I detest him, and always have..even more than Bloomberg, and the day he left office is one of my fondest political memories. Thanks for this article, besides providing more legitimate fodder, I now see that I'm not alone. I’m a New Yorker.

It wouldn't matter if the Republicans fielded a candidate who was a merger of the best qualities of Ghandi, Mother Theresa, and Martin Luther King. They still wouldn't win the presidency because they'd be tainted by the astoundingly incompetent actions of the Republican leadership of the last 8 years. I find the whole electoral race odd.

Giuliani represents Cintra a spanish co. that has ties with buying some our our roads for the cheerleaders of the wished for NAU or Amexicanada. Then he has those staged phone calls implying his wife was calling during a speech delivery. Maybe it was Cintra on the phone letting him know that he has his check in the bank. Wake Up America!

I loathe him. He takes credit for changes that were years in the making, that were the results of policies that had been put in place years before and of demographic changes (crimes goes down when the number of young single men goes down). He was unbearably divisive vis a vis race--instead of bringing the city together, he focused on marginalizing the already disempowered. His much vaunted 9/11 cred overlooks the various ways he had refused to provide the FDNY with better communications gear that would have prevented deaths. Post 9/11 he denied raises etc. to the firemen's union. He did only one thing that I admired him for--he sued the federal government on behalf of the immigrants of NYC. And in this campaign, he's renounced that move. Slightly tangentially, I've always suspected that Buffy's Principal Snyder was based on Giuliani. The character's physical presence, his manner of speaking--they're so spot on. God, I hate Giuliani. I loathe him.
