing these stories about how much he was hated in NYC pre 9-11

4. Yeah bc he was total a-hole lol. Oh, and still is. Oh, and he blamed the troops for al Qaqaa -

8. Perhaps a reference to this (Oct. 28 2004):

But the Republican argument that Kerry was insulting the troops was inadvertently undermined by Rudolph W. Giuliani, the former New York mayor who has been campaigning for Bush. He appeared to blame the troops explicitly on NBC's "Today Show," saying "the president did what a commander in chief should do, and no matter how you try to blame it on the president, the actual responsibility for it really would be for the troops that were there. Did they search carefully enough, or didn't they search carefully enough?"

3. Did everyone forget he tried to kick his wife and kid out of the Mayor's house

and move his girlfriend in?

7. And had an affair in full view of the entire city.

And did his best to shut down adult businesses, especially any gay adult business.
And treated homeless people like criminals instead of people who needed help.

The man was heartless, vicious, and liked making people's lives hell, and he was proud of it.

6. Even though I despised him... he was a much better mayor then

Bloomberg. When I had housing complaints Giuliani's HPD inspectors always showed up --- and issued Violations. They found around 125 Violations over a few years. Under Blomberg's HPD 1 valid complaint, and they never showed up for 20 complaints I made to 311.
